Jenny and Dave Marrs: Rainbow Retreat

Without knowing the gender of their client's baby, Fixer to Fabulous hosts Jenny and Dave designed a sunny oasis fit for a boy or a girl. Jenny created a happy ambiance with a pastel-colored, painted rainbow on the wall behind the crib.

Erin and Ben Napier: Historic and Homey

Home Town hosts Erin and Ben combined historic charm with fanciful decor in this homeowner's nursery. Trim painted sage green highlights the home's interesting millwork. Striped curtains, grasscloth shades, a vibrant Turkish rug and aged wood furniture emanate Erin's signature Old World style but still feel young. The three tier rolling cart doubles as storage and a handy side table.

Erin and Ben Napier: Country Cottage

Nature was the number one inspiration for baby Helen Napier's nursery. Botanical prints in vintage-style frames (fixed with baby-proof plexiglass for safety) bring the outside in. Twin sconces with linen shades bring an English cottage feel. The best touch: Ben surprised Erin with a white oak, hand-built crib — made by him, of course.

Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt: Nautical Nook

It wouldn't be a Mika and Brian project without a nod to the ocean. The 100 Day Dream Home hosts gave this Florida nursery a peaceful surfer vibe with wave motif wallpaper, a navy crib and custom artwork. They also outfitted the space with an armchair instead of a rocker — which their clients' son can use when he's older.

Brian Patrick Flynn: Contemporary Chameleon

Brian's New York clients had a rare find in the city — an apartment with a bonus room. To maximize the space's functionality, Brian designed it to double as a nursery and a guest room. An orange and gray color palette feels both youthful and sophisticated. The rounded crib and rocker have lockable casters and can be moved out of the way to allow for a murphy bed to extend all the way down.

Leanne Ford: Modern Scandi

Like with most of her designs, Leanne started off with a fresh, white room for her daughter's nursery. Then she layered in textures, chic shapes and collected art for a modern-meets-free-spirited look. A multi-arm pendant mounted on the wall is a funky yet clever form of lighting. And, of course, the space wouldn't be a Leanne design without a touch of black: The sleek changing table is stylish and functional.

Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa: Youthful Black and White

Tarek and Heather make a case for a black-and-white nursery. For their baby boy's room, they chose a bold palette that complements the rest of their home. A zigzag pattern stenciled on the wall has the same effect as wallpaper, but at a more affordable price point. “We thought the pattern could grow with him, but we can easily paint over it if we decide to change things up,” Heather told HGTV Magazine.

Mina Starsiak Hawk: Boho Brilliance

There's no guessing who designed this eclectic nursery. In her classic style (read: major attention to detail) Good Bones star Mina decked out her son's nursery with global furnishings. A beaded chandelier, carved wood art over the changing table and a multi-texture tapestry on the opposite wall create a found, global look. Tassels on the stool and an arrow patterned bed skirt add to the room's earthiness.
