Farmhouse nursery

Looking for inspiration for a farmhouse nursery with traditional style?

This dreamy gender neutral baby room, designed by Ashton Kirby from Port Orchard Washington, delivers a rustic vibe, but with a classic twist.

Ashton took a fresh approach to the rustic nursery trend and created the sweetest little abode for her new baby Braxton!

Timeless pieces give the room a refined edge that brings warmth, texture and a relaxed vibe.  Our soft Gray Buffalo Plaid Crib Bedding and a tufted glider add to the traditional look of the room.  However, the navy ship lap wall, beaded chandelier and metal name letters give the room its farmhouse feel.  The white Storkcraft Bayview Crib has classic style, clean lines and anchors the room.  Perfect for a farmhouse styled nursery.  An ottoman in the nursery is a must have and just the spot for relaxing tired feet.

When designing a rustic baby room, you don’t have to go full out with red plaid, dark woods and woodland decor.  A simple farmhouse nursery decorated with classic styling can create a cozy and warm space for your baby, and can easily blend in well with the rest of your home’s decor.

The breath-taking navy blue ship lap wall is the perfect backdrop for the white furniture, soft plaid baby bedding and nursery decor.  The deep shade of blue makes the crib and framed artwork pop.  Endearing framed wall art from Hobby Lobby features a gray watercolor style elephant design with a popular message:  “Dream Big Little One”.

The plank ceiling, with its natural texture and charming style, can warm up any space!  Keep it clean with bright white paint.  The wooden beaded chandelier from Wayfair takes center stage, and adds a dramatic touch.  A soft toned area rug provides subtle aztec influence.  Rustic floating book shelves are handmade by Braxton’s daddy!

The gray tufted glider from Wayfair anchors this corner space and adds a perfect spot for bedtime stories.  The white toy chest was made by Ashton’s grandfather for her when she was a little girl!

We think this nursery is the perfect combination of sweet and simple.  Everything about this room is oh-so-chic!   A gender neutral nursery is a great choice, if you are planning for another child.  The decor and bedding will easily transition for the next addition.  You can always accent the room with other non-neutral decor.

Today we are excited to share the sweetest baby girl nursery sent to us by Jessica Waters of J Miles Designs!  Jessica’s dream of a pink farmhouse nursery, that was both cozy and not too bright, becomes a stunning space for her new baby.

After trying for 5 years to have a child, baby Penelope arrived!  Jessica’s 3rd IVF treatment was successful, and as you can imagine she was over the moon about the birth of her first baby!

The farmhouse trend for baby’s rooms is still going strong, as farmhouse nurseries are the rage, and so much fun for a baby girl!  Shiplap walls, wooden elements, rustic touches and chandelier are necessities if you are planning a farmhouse styled nursery for your baby girl.  To make the nursery feel special for Penelope, Jessica fell in love with the name sign above the crib from Creating Happiness.  A name sign is a great way to personalize your baby’s room.  The eye-catching wood beaded chandelier is the perfect choice for the room, as it adds warmth and texture. A darling play tent next to the crib gives an enchanting look, and a touch of greenery adds color.  Including a tent in the nursery adds to the ambiance of the room, and provides a fun spot for Penelope to play!

Neutral colors in the room create warmth and coziness.  The off white furniture sets the stage for a timeless look and the vintage style has a luxurious look and feel.  To keep with neutral tones, Jessica chose our soft cream crib sheet and custom ruffle crib skirt made of our washed flax linen fabric for Penelope’s crib bedding.  Our washed linen fabrics, available in a variety of colors, create elegant and sophisticated crib bedding.

The neutral toned mirror over the dresser has a unique shape and adds a rustic feel to the room.  Corner wooden shelves are perfect for display of keepsakes and photos.  Dark hardwood plank flooring is the ideal contrast to the white shiplap walls.

Subtle touches of pink accents, including the pom pom trim nursery curtains and area rug, are reminders that this room is for a baby girl!  The sweet unicorn rocker, baskets and wood accent table all add personality to the room.  A large glider is elegant, comfy and a delightful spot for feedings and reading.  The blown up image of baby Penelope that adorns the wall can’t help but put a big smile on your face!

What baby boy wouldn’t be thrilled to be welcomed home to this cozy and comfy nursery?!  With an abundance of natural light, this room creates a calming retreat for a baby.  The blue buffalo plaid wallpaper, rustic crib and a touch of greenery give the room the look and feel of a classic farmhouse nursery.  Morning news anchor of FOX 5 in Atlanta, Katie Beasley, designed this precious room for her new baby, Cole Davis, born October, 19, 2018.  This sweet nursery serves as a warm, welcoming space for Katie’s new baby boy!
Cole’s room is the perfect mix of neutral colors and textures.  The blue buffalo plaid wallpaper makes a bold statement, and is the perfect backdrop for the rustic wood crib.  This nursery gives an abundance of baby boy nursery ideas and features sweet baby boy nursery decor.
The mix of different color woods in the nursery furniture gives the room an eclectic feel.  The white dresser from Wayfair doubles as a changing station, saving space in the room.

Katie chose our simple and neutral white and gray trimmed crib rail cover from our Small Wonders Crib Collection for the crib bedding, which fits perfectly in with the color scheme of the room.  The rustic crib and the plaid wallpaper give the nursery a farmhouse style.
A cozy corner in the nursery provides a relaxing spot for feedings and bedtime stories.  The gold floor lamp gives a modern twist to the room.  The nursery is well organized with wall shelves and cubbies for toys and more.
Thank you Katie for sharing this classic and timeless room with us!  This classic baby’s room will never go out of style!

We chose to do a farmhouse style nursery for our baby boy, although this nursery could be fit for a girl as well. We love wood walls and have pallet walls in other rooms so the shiplap was one of the first things we decided on. We love clean simple and rustic wood so this nursery ended up being exactly what I imagined and very affordable also. With basic patterns and reclaimed wood accents, we made this nursery a room we love spending time in!

My husband and I are soon expecting our first child in August. Two years ago, we purchased our first home – a traditional, yet cozy cape cod nestled in western Pennsylvania. What started as just a house, was turned into a home after several months of hardcore renovations. Our primary focus was on the main floor – the kitchen, living room, dining room and the master bedroom. We figured we would tackle the two bedrooms and bathroom located on the second floor when the time came to expand our family.
Well – that time has come. We decided on which room would be the nursery and my lumberjack husband went to work on turning it into a canvas for a shabby chic farmhouse nursery. While turning such a small room (with vaulted ceilings, mind you) into an open, airy nursery sounded like quite the challenge…we happily accepted. As history has played out with past projects, he builds the things and I decorate them.
Like I mentioned, because of the vaulted ceilings and traditional features of our cape cod, I wanted this smaller space to come alive by incorporating an abundance of light, airy colors. The decorating was on hold though until the crib was built – cue my lumberjack husband. With is amazing woodworking skills, he crafted our little girls crib using poplar wood that he painted white – as opposed to leaving it natural and staining it.
I decided on a shabby-chic, vintage-floral theme with soft pinks, off-whites and the occasional pop of gold and mint. Easy enough, right?
Here is the [almost] end product! We’re still working on some finishing touches, but thought I’d share to offer some inspiration for others!
 

When my husband and I found out we were pregnant and began thinking about a nursery, we knew that we would need a space functional as a guest room and nursery combo in one.  Our home is a three bedroom home; we have a toddler in one room, and couldn’t afford to lose our guest room space.  We wanted to style this space with to be inviting, warm and cozy, so that both baby and future guests feel right at home.  So began our Farmhouse styled nursery/guest room combo.
The room concept initiated with the handpainted picture that hangs above the dresser.  This picture is of my grandparents’ house, where my dad lived when he was 11, and it was hand painted by my uncle and framed using salvaged wood from this house when it was torn down.   With most Farmhouse styled homes, it is likely you will come across a windmill incorporated somewhere in the design. I located this beautiful, affordable windmill from my local Hobby Lobby.  From there, I knew I needed to find the perfect baby quilt to finish my style board and know the exact direction/color pallet that I would be following.  After a lengthy online search, I found a little shop on Etsy, Bantam Quilt Co. Her handcrafted quilts quickly caught my eye as they were stylish, beautiful, and affordable.  The owner, Carrie, was so easy to work with and quickly grasped my vision of the room when I shared with her the hand-painted photo.
Once I had these three elements and a more concrete direction of where I was going to take this space, I began working on the room’s layout.  I already had the beautiful Jenny Lind crib, as it was daughter’s crib that I painted when I was pregnant with her (painted in Annie Sloan Paris Gray and sealed with Annie Sloan Soft Wax).  We originally had a queen size bed in our guest room, but I decided to switch to a full size bed for a better fit without losing too much “bed space”.  My aunt and uncle had this beautiful, antique metal bed in their guest room.  When they heard I was looking for a full size bed, they offered me theirs so that they could upgrade to a queen for their grandchildren.  DEAL!  When I received the bed, it had some rust in places and was also painted white and gold; I knew I needed to bring it back to life.  My husband and father sandblasted the bedframe, my husband primed it afterwards to prevent any rusting, and I painted it using Valspar Chalky Paint Finish in Trousseau Blue.
I arranged the furniture (with some help from my husband and wonderful neighbors) and began picking up random pieces to decorate from stores in my area, as well as online.  I am a firm believer in baskets and storage and knew that I wanted as much storage as possible for this space.  I began with the closet, purchased a beautiful bookshelf from Target, chicken wire baskets for the bookshelves shelving along with galvanized bins for the top of the closet from my local Walmart.  Next to the bed, I placed two stackable, storage baskets that will double as a space for guests to use as a bedside table.  They are amazing and have a TON of storage space inside; I was lucky to have stumbled across them at my local TJ Maxx.  I am able to store family blankets as well as sheets and bedding without taking up the closet space.   With this space also being a nursery, I needed ample amount of diaper and accessories storage. The cute metal stand next to the baby crib was purchased from Kirklands and holds my diaper overflow that will not fit into the diaper baskets I have sitting on the dresser next to the changing pad.  It is stocked with all of my burp cloths, bibs and blankets for easy access. The beautiful, wood and wire crates were purchased from Michaels and sit next to the changing pad on the dresser to hold my diapers and baby necessities (powder, cream, lotions, etc.)
Aside from loving the look of this room now, I love the memories and meaning behind everything even more. We can’t wait to bring our little Jensen Hayes home!

My husband is in the military so we move a lot and consequently rent our home which means we can’t do any dramatic or permanent decorating.  This nursery had the additional challenge of being tiny–the previous renters had actually been using it as a walk-in closet tiny.  This was our first daughter after three boys so I wasn’t going to let a little thing like size stop me from making her nursery adorable.  And certainly not “gender neutral” :)

After having two boys, my husband and I were ecstatic to finally have a little girl in our home. This nursery was a mix of French Provincial, farmhouse, and shabby chic. I was working on a very tight budget, so most things were either purchased off craigslist or vintage antique marts and re-done.

I knew from the start that I wanted to create a bright but neutral space four our 4th baby who’s gender was a surprise! I didn’t want the room to be too masculine or feminine so we kept the color pallet very simple with mostly white and a few dashes of varying shades of gray and tan. Our surprise baby arrived a month early and is a darling little girl who we named Portlynn Blake.

This is the nursery for our 4th (and final) boy! The previous owner had turned the entire room into a closet so, rather than trying to patch up all the holes and retexture the room after we removed all of the rods and shelves, we decided to give the focal wall a planked treatment as well as the bench seat area which was originally the closet. We purchased a few items, but many were repurposed from other rooms.

Everyone kept asking me “What’s your theme?” and I didn’t really have an answer as I just wanted it to be Harley’s room :) I am deal finder & love designing rooms. All I knew was that I wanted vintage pieces but not the cliche shabby chic but rather a room she could grow in and not feel like a baby’s room :) I think we accomplished that!
