15 amazing, inspiring baby nurseries

Wow, it's a great time to be expecting if you're a crafty parent. When I had my kids, the internet had not yet given birth to the beautiful bundle of inspirational craft-joy that is Pinterest, and even Facebook was just learning to walk. Now, we're all just a quick search-and-click away from nursery inspiration in the form of incredible handmade mobiles, DIY wall art and fancily painted changing tables. Here, our top 20 favorite nursery ideas from across the web… By Gina Cohen, MSN Living Lead Producer

Chevron nursery Next Slide

Admittedly, we are fools for anything in a chevron pattern. This sweet nursery literally feels like eye candy, from its sweet fuschia and white accents to its deliciously colorful wall gallery. Love!

Previous Slide Big city nursery Next Slide

Little baby, big city. Love this adorable mural design from Anita Roll, who believes every child deserves to wake up in a room that makes them smile. This one absolutely delivers. A nice change of pace from the typical blue/white boy nursery.

Previous Slide Bright and bold nursery Next Slide

This bright, bold nursery couldn't be cuter. Love the orange rug, the chevron accents, and the colorful ceiling! The Dr. Seuss-inspired art on the wall is the perfect touch.

Previous Slide Striped wall nursery Next Slide

Check out that gorgeous floral wall letter for baby Mila! The soft grey and white striped wall is a perfect backdrop for the splash of hot pink used to accessorize this beautiful nursery.

Previous Slide Hanging paper lanterns Next Slide

This room is all about the clustered paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling. The trend of hanging large items in lieu of a typical mobile is really adorable, and I like that this one isn't directly above the crib where one might otherwise be concerned about baby's safety. Muted grey walls are a great backdrop for this colorful ceiling decoration and it's mesmerizing!

Previous Slide gallery wall Next Slide

Ah, the gallery wall. This is a newer trend in baby room design - the idea is, rather than spelling out baby's name on the wall (also cute), find some fun, funky frames, paint them in contrasting colors and add pictures and sayings to sweeten up the space.

Previous Slide Yellow striped ceilings Next Slide

Look. At. The. Ceiling. Can't get over the yellow and white pinstriped ceiling in this room, and the contrast with the dark nearly-black wall. This is a room that proves that not all babies' rooms need to be 'babyish' to be cute.

Previous Slide Wall decals Next Slide

Most of us wouldn't think to use grey on the walls for a little girl's room, but this example shows that with just the right touches of femininity, it's the perfect wall shade. We love the use of tree decals and the words on the wall, making this a peaceful room for the sweetest of slumbers.

Previous Slide Vintage book covers on the wall Next Slide

Framed vintage Tintin book covers make this wall especially adorable. Modern furnishings make it picture perfect.

Previous Slide Black and white nursery Next Slide

We're fans of color for babies, but if you're going for the monochromatic look, take inspiration from this eye-catching design.
