Building the perfect nursery might feel overwhelming at first, but don’t worry, we’re here to guide you, every step of the way. With over 80 years of helping parents design spaces that feel truly like home, we’re on a mission to help you create a nursery that’s as unique, warm, and welcoming as your growing family.

Here’s our step-by-step guide to creating the nursery of your dreams:

1.   Step One: Evaluate Your Space.
Take a moment to walk through your home, paying attention to the colors, textures, and items that bring you comfort. What makes you feel at ease? This is the perfect place to begin gathering inspiration. Identifying the elements that make your home feel cozy will help spark ideas for your nursery and ensure it’s a seamless extension of your family’s space.

2.   Step Two: Choose Your Color & Aesthetic.
The color palette sets the tone for your nursery, so choose one that feels right for you. Whether you gravitate towards soft neutrals or vibrant hues, your chosen color scheme will be the anchor for your design. This step also helps narrow down your design aesthetic—whether it's modern, rustic, boho, or something entirely your own. Your vision starts to come to life here.

3.     Step Three: Select Your Crib.

Your crib is the heart of the nursery, and we’ve designed our cribs to grow with your family. From your baby’s first nights to those many exciting growth milestones, Storkcraft® cribs offer innovative, convertible designs that transition seamlessly into toddler beds and even into “big kid” beds. Discover some of our favorites:

4.     Step Four: Organize Your Space with Practical Storage.
A well-organized nursery is essential for both style and function. Our dressers blend elegant design with ample storage space, giving you a beautiful yet practical solution for all your little one’s essentials. Here are a few top picks to help you stay organized:

5.     Step Five: Add Comfort and Style with Nursery Seating.

Whether you’re looking for a soothing rocker, a cozy recliner, or a stylish swivel glider, we have a range of seating options designed for your comfort—because those late-night feeds and quiet moments are just as important as the rest of the space. Consider these calming seating choices:
