A farmhouse nursery is my favorite kind of baby room to build because warm wood and soft neutrals instantly make it feel calm and lived-in.
Farmhouse Crib With Simple Lines
In a farmhouse nursery, I always choose a crib with clean spindles or a straightforward frame so the wood textures can shine. I keep the sleep space uncluttered, and that simplicity actually makes the whole room look more peaceful.
Some ideas to consider:
- Natural Wood Crib: Choose a crib with clean lines to let the natural wood warmth anchor your farmhouse nursery aesthetic.
- White Cotton Crib Fitted Sheet: Keep the bedding simple and crisp with a soft cotton sheet that complements the natural wood tones.
- Jute Area Rug: Add texture and warmth to the floor with a natural fiber rug that grounds the room beautifully.
Classic White Shiplap Feature Wall
When I want that instant farmhouse nursery vibe, I put up a shiplap wall behind the crib and paint it a creamy white to bounce light around. I’ve done this with real boards and it always makes even a small nursery feel finished and intentional.
A few choices to try:
- Self-Adhesive Shiplap Peel and Stick Wallpaper: Transform your nursery walls instantly with this easy-to-apply wallpaper that mimics the classic look of wooden planks.
- Wooden Hanging Plant Hook: Add a touch of greenery to your feature wall with a sturdy hook perfect for hanging trailing plants.
- Woven Rattail or Cane Crib Bedding: Ideally complements the natural farmhouse aesthetic with textured, neutral bedding that matches wooden crib tones beautifully.
Warm Neutral Palette With Natural Wood
My go-to farmhouse nursery palette is warm whites, soft beige, and a little natural wood tone so everything feels soothing at 2 a.m. I’ve found that sticking to a neutral palette makes it way easier to mix hand-me-downs and thrifted pieces.
These products might help:
- Natural Wood Crib: Create a warm focal point with a sturdy wooden crib that timelessly grows alongside your little one.
- Textured Beige Throw Blanket: Add cozy softness and warmth to the nursery with a knitted throw perfect for late-night nursing sessions.
