Vintage Baby Nursery - Vintage Style Nursery Decorating Ideas
If you are a fan of vintage and would like to bring the style
into your nursery, focus on elements reminiscent of the past -
romantic, whimsical and warm are all characteristics of the style.
Shabby chic or Victorian, or a mix of vintage and modern, you can take
any direction you like in decorating your vintage-inspired nursery.
Vintage Nursery Furniture
The furniture for a vintage nursery should have elements reminding
of a bygone era - think cast iron, hand-painted motifs, distressed
finishes. You can also bring in pieces that are cherished family
possessions - a wing-back chair, an antique dresser or mirror - all
these will be perfect for creating a chic vintage feeling. If the
furniture pieces that you have do not match the colors you are going
for, you can always re-upholster or re-paint them which will give them
a fresh look. We have selected a few exquisite examples of vintage
cribs and bassinets below; for more information, click on each of the

Vintage Nursery Bedding
When selecting bedding, find one with delicate embroidery, lace, crochet details and hand-made elements. You can choose any colors to coordinate with your room, but lighter colors such as off-white, vanilla or light golden will be perfect.
Vintage Style Nursery Art
Now, when it comes to the accessories and wall decor, think about combining antique family possessions and newly-bought vintage-inspired items. For instance, old family photos would be perfect next to vintage children book prints and the arrangement will be truly unique and personal. Select photo frames with a distressed finish in your color scheme - you can find affordable options at local craft stores or go for more custom one-of-a-kind items at big brand name manufacturers. Take a look at a few of the many possibilities - we have chosen a few vintage prints from publications and all-time favorite children books below:
