Our Picks
Chic Baby Bassinet

Designer Advice:
Available in espresso, gray, and white. The bassinet’s versatility can work in a variety of interior styles such as a modern farmhouse, midcentury modern, or contemporary space. We recommend pairing this with a rocker in the same slatted style. Or create contrast by opting for an upholstered midcentury chair and a furry area rug to bring softness to the room.

Designer Advice:
Amp up the fashionable vibe that this piece brings to the nursery by styling the room with a furry, cloud-shaped area rug. On the walls, hang some delicate yet unique artwork such as animals or landscapes taken in a sophisticated fashion. Complete the look with a Hollywood-glam or modern Italian dresser and a constellation-type glass chandelier.
