Our favorites include Maisonette with their chic, modern pieces, Target, due to their endless supply of cute basics, and Etsy, with its selection of artsy finds from small businesses. Here are the best places to buy nursery decor. Plus, for truly sweet touches, they have collaborations with Disney Princesses, Peanuts and more. There’s always a new collection coming out from Pottery Barn Kids, so be sure to check back regularly for the newest and coolest decor items that you won’t see in any other homes. They also offer free design appointments where an expert guides you through designing a space so you can feel more confident shopping for pieces.

Sure, it’ll set you back a cool $2900, but it’s basically a piece of art, right? Target has a convenient feature where you can order through their app and pick up at their store at a special Drive-Up location—with someone to bring your items right to your car. Just note that you will have to assemble larger furniture items yourself. West Elm offers a 3D room planner so you can actually see what your furniture will look like in your space. This means less returns and less fuss when the product actually arrives and you have to decide where it will live within your nursery. Pictured: Sarah Sherman Samuel Swivel Glider

You can even buy paint colors right from the site. If you don’t know where to start, check out their “New & Popular” section for inspiration, or the sale tab if you’re on a budget.

Then, shop the specific components from that scape to build your own vision for your nursery. But, if you don’t know where to start, Serena & Lily’s website provides ample inspiration for modern, rustic, and coastal parents. Pictured: Harbour Cane Convertible Crib While delivery is specified as the front door of the building, you can call 2Modern’s customer service to work with them to arrange another option, such as coming up the stairs of your apartment building or into a specific room. Pictured: Ubabub Nifty Clear 3-In-1 Crib Buy Buy Baby is a super-store of sorts, with a specific goal to help you find every single thing you might need for your baby. You’ll find a huge variety of brands and a healthy range of prices online, so we recommend filtering as much as you can by color, brand or price to narrow down your options. Luckily, the site highlights different categories of products on the home page, as well as special deals going on at the moment.

They do not offer any specialty shipping options or white-glove service, so be sure to have a handy man or good friend on standby for furniture building. Pictured: Nico & Yeye Retro Rainbow Kids Rug
Versatility
While your baby’s decor and furniture may be meant to outfit their nursery, it’s still an investment—and you may want it to hold up as they grow. Aim for versatile, well-made pieces that can transition with them as they get older, such as a changing table that functions as a dresser or a crib that can turn into a toddler bed. Find a long-lasting theme that they may enjoy as a toddler, so you’re not constantly spending money on new decor pieces.
Convenience
As any parent knows, aesthetics are only one part of the equation when it comes to kids’ furniture and decor. Aim for easy-to-clean, easy-to-use products that make your job as a parent easier. (In our book, anything you can toss in the laundry is a win). Luckily, these major retailers include care instructions for just about any nursery item, so be sure the cleanup is manageable before investing.
