Spring Nursery Refresh: How to bring that sweet spring feeling into your nursery

Spring is in the air, and with it, the promise of new adventures, new blossoms, new life, and sunnier days. But that fresh spring magic doesn’t have to stay outside your home; it can also bring a sense of renewal and cheer into your nursery. It’s the perfect time of year for a simple nursery refresh that invites some of that sweet springtime magic inside.

Here are some low-stress, high-impact updates that will transform your nursery into a happy spring haven for your little one:

Add a pop of color. 

Just like the flowers showing off outside, your nursery can become a celebration of spring with the addition of cheerful color. For an affordable, one-day color update, paint a simple graphic shape or accent wall in poppy pink, calming sage, or smile-coaxing yellow. Replace baby’s fitted sheet with a bright floral, add an unexpected colorful light fixture, or update the curtains to a shade that brings you joy.

Upgrade your storage.

Beautiful storage solutions can be costly if you buy them all at once. That’s why we’re big fans of making small upgrades every so often, and spring is the perfect excuse to shop! Purchase a few beautiful storage baskets to add to the changing table, or uniform hangers for baby’s closet. Invest in those drawer organizers you know would help keep track of all those tiny socks and onesies, or swap out plastic under-the-bed storage bins for an aesthetic replacement, like faux leather baskets or printed fabric boxes. Even the smallest changes help make things feel new, and organized, and ready for a sunshine season full of memories.

Bring nature inside.

Don’t leave all the natural wonder outside your walls. Invite spring’s nature magic inside by incorporating wood tones and greenery in your nursery. The new Soho 3-in-1 Crib in walnut is a rich, warm crib upgrade designed to transition with your baby as they grow, and the deep tones in the walnut finish are the perfect contrast to bright spring colors (we love contrast for that developing baby eyesight!). Add a low maintenance live plant or two - peperomias and parlor palms are non-toxic, and a great baby safe way to start a collection. If you’re skeptical of your green thumb abilities, check out some of the great faux greenery options available online or at your favorite retailer.

Splurge on luxe fabrics

Warmer days call for airy, breezy, temperature regulating fabrics. Consider swapping out baby’s fitted sheet for one with a high linen content to help keep them cool and dry while they sleep. Update curtains to something breezy that lets the light and warmth come in. Try a sleep sack for baby made of breathable bamboo or lightweight merino wool. Light, fresh, textured fabrics echo spring breezes and help make the nursery feel like a deep breath of fresh air.

Bring in some springtime storybooks.

Books in the nursery are a great double purpose wonder - they function as both artwork and entertainment. Fill baby’s bookshelves with cheerful, springtime themed books that celebrate the season, its beauty, and your favorite spring traditions. Make sure you’ve got a soft place to snuggle up and read them together on rainy spring days, and surround your reading nook with stuffed bunnies, flower garlands, or fairy lights.
