Retro & Personalized Top the List
Retro, Retro, Retro – that’s the number #1 trend in Baby Boy Rooms. Think artwork that features vintage cars and trains, sock monkeys and cowboys. We think Murphy Smith Designs does a fantastic job capturing the retro/vintage look. If you don’t have a money tree in the backyard, buy plain inexpensive crib bedding (think white or denim) and punch up the color in the nursery by buying interesting artwork. Mix professional artwork with framed Xerox copies of your baby’s hand and footprints for even more impact.
Another trend that is making big waves are personalized bookshelves and cubbies that fit your baby boy’s room by picking your own colors. (We like the toy cubby by Jack & Jill Furnishings.) The most popular bookshelves have the book's cover facing outward, so it’s easy to organize. They are low to the ground so your little prince charming can help you with clean up!
