Country style colors (from Benjamin Moore) should reflect nature, the blue sky, the brown earth, the green grass, the yellow sun. Popular shades for baseboards, windows and moldings include pure whites, off-whites with a “washed” appearance and soft creams. The color you choose will set the nursery’s mood – the warmer the tones, the more inviting the room will be.

Country cottage baby furniture has the cherished, well-worn look of furnishings that have been hand-crafted and passed down through the generations. The emphasis is on comfort, in both design and style. Lines are gently curved, profiles are relaxed and decorative accents are “fun” rather than “fussy” like their more traditional counterparts. The Stork Craft Rochester Stages Oak Fixed Side Baby Crib displays Windsor chair-like slats, a camelback and gently curved sides and feet – all hallmarks of country cottage style.

Of course in a country cottage, plaids and ginghams aren’t restricted just to window treatments. As evidenced by the Cotton Tale Derby Plaid 4-Piece Baby Crib Bedding Set, chenille, plaid and check materials make for a happy “down home” mix.

A changing table makes any nursery more practical since it makes it easier on you to change your baby and it increases your storage solution options.

The Badger Basket Round Rattan Hamper in Natural with Sage Gingham Liner is the ideal accessory to have in a country cottage style nursery.

To add even more country charm the Cotton Tale Derby Plaid Baby Nursery Lamp and Shade will not only shed a little light, it will also complement the crib bedding set.
