A romantic theme for a baby nursery is the perfect “excuse” to bring out the pastels, lace and flowers. Starting with traditional style baby furniture, the emphasis is on frills, curves, soft textured fabrics and floral motifs, especially roses. Murals, borders and stencils can include dreamy images like cherubs, trellises and hearts. Focus on creating a space that is layered and feminine, one both you and your baby girl can “sink” into.

Choose colors (from Benjamin Moore) that whisper pink rather than shout. The wall color sets the mood, and especially for a romantic themed nursery, you will want to select a gentle shade. Ditto for wallpaper; patterns should be pastel as well, with smaller sized designs.

The focal point of the nursery is of course the crib. The Natart Verona Classic Crib in French White and Silver couldn’t be more traditional in style or design. It has cabriole legs, decorative molding and a scalloped apron. The crib even includes a floral motif carving.

The Bratt Decor Chelsea Double Dresser/Changer in Antique Silver certainly meets all of the romantic requirements. The scrolled metal accents that include a leaf motif on the drawer fronts combined with scrolled feet make this change table/dresser beautiful to look at while giving it just a touch of whimsy.

Choose crib bedding that will be as soft and romantic as the décor. The BeBe Chic Angelica 3-Piece Baby Crib Bedding Set really brings a cohesive look to the other elements in the room.

You will need someplace comfortable to sit when feeding baby. The Klaussner Furniture Mahogany High Leg Reclining Chair is unabashedly romantic. It will also be a chair you can move to another room in your home when it’s no longer needed in the nursery.

For convenience sake and added functionality, put a traditional style end table beside it. The Cooper Classics Camden Cottage White Lamp Table is the perfect place to put the Mary Kate and Ashley Rosavita Table Lamp.
