There are parts of the whole pregnancy journey that aren't much fun. As much as anyone might be looking forward to becoming a parent, it's hard to imagine that anyone really loves things like morning sickness, body aches, and getting stretch marks.
Because pregnancy can be so physically (and sometimes emotionally and mentally) hard, it makes the joyful and fun parts that much sweeter. Things like choosing a name and getting to decorate a nursery are real highlights for a lot of parents-to-be.
And while many of us might look forward to decorating a nursery, there are so many choices to make. What color palette to use? Should it be gender-neutral or a traditional explosion of pinks or blues? Should it be luxe, minimalist, eco-friendly, or designed as a room that the baby can grow into as they get older?
One of the fun things about social media is getting to see a glimpse of the gorgeous nurseries belonging to our favorite celebs. We might not have the budget to hire a professional decorator like some of them can, but that doesn't mean we can't find some great design inspiration from these dreamy baby spaces. Scroll down to see 15 baby nurseries that are totally sweet and just might inspire anyone looking for a perfectly serene space for all those long nights to come.
Ashley Tisdale
Jodie Turner-Smith
British actress and model Jodie Turner-Smith shares a daugher with Joshua Jackson (we are still #TeamPacey, now and forever), and we love that they went with a soothing blue wall color for their nursery. There is no need to stick to boring old "rules" like blue being a boy color when it comes to nursery design, as this cozy space shows.
Shawn Johnson East
Olympian and mother-of-two Shawn Johnson shared this cute picture of her daughter hanging out in her nursery, and it is such a good reminder of the importance of making the space kid-friendly once the baby turns into a toddler. Having toddler-sized furniture and soft finishes like that thick rug make it a fun and functional place for a little one to play and unwind with a nice stack of books.
Kailyn Lowry
Teen Mom star Kailyn Lowry isn't a teen mom anymore. She's 30 now and mother to four kids, so it's safe to say she's had several chances to figure out nursery decor that she loves. What we like about this glimpse into son Creed's nursery is the animal prints on the wall. Animals are a common nursery theme, but this is a good example of how to do that theme in a way that isn't too cartoony and can work for years as the kid gets older.
Emily Ratajkowski
Okay, full disclosure, we're not 100% sure if this is the main nursery for Emily Ratajkowski's son (though we do spy a changing table in the background), but this picture is a good illustration of something we love for nurseries: comfortable lounge furniture. Having a space to nurse, read, or just snuggle with the baby is so clutch, and sometimes we just want more space than just the traditional rocking chair.
Sadie Robertson Huff
Author, speaker, and former reality TV star Sadie Robertson Huff has a sweet baby girl with an even sweeter name: Honey. This peek into Honey's room shows a great option for families who are blessed with homes with high ceilings. Yep, we love a fun hanging chandelier light fixture for a nursery. It's nice to have some lighting that the soon-to-be toddler won't be able to knock over, right?
Mandy Moore
One of the challenges of designing a nursery can be finding a way to make it feel both right for the youngest member of the family but not have it scream "BABY" with sickly sweet colors and finishes. Mandy Moore's nursery is a good example of how to use interesting color combinations to make a space that is interesting but still youthful. We also spot that wallpaper trend in effect here too!
