Are you an expecting parent? Are you trying to design a modern nursery and find yourself stuck? These seven top tips are sure to inspire your quest for contemporary decor. Let the shopping begin! (And really, isn't that the best part anyway?)
1. Layer Rugs
The use of one rug is so yesterday already! Go ahead and splurge on rugs you can design and layer according to color, texture, and shape. You'll never have to worry about using rugs that are 'too large' or 'too small' ever again.

Layering rugs instantly adds a contemporary feel to any room it is placed.
2. Use Mid-Century Pieces
If hipsters give interior designers a run for their money, why can't your nursery-designing skills do the same? Take those mid-century looking pieces out from your parents house and into your own nursery to give it a contemporary look fit for interior design magazines.

Do not that any beautiful mid-century piece will enhance any modern nursery exponentially.
3. Use Playful Patterns
With the plethora of adorable peel-and-stick wallpapers out there, it’s super easy to update your nursery into something fresh and modern. Think geometric shapes, chevrons or whimsical illustrations.

No need for frames, photos and paint when you can use wall stickers.
4. Pick One Color Palette (and Stick to It)
A nursery done in various shades of gray can be simultaneously soothing and contemporary.

There's nothing boring about an all-gray nursery.
5. Think Beyond Baby
When picking out a rocker or nightstand for the room, think beyond the all-too- fleeting baby years and select a piece of furniture that could easily transition to a toddler room or the family room.

A rocker that goes from baby to grown-up is indispensable.
6. Skip the Theme
No all monkeys or princess-themed rooms allowed. Instead, stick to complementing accessories and colors - just as you would in designing your own bedroom.

Pass on baby themes for a chic and modern look.
7. Keep It Simple
When creating a modern nursery, less is always more. As Coco Chanel once said, “Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance.”
