White is a perfect choice for nursery decor, and works beautifully no matter what your style. To achieve a great white room, start with white walls and a white floor. By surrounding the space in white, your room is wrapped in the purity of the color and half the work is done. Next, choose white furnishings that bring the style you want to the room. By adding a few neutral touches, you give your white pallet some depth, and add overall interest to the room.

Rock-a-bye baby in the most contemporary, soothing manner. According to research, forward movement — like rocking in a swing — makes a baby the most comfortable. The baby’s brain perceives rhythmic forward swinging as a linear, soothing motion. Most of today’s cradles rock from side to side. The problem is that for sensitive babies, this type of motion can induce dizziness and discomfort. The best way to rock a baby is in the contemporary so-ro cradle that features a front-to-back rocking motion to soothe a little one to sleep. The result is likely to be a calmer, better rested baby (and parent) in the morning!

Finding new resources for quality room décor can be a challenge. The talented team at Peek a Boo Rooms comes to the rescue with designs that work together and can be altered so that a room can adapt from infant to tween. The line eschews themed prints and juvenile images so products can remain useful as kids grow. Little ones can start off with a crib and transition into a big boy or girl bed with the same designs.
