Every year, new decoration trends appear on the horizon, influencing our interior environments. These trends even creep into the baby's room, which is intended to be a space that is soft, soothing and functional. Will the stork be flying in soon? Here are some ideas for decorating and furnishing your baby's room.
Neutrals that comfort
This year, the watchword is comfort. This is true in all interior spaces, including the bedroom. Neutral and mineral tones are the basis of a soft chromatic palette that gives an atmosphere of tranquility and benevolence to the room, as well as to our mind.
Neutrals also allow us to get away from preconceived ideas and the traditional blue and pink duo that is no longer popular. Instead, we create a cozy nest for baby by respecting our values and opting for non-gendered and unisex colors and objects.
Cover the walls
The walls are also covered with patterns that reproduce rich textures, which creates a real cocoon and delimits the space.
Our favorite is the MERAKI collection , a young brand based in Quebec, which created a mini collection especially for the Charlotte et Charlie boutiques. Its wall coverings are original, unique and, above all, easy to install (see the cover photo).
Flax all year round
The addition of natural tactile materials, such as wool, linen, velvet and cotton, contributes to this feeling of well-being. They sneak onto bedding, but also onto cushions, throws, rugs and even onto furniture. Among our favorites, the boucle wool armchair gives chic while linen bedding invites itself even all year round.
Our suggestion: give your little one a sweet rest with pure linen sheets and blankets from 7PM Linen .
Raw materials
Warm and timeless, wood is always present. It coordinates with other raw materials, such as rattan, wicker and sea hay (sisal), which is making a strong comeback.
We are multiplying the accessories made from these materials, like this hanging shelf made from natural rattan from the Olli Ella brand.
Slow design
More than a trend, “ slow design ” is in line with our values. If 2021 demonstrated the importance of buying local, we are taking the concept further this year by making ecological and sustainable choices. This is particularly the case for Canadian manufacturers Natart Juvenile and Dutailier , available at Charlotte et Charlie, who offer certified, high-quality wooden furniture, and whose evolving and transformable models allow you to grow with your child.
Our favorite is the Nest Flexx collection by Natart, which is specially designed for small spaces and sports a modern, Scandinavian-influenced look.
Organic shapes
Nature is everywhere and it even inspires furniture designers who reproduce its organic shapes, such as a drop of water, a tree branch or even a wave, on different objects. Forget straight lines and rectangular furniture: roundness is the favorite this year.
Our favorite is the Sleepi convertible bed from Stokke , which, thanks to its unique oval shape – right on trend! – allows you to create a cozy cocoon for your baby. It will grow with him until he is about 10 years old.
Mismatched sets
In 2022, we follow our instincts and desires by mixing styles, eras and colours to create an environment that reflects us. The baby's room also has fun mixing mismatched models, which will still follow a guideline. We notice that the bedside tables are more stylish than ever and at varying heights.
The importance of lighting fixtures
Whether spherical, minimalist or true works of art, the lighting fixtures are carefully selected. More than ever, designers are renewing styles while modulating the types of lighting. Among our favorites, the ball-shaped lighting fixtures, a bit retro, soften the decor.
Our favorite is the Egmont Toys collection of night lights, handcrafted.
Bleached wood
Bleached wood brings light and softness to our interior. It covers not only the walls, by installing panels imitating wood or paneling, but also the floor.
Our tip: opt for furniture that mixes natural wood and white wood, which will be both bright and warm. Pictured: the Pomelo collection by Dutailier .
A touch of lavender
Every year, the famous American color chart Pantone announces the color of the year, the one that will influence both fashion and decoration. It is Very Peri (or Very Periwinkle), a periwinkle blue almost lavender that encourages creativity and imagination.
For the baby's room, we prefer lavender, a softer shade that will punctuate the decor. Here are some inspirations:
- The musical snow globe Once Upon a Time by Moulin Roty
- A plush Bashful bunny from Jellycat
- A bath poncho from Happymess
Take inspiration from these trends to create the decor of your dreams for your baby's room and have fun personalizing it and giving it a signature that reflects you.
