The baby room trends of 2023: sustainable and a touch retro

In the new year, sustainability is at the forefront. Even when we look at the baby room trends of 2023. And that expresses itself in many ways. Reusing things, for example. Or buying second-hand toys and refurbishing vintage furniture. Nice and retro!

But also consider sustainable, natural materials in the baby room, such as organic cotton and rattan. Complement with items that are fairly made and you have a beautiful, sustainable baby room according to the trends of 2023. Below we list them all for you.

The baby room with character

Simply following trends is out of the question this year. Although, that is a trend: not following trends anymore. Are you still following it? What we mean is that you can give character to the baby's room. Give your own twist to the decor, the use of color and the furniture you put down. Restyle a vintage closet, reuse your own crib from the past and go for accessories that are your own and that suit you. 

Colors of 2023 for baby's room

Natural earth tones have been booming for quite some time. In this new year, a few colors are being added. These are still calm, graying shades from nature, but more colorful. Think of shades of green like you find in the forest, shades of yellow like on the beach and the dunes and shades of blue from the sea and the sky. So many natural colors that go perfectly with still going strong beige and sand.

Imperfection

Homes inspired by the Scandinavian style of living have been seen for a long time. Add Japanese influences to that and you have the Japandi style of living to tackle. Also fits perfectly in the sustainable line, because: many natural materials such as wood, rattan and linen. And wabi sabi is also part of it. This is a life philosophy from Japan that actually means something like perfectly imperfect. Seeing the beauty in things that are not perfect. The teddy collection fits perfectly.

The DIY baby room trend

Totally in the style of sustainable is the DIY baby room trend. Scour flea markets, rummage around among the furniture at the thrift store, and take a peek into your grandparents' attic in search of the most beautiful vintage or even antique furniture. Who knows what you'll find. A linen closet, dresser, an old crib or hanging cabinet. These pieces of furniture tell a story and therefore exude a lot of atmosphere. Sometimes you don't even need to refurbish them, other furniture needs a little more attention. Do it yourself and sand, paint and adjust doorknobs until you have furniture that suits you. Do you still have an old feeding pillow in the house? Give it a new look with a loose nursing pillow cover. 

Rattan is a keeper

Rattan is not entirely new, but it is definitely here to stay. The natural material actually fits any room. In addition, rattan is strong and remains beautiful for a long time. So it is ideal to pass it on afterwards, completely in line with the sustainable trend, to make someone else happy. Think of a rattan cradle or rocking chair for night feeds and baby cuddles. Or go for rattan accessories, such as a coat rack or mirror on the wall. You can further add any color and style you want!
