We loved creating a special place to bring our baby boy home too. Lots of thought and planning went into creating our baby boy nursery room, and I’m so excited to finally be sharing a nursery tour! As soon as we found out we were having a baby boy, I started thinking of how I wanted to decorate and hitting up pinterest to find images to match my ideas.
Our bedrooms are a decent size which allows this room to be both a baby nursery room and an office space. When we were decorating, we kept in mind that one of us would also be working in this room during the day. Blue and gray are the primary colors throughout our house, so it was pretty easy for us to carry that into this room and have it feel cohesive with the rest of the house while also being special for the baby.

The first task on our list was to pick out baby furniture. I did not want white as I felt that might look dirty over time. With our natural wood color floors, I thought a dark wood would be the best fit. We sourced all of our baby furniture from a local Houston store, Baby and Kid’s 1st Furniture. I highly recommend them for all your big baby item needs! We also purchased a car seat from them, and they installed it for FREE!
We loved the dark brown shade of the crib and dresser. I felt it had the slightest gray/cool undertone which would work perfectly with the blue and gray decor we planned to add. We also picked out a Kiwi Glider rocking chair for the room. This chair is amazing! It swivels, rocks, reclines, and charges your phone. We have also both slept in this chair can can confirm it is comfy.
I created a little book area around the chair by adding both bookshelves to the wall and a book bin next to the chair. A rolling cart serves as a little side table. I love the three trays on it. Right now, we use it to store our sound machine, blankets, and more books. It also was a spot for breastfeeding equipment, spare pacifiers, and a place to set a bottle.
We used our decor to add in lots of blue touches included our light blue circle rug. I wanted a solid rug and this was the closest that I could find to our wall color. It’s also washable which we’ve done a few times and it’s held up well. Other blue decorative but also functional items are the blue sheets, blue blankets, and blue and white toy and laundry bins.
We added the diaper changing station option to our dresser and it’s been the perfect spot for it. I store diapers and clothes in the top few drawers and have perfect access to them for diaper changes and getting ready in the morning. Another blue touch, is our super soft mat cover. These white liner pads are a must with a boy! They catch any leaks that may occur during diaper changes so you don’t have to wash the cover as much.
My favorite part of this room is the blue statement wall. Since this is also an office space, I didn’t wait to paint the whole room a color. I have friends with these types of walls and have always loved them. I sourced a few ideas from Pinterest and we had a professional do the install and painting. They did an amazing job and even had the idea to frame the little window on the wall.
I didn’t want an overpowering them to our room which is why I mainly went with a color theme of blue and gray. I’m a fan of elephants, so they did make their way into the room here and there. I really wanted to be able to change out decor to match our baby’s favorite things as he grows.
The diaper changing station setup is key as baby grows and a diaper change starts resembling wrestling a small alligator, lol. I keep a few toy options from stuffed animals, teethers, and toys that make noise plus some spare pacifiers. The little bear was my husband’s when he was a kid. We also keep necessities like wipes, lotion, and diaper rash cream.
My husband purchased the artwork when he was a kid. He lived in London for a short time and purchased them while out shopping with family. I love including items from his childhood in this space. We also used the extra bookshelf has a nightlight and stuffed toy shelf. We just turn it upside down. This also gives us a place to hang out clothes for the day if needed.
Last note on our baby boy room, I highly recommend this diaper pail. We tested some out in the store, and we thought this was the easiest to open and throw away a diaper while also holding a baby. I think it also holds in odor really well.
I hope you enjoyed this little Baby Boy Nursery Tour! I loved sharing this space with ya’ll! Please save the below pin to Pinterest so you can refer back for inspiration if needed!
