5 Hot Nursery Decor Trends for 2016 New 2020

Clouds, moons, and stars are the new whimsical trend in nursery accents. “Typically, there is a shape, symbol, or icon that people are drawn to, whether it’s the arrow or the triangle,” Ginocchio says. “Last year it was hearts, but this year it’s all about clouds, moons, and stars. It’s just a sweet accent that really feels nursery-ish, but isn’t overly baby.”

Clouds and other celestial symbols first started showing up in layette patterns and other gear and have since morphed onto unique wallpaper, decals, pillows, and mobiles. So in 2016, the sky’s the limit (or not, as it turns out!) in nursery decor.
