Welcoming your little one into the world is magical - and styling their nursery should be just as special.

Whether you're nesting in the final weeks of pregnancy or designing a space for your newborn, creating a nursery that feels calm, meaningful, and uniquely theirs is such a beautiful part of the journey. One of the easiest (and most heartfelt) ways to do that? Personalised and laser cut decor.

Here’s how you can style a nursery that feels warm, timeless, and full of love - using keepsakes you’ll treasure for years to come.

1. Make the name the Star

Your baby’s name is the heart of their story - so why not let it shine?

A wall name plaque adds a soft, elegant statement above the cot, on a shelf, or as part of a gallery wall. Choose a natural timber finish for a warm, earthy vibe or soft pastels to match your nursery palette.

Tip: Hang your baby name sign at eye level or above the cot using removable 3M tape to create a soft focal point.

2. Add a Touch of Nature with Dried Florals

Dried florals add beauty and texture without overwhelming the space. A dried floral name sign or floral letter brings a delicate, organic touch - perfect for creating a calm, nurturing space.

Plus, they last years, lasting longer than fresh flowers and aging gracefully.

Our floral letters and plaques are handmade to order - no two pieces are identical, just like your little one.

3. Tell Their Story with Keepsakes

Layer in personalised items that celebrate special moments:

• A birth announcement plaque to display on shelves

• A pregnancy reveal keepsake tucked into a shadow box

• Custom milestone set you can reuse as photo props

Not only do these pieces add personality - they’ll become part of your family's story and memories over time.

 4. Use Soft Layers & Natural Materials

Laser cut wood and natural textures bring a soft, calming feel. Combine them with:

• Linen canopies (like the pink one we show here!)

• Timber furniture

• Woven baskets

• Neutral toned rugs

It creates a tactile, grounded look that feels safe and calm.

 5. Create a Memory Shelf or Wall

Floating shelves are a beautiful way to display sentimental decor:

• A framed ultrasound

• A personalised plaque

• Their hospital band or first booties

Mix and match pieces to tell a visual story of your baby's arrival.
