Create a Cosy Cottage Look in the Nursery

Cosy season has started! The season of blankets and snuggling up on the sofa.

You might have spied #Cottagecore trending across social media – celebrating all things wholesome, heart-warming and with a generous dose of cosiness. Also known as Farmcore or Countrycore, this back-to-basics idea takes inspiration from nature. We can’t think of a better time to be decorating the whole house this way… but let’s just focus on the nursery for now!

If you’re expecting an Autumn/Winter arrival or you’re naturally drawn to this oh-so-cute and calming aesthetic, we’ve got a few ideas to help you along with your chosen nursery theme!

Get yourself comfortable, start scrolling and see what your little one has to look forward to!

Suiting traditional and modern style nurseries, the Vox Milenne Baby Cot Bed 3 Piece Nursery Set features a timeless and vintage-inspired design. If you’ve settled on a cosy cottage nursery, we can’t think of a better nursery furniture set to go with the theme! 

Available in white, light grey or a deep indigo blue – each set has been finished with gold metal handles, delicate carved details and panelling that would be right at home in a classic cottage. Pair with a floral-patterned wallpaper, jute accessories and wooden toys that your tots can treasure forever! 

The Vox Milenne collection offers more than just cute and cosy. There are plenty of modern features that make it practical too – like the height adjustable bed base, soft-close drawers and doors, optional removable baby changing table, clothes rails and convertible design – transforming the cot into a toddler bed. Your checklist shouldn’t have to change when creating the perfect nursery theme!

Designed with slatted side panels and an elegant scroll bed frame – the Obaby Stamford Mini Sleigh Cot Bed in White would fit perfectly into your little one’s quaint and cosy first bedroom!

Sweet on the outside, the space-saving cot bed has plenty of hidden features for you and your baby. The adjustable mattress height adapts to your little one’s development, the teething rails offer protection (for your baby and the furniture!) and the convertible design transforms the cot into either a toddler bed or day bed. Fill the under-bed storage drawer with comforters, soft toys and baby blankets – no cottage would be complete without them!

Here the Stamford Mini Sleigh Cot Bed has been styled with soft pink accessories and wallpaper, but you could choose any scheme! Also available as a room set, the Stamford collection also comes available in taupe grey and warm grey to create a completely different look. If you’re struggling to find your favourite, try arranging a mood board before you decide… and if all else fails, speak to a member of the Cuckooland family and we’ll help you with your vision!

For the first few months, it’s recommended your little one sleep in your room. If you’re short on floor space, you might not have the room to fit a full-sized cot bed alongside your own furniture. This is where a moses basket is a great first choice for your newborn! But this doesn’t mean you can’t stick to the cosy theme you’re smitten with!

Made from all organic materials – The Little Green Sheep Natural Knitted Moses Basket with Mattress & Stand creates a safe and reassuring cocoon for sleeping.

Designed with a removable and machine washable knitted liner and an all-natural mattress, it doesn’t get cosier than this set!

Choose from white, linen or dove grey – all paired with a woven rattan basket with handles and folding beech wooden stand making it easily portable. Once they’re napping you can take some time for yourself… or just stare at them snuggled up. It’s enough to make your heart melt!
