You know all about dark warm modern, but what about light warm modern? Two sides of the same style, both looks are sleek, streamlined, and inviting — evoking warmth and comfort while staying chic and elevated. Light warm modern spaces are particularly serene and airy, perfect for anyone drawn to subtler palettes and minimalist aesthetics. Here are three tips for styling the light warm modern nursery of your dreams.

1. Lighten up your space. When it comes to achieving this style, light and airy hues are the best foundation. But sticking with a pale palette doesn’t have to mean designing a strictly stark white space. Look to different shades of cream, beige, and even sage to help set the scene. From paint colors to area rugs to seating, try to tie in as many light shades and tones as possible. The minimalist Nami Electronic Recliner in Performance Cream Eco-Weave can be the perfect nursery chair for this style.

2. Accent with warm woods. The next step is to warm up the room even more. Accent your cream and beige palette with warm honey woods for an inviting feel. Pieces like the Hudson Crib in Honey and the Bondi Dresser in Honey can bring that homey finish to your little one’s space without disrupting your modern flow. Their sleek, minimalist silhouettes will elevate any design scheme while keeping things cozy. Another way to incorporate warm wood elements? Wood walls are having a moment.

3. Layer in soft touches. Speaking of cozy, you can’t forget texture. From dreamy boucle to fuzzy teddy loop, bringing texture-rich fabrics into your nursery is essential for any warm aesthetic. The Bondi Boucle Crib is a statement-making piece that incorporates all three of these main style elements, and the Kiwi Recliner in Almond Teddy Loop is a soft-to-the-touch chair that feels as luxurious as it looks. Any combination of these pieces can help create the light warm modern design you’ve been searching for.
