Having trouble deciding on a functional yet chic nursery design? Finding a balance between baby-friendly needs and an adult sense of style definitely isn't easy. But any room can be transformed into a nursery with a bit of thought and effort. Simply employ any of these 10 spectacular professional designer tips to create the perfect space for baby.
2. Magical molding. Surround existing bookshelves with whimsical moldings to create a delightful look for a baby's room. It's the perfect frame for your Dr. Seuss collection.
3. Classic baby. Wrap the entire nursery with wainscoting to add classic and timeless distinction to your nursery. The higher the wainscoting, the taller the ceiling will appear.
5. Wallpaper wonderment. Follow this designer trick in your nursery for a 2-for-1 payoff — install a wall covering onto the ceiling for stunning decor and an element that stimulates your baby's eyes at the same time.

6. Royalty room. Drape fabric as a backdrop to create a canopy that is fit for a little prince or princess. (Caution: Make sure it's well out of reach of little fingers being able to pull it down, which can be a safety hazard.) Follow this designer's lead and install a crystal chandelier as the crown jewel of the nursery.
7. I'll take a window seat, please. Install a window seat with a flip-up top for extra seating and storage to house all of your loved one's toys, books and supplies. Nothing is better than sitting next to the window on a perfect day.
8. Double the pleasure. Having twins is a handful — well, two handfuls to be exact. Place your cribs on opposite sides of the nursery to provide each twin with his or her own space.
10. Posh tot. Make dressing up your little fashion bug fun by hanging outfits on the wall as art. Fashion-forward parents will love this one!
