Many moms and dads like to choose traditional and vintage items to outfit a newborn baby's room, but some parents also like to decorate a nursery with sleek and stylish contemporary furniture that not only matches the furniture in other rooms of the house but gives the young baby boy or baby girl their own sense of style while growing up. While the baby furniture market is full of classic style cribs, toy chests and dressers that have been around for ages, you can also find a great selection of modern baby furniture that will not only be practical furnishings for keeping a nursery neat and tidy, but also have the aesthetic features to make your baby nursery a contemporary showcase for the latest in infant and toddler furniture.

Rarely will you find a nursery that doesn't contain a crib. From the first night you bring your newborn home the crib will be the center of attention for the first few months. Babies spend roughly 70% of their early days napping and sleeping and therefore the crib is an essential piece of furniture for any nursery. Many manufacturers turn out traditional style baby cribs with solid wood frames and spindle designs but you can also find baby cribs with a modern edge including top brand name manufacturers Azur and Pod that forgo vintage looks for more modern and sleek themes. The Pod sleigh crib is inspired by upscale urban living and reflects a more polished and sleek lifestyle. Made from bamboo veneer and painted engineered wood in a dark espresso finish the Pd sleigh baby cribs can easily convert into a day bed by removing the side and front rails and with brushed stainless steel feet gives off a contemporary look that will fit in any urban or upscale nursery.

Changing tables and dressers are other pieces of furniture you will certainly want to include in the design of any nursery and again while many manufacturers stick with plain wood furnishings that fit the classic nursery look many other designers offer contemporary changing tables and dressers that will fit with a modern baby room look. Atlantic Furniture offers a variety of knock down changing tables made with solid hardwood construction with plywood shelves that originate from rubber trees so your choice of baby furniture not only looks great it is also environmentally friendly and is valued for its dense grain, stability and attractive colors.

Another area of nursery decor you can upgrade with contemporary style furniture is table and chair sets. Most families will use the nursery as a playroom as well and it makes sense to have high quality tables and chairs for young kids to do arts and crafts projects and other playtime activities.
