Murrieta Newborn Photographer, Melissa Lyn, discusses top fall nursery trends for 2025
Fall will be here before you we know it—which means baby season is in full swing! If you’re expecting and decorating a nursery this summer, you’re in the right place. I’ve rounded up the most talked-about nursery trends for 2025 (based on insights from Sleepfull, Babylist, and Bellini), so you can design a cozy, stylish space that feels just right for your growing family.

1. Earthy Color Palettes
Beige is taking a backseat this year. Rich, earthy hues like forest green, terracotta, mustard yellow, and deep navy are making a big splash in nurseries. These colors bring warmth, depth, and a grounding energy to the space—which is perfect for both restful naps and nighttime cuddles.
2. Sustainable Materials
More parents are choosing eco-friendly nursery items in 2025, and we love to see it. Think natural woods, rattan furniture, bamboo light fixtures, and organic cotton bedding. Not only are these choices better for the planet, but they also give your nursery a soft, breathable, and calming vibe.

3. Gender-Neutral Everything
Designing beyond the traditional pink-and-blue mindset is still going strong. Parents are leaning into soft neutrals like warm whites, taupes, and gentle greens, or going bold with a mix of vibrant tones. These gender-neutral looks make it easier for nurseries to grow with your child and adapt for future siblings.
4. Textured Layers
Texture is having a moment, and nurseries are no exception. Bouclé gliders, chunky knit blankets, fringe wall art, woven baskets—these details make your space feel extra cozy and inviting. Texture adds interest without overwhelming the room, especially if you’re keeping the color palette simple.

5. Vintage Accents
A bit of nostalgia goes a long way. Vintage-inspired touches like wooden toys, heirloom-style cribs, or antique dressers are trending in a big way. These timeless pieces give your nursery character and charm—plus, they’re perfect for capturing sweet newborn photos with a little extra personality.
As a Murrieta newborn photographer, I can tell you firsthand—these nursery palettes create the dreamiest backdrops for your baby’s newborn portraits. We’ll use your color choices to ensure that your wall art matches the nursery for stunning displays. But beyond that, they make your space feel like home. There’s nothing quite like walking into a nursery that reflects your style and holds space for so many new memories.
So, if you’re decorating a nursery this summer and planning a fall arrival, now’s the perfect time to get inspired and start creating. And when you’re ready to photograph that sweet new bundle? I’m just a message away.
Let’s make some magic—and memories—together. 💛
