A baby room with a vintage look
Vintage has never been so trendy in the baby's room! Thanks to well-chosen furniture and decoration, you can perfectly integrate elements with an old-style look into your decor or create a truly vintage-looking room. So how to create a vintage-style room for baby? What are the elements that will make all the difference? What should you pay attention to? Discover all our advice!
Walls and flooring to create the desired atmosphere
Before opting for a vintage baby cot or a 60s-style chest of drawers, we'll first look at the walls and floor of the room. Indeed, everything starts there if we want to create a truly vintage atmosphere.
For the floor, wooden parquet is the covering most often chosen. Warm and easy to install, it gives a completely different look to the room. You can also opt for a vintage-style parquet by choosing for example herringbone or wide planks.
For the walls, several possibilities are available. You can of course opt for paint with white to create a neutral atmosphere or a pastel color to give more warmth to the space while keeping it soft. You can also opt for wallpaper which will give an even more vintage style to the room. Indeed, there are many wallpapers with vintage-style patterns such as flowers or animals that are perfect for a child's room. In any case, we recommend opting for paint or wallpaper paste suitable for a child's room to limit the emission of volatile organic compounds. It's also better to do this in advance to have time to properly ventilate the room before baby arrives.
The vintage baby cot
The vintage baby cot is a central and essential element to give the desired style to the room. When we talk about a vintage baby cot, we're actually talking about a designer baby cot with a vintage style. Indeed, it's not recommended to opt for a vintage baby cot in your child's room. Old baby cots don't benefit from the same manufacturing standards as new models and may also be damaged. This could represent a risk for baby.
The different bed styles
You can discover different bed styles to choose the desired vintage baby cot such as:
- The simple baby cot: this is a classic barred baby cot that can be used from around 6 months of age.
- The convertible baby cot: which will evolve as the child grows by transforming for example from a barred baby cot to a child's bed
- The combination baby cot: this model includes several pieces of furniture in one with a vintage baby cot, but also storage furniture, a changing table and many other things to save space.
- The 60x120cm baby cot: which allows you to opt for a small-sized vintage baby cot to limit space occupancy.
- The 70x140cm baby cot: which offers a bit more space for baby and, if it's convertible, allows you to have a 2-year-old baby bed.
How to choose well?
Choosing a vintage baby cot or any other type of baby bed should be done according to several criteria. It is first important to opt for furniture made with materials with low formaldehyde content, as well as solvent-free paint. This helps limit the presence of volatile organic compounds and thus preserve baby's well-being.
Moreover, you can certainly turn to eco-responsible furniture in PEFC certified wood for example, as well as made in France.
Our vintage baby cot models
At Nateo Concept, we have created several vintage-style baby beds to find this design style on sustainable, eco-responsible furniture that complies with current standards (our top 3 vintage baby cots).
There is for example the WOOD model which is a 70x140 cm convertible vintage baby cot with a lovely vintage oak color. You can also opt for the VINTAGE model which is also a 70x140 cm convertible baby cot this time in walnut and black color.
Storage furniture
Beyond a vintage baby cot, you'll also need to choose storage elements. Here too, you can opt for new furniture with a vintage style. Our collections in the old style also include storage furniture. The chest of drawers for example is an essential element of the baby's room, it can also be used as a changing table by adding a changing mat on top. You can also opt for a wardrobe which will allow you to store even more items.
Which vintage decoration to choose?
Finally, it's through decoration that you'll be able to create this vintage atmosphere in the room. You can for example opt for a lovely armchair to place in the baby's room which will be ideal for feeding and night-time wakings. Then, it's through lamps, rugs, and other decorative objects that you'll manage to create the desired environment. You can definitely hunt for decorative objects that you'll combine with new items to create an original decor!
