Designing your baby’s nursery can be daunting.
Colours, themes, accessories … it’s easy to get
wrapped up in the ‘Pinterest’ of it all and miss the
actual point: to create a warm, happy space for your
new little human, and yourself! We asked Baby
Couture owner Courteney Viljoen for some tips and
trends for decorating a simple, neutral nursery.

If big, loud colours and bold prints
are not your thing, then it’s time you
met Courteney. As the founder of
Baby Couture – a bespoke modern
nursery boutique brand – Ballito mom
Courteney is inspired by her love of
textiles and belief in the importance of
remaining true to yourself, even when
you are bringing your new little addition
home.
Courteney is passionate about helping
new parents maintain their own design
sense with modern nursery elements
that offer a stylish alternative to the
sometimes overly sweet stereotypical
nursery or child’s room. “Our designs
are high-quality creations for styleconscious
parents, designed to
enchant and engage children without
compromising quality or respect for the
environment.”
One of the most important things to
remember, she says, when designing a
room for your baby, is to create a space
that will grow with both baby and
parents. Here are a few more great tips:
