Designing an Eclectic Grandpa Inspired Nursery
Have you heard all about the eclectic grandpa trend yet? If you’re wondering what on earth this phrase describes, we’ll catch you up. In short, eclectic grandpa—a 2024 trend that Pinterest predicted—is all about embracing quirky, old school motifs both at home and as part of one’s wardrobe: bring on the comfy knit argyle sweaters, leather accents, and eccentric decorative pieces.
While your little one is essentially as far away from grandparenthood as possible, there’s no reason that you can’t decorate his or her nursery to reflect this fun, funky style. Below are our top Nestig product picks that majorly read eclectic grandpa.
Design a nursery for an old soul who knows there’s nothing better than a day spent exploring the city then relaxing under a tree in the park. This NYC-themed mobile will prep your little one for their future big city life.
We love Hugo the Elephant for an eclectic grandpa nursery for many reasons (including the fact that he apparently loves trolley rides and games of chess—major grandpa vibes right there!). But he also couldn't be more ideal given that his personality traits are “thoughtful, silly, and wise.” What else would you want in a grandfatherly figure?
Eclectic grandpas love experimenting with new takes on classic preppy prints. One way you can do so in the nursery is with this adorable gingham wallpaper featuring thick stripes, which doesn’t take itself too seriously. It comes in five different colors, ranging from blush pink to pastel green—there’s truly a pick for everyone! Not feeling this pattern? Other runners up for the eclectic grandpa nursery are our Tweed Stripe Wallpaper, Sketch Wallpaper and Ribbon Wallpaper.
Last but not least, finish off your eclectic grandpa nursery with our Spark Sheet Set, which is perfectly argyle chic without being stuffy. The peppy orange hue will brighten up Baby’s mornings if you crave a dose of vibrance, but there’s nothing wrong with sticking to the classic blue colorway, either.
