Finding the perfect balance of whimsy and what reflects your own personal style can be a challenge when it comes to designing your baby-to-be's nursery. But Jessie De Lowe, the art therapist and yoga instructor behind the popular blog How You Glow, nailed it with the help of online interior design service Laurel & Wolf.

The nursery Jessie designed with Laurel & Wolf basically is the stuff boho chic dreams are made of: clean lines, soothing yet cheerful colors, creative functionality, and an overall vibe of that highly coveted laid-back California cool.

Looking for nursery inspo or ways to streamline (and modernize) the kids' rooms? Then you need to see this dreamy nursery. We dare you to walk away uninspired.

The toys, knickknacks, and bins make a big enough statement in this room that flashy art or wall hangings aren't necessary.

Fresh Flowers

A cute alternative to cacti or fiddle leaf figs for baby's room is simple fresh flowers. A few sprigs in a vase or two looks incredibly sweet and instantly adds life. As a new parent, you'll spend quite a bit of time in the baby's room, so you might as well make it enjoyable.

Jessie also decided to put a bed in the room (which, as any seasoned parent can attest to, isn't a bad idea!). The natural frame combined with the white bedding and blue throw go perfectly with the rest of the room. Also, that gorgeous Moses basket!

For a soothing feel, go minimal on the wall decor. Simple bunting or garland can go a long way in a nursery.

Built-ins are a great way to save on space -- and money -- in baby's room. All of baby's adorable toys, accessories, and baskets full of blankets and burp cloths basically take the place of expensive tchotchkes. And, talk about easy access.
