In recent years, acrylic furniture has definitely been making a comeback. I still remember when I saw the very first acrylic crib debut at a trade show probably 12 years ago! At the time, it was so new and modern that it didn’t catch on immediately, but now it’s a major trend and I expect it to stick around for quick some time.

Not only does it look cool, acrylic can be a fairly sustainable product. It is 100% recyclable, super durable, and nontoxic. The fact that it doesn’t break or require any paint or lacquer means it’s also a safe choice for a nursery. Because acrylic is clear, it takes up less visual space, which is great since most nurseries are on the smaller side.

Acrylic is light and airy, but also modern and versatile. There’s a reason we use it all the time here at Little Crown Interiors! You’ve probably seen lots of acrylic cribs in our nursery designs. Below are some of the best acrylic crib options for your nursery.

1 Luma Acrylic Crib: This crib is so stunning in person. The modern look with the rose gold base makes it feel elegant and sleek. We used this gorgeous crib in this Roh Acrylic Crib: The Roh is BPA free, phthalate free, and 100% recyclable clear acrylic. This one has a more modern design and is definitely on the higher end of the price spectrum, but it’s a seriously high quality piece. You can see this one in action in our colorful safari nursery.

3 Vetro Acrylic Crib: This showstopper of a crib is the first 100% recyclable, non toxic acrylic crib on the market! I still remember seeing this one way back when it first came out. This one is available in a mini crib as well if you are looking for a bassinet-like option for those first few months. The Vetro is a splurge! We’re working on a few nurseries right now using this crib.

4 Evolur Acrylic Crib: This acrylic crib is a simple, modern design at a great price point. If you like the modern look of acrylic, but don’t want to go nuts with the price, this is a great option.

5 Sloane Acrylic Crib: This crib is another very affordable option. It can convert to toddler bed, daybed and a full bed. With the mid-century legs and modern look, this one is a great choice. This one also comes in a stunning black frame if you want to go bold!

6 Sloan Acrylic Crib: Not to be confused with the “Sloane” above, this acrylic crib is one of the most popular—you’ve probably seen it before! This one is Greenguard Gold certified to ensure good indoor air quality. You can see the acorn finish in this Nifty Acrylic Crib: This one is a bit unique since it has a light wood finish instead of the typical white or black that most acrylic cribs have. Instead of slats, this crib has acrylic panels with laser cut star shapes. Pretty cute if you ask me!

8. Harlow Acrylic Crib: This is another convertible crib that we use frequently for clients. It features a mix of wood and acrylic slats with a wood frame and a modern flat base. You can see it in action in this black and white nursery and also this floral nursery design. The wood is sustainably sourced and also Greenguard Gold certified. This one also comes in black.

A final tip before you go crib shopping—if you already know you want a toddler bed conversion kit for down the road, double check if the kit is included. If not, I recommend purchasing those at the same time as the crib in case it gets discontinued or goes out of stock.

Predicted as one of the breakthrough design trends of the year, acrylic is now popping up everywhere. If you’ve followed me for any amount of time, you’ve probably seen it. I got on the acrylic train way back when and luckily the trend only seems to be growing (good news for me). For lovers of acrylic, there are now countless brands offering a variety of acrylic decor pieces you can use to accent your nursery, playroom or kid’s room.

Acrylic finishes are perfect for nurseries and playrooms due to the lightness (both visually and physically) of the material. At the same time, acrylic has the power to remain gender neutral and works alongside virtually any color scheme. The best part is that it’s practically indestructible. When I was shopping for dining room chairs, I went with acrylic. They won’t break, will last forever, wipe clean and pretty much survive anything a kid can throw at them. There are 2 downsides however: fingerprints and scratches. I will say though that I’ve never had a problem with scratching myself, nor have I heard it from any of my clients.

Acrylic adds structure without weighing the space down. It is great as a base to then layer on pops of color, and texture without creating too busy or eclectic of a feel! The opacity lends to a floating effect as the pieces nearly disappear into the space. Because of this, acrylic is a great solution for smaller spaces as the functional element remains without visual overcrowding.

This acrylic house bookcase uses acrylic to make a visual (and functional) statement! I love the way this bookcase gives the decor a floating effect. This piece could also function as a dollhouse in a playroom as baby grows, or could even sit on a desk for small books and homework accessories. For a more masculine alternative, try this mod locker toy box!

If you are looking for a strong, base piece to design your space around, this acrylic crib is the perfect fit. I can’t even tell you how many of my clients have requested this crib! I’ve used it in the nursery above, in this floral girl’s nursery, and this modern boy’s nursery just in the past few months!

These acrylic book shelves are also one of my most requested items. You’ll see them all over my portfolio. The shelves can be staged with book covers to fit your color scheme for a custom wall decor solution. The opacity of the shelves allows books to be visible to your child which is a great way to encourage reading!

Hardware is the perfect solution if you’re looking to work in a subtle touch of this trend or tie in a more statement acrylic piece. These lucite drawer pulls add such a thoughtful touch! Consider pairing these with an acrylic curtain rod. I was recently working on a nursery where my client wanted to reuse a Pottery Barn changing table, but wanted to modernize the room. We switched out the knobs for these acrylic pulls for a totally new look.

I’ve been a fan of Kartell forever, and one of the products I love the most is the acrylic rocking horse. Called the H-Horse, this piece comes in really pretty colors and is as much of a design statement as it is a toy.

I couldn’t help but fall in love with these acrylic elephants! They would add such a whimsical touch to a jungle-themed space! It’s hard to tell in the photo, but these guys are little, about 6-8″ wide.

Not sure if you are on board with the acrylic trend just yet? Start small with a decorative item like the elephants above and work your way up! Regardless of your room type, theme, or child’s age, there is a piece to fit your need! Would you use acrylic in your nursery or kid’s space?
