Fortunately, parents today don't have to sacrifice their personal style when selecting nursery furniture.

There's no need to feel like you're stuck with ducks and teddy bears for decor ideas for your baby's nursery. Many cool nursery decor options exist that will guarantee a stylish and unique room for your child.

Minimalist fans will love the nursery furniture made by Oeuf. Environmentally conscious parents also will appreciate this company, as it is committed to being a green business -- from recycling all wood waste into briquettes that heat its facilities to holding a Forest Stewardship Certificate.

Oeuf offers three collections of nursery furniture: the Classic, the Sparrow and the Robin. Each of the three collections includes a crib, a converter for a toddler bed, dressers and a changing station. The clean, simple lines of the Oeuf collections turn nursery furniture into sleek, modern pieces of art.

Another modern nursery furniture manufacturer, Stokke makes one of the more unique crib systems on the market, the Stokke Sleepi. Oval in design, this piece can go from a bassinet to a full-size crib to a toddler bed. It can even transform into two bedroom chairs. With the purchase of a kit, it also can become a day bed and full-size twin bed, making this piece of nursery furniture truly valuable and versatile.

Other pieces of nursery furniture from Stokke include Stokke Care, a changing table that can convert into a desk, bookshelf or TV table, and Stokke Keep, a storage unit that contains a closed wardrobe and open shelving.

A great nursery furniture shopping destination is Modern Nursery. This site makes all sorts of cool furniture and decor options available at your fingertips. You can find unique mobiles, such as the Nielsen Trading Balloon Mobile, which also comes in circus clowns, dogs, horses, cats, penguins, bears, frogs and swans.
