Nurseries blend traditional, modern styles

There will always be a place in nurseries for traditional furniture, with its heirloom sentiment that gives a nod to grand rooms of the past.

Munire’s Park Avenue collection, made from Asian hardwood and premium matched burl veneers, converts to a toddler, day or full-size bed, $699, (732) 339-6070, ABC Booths 5645 and 5651.

But there are varying degrees of blending that traditional look with the simple, clean lines of modernism.

LaJobi’s transitional Tomi Collection is made of woven cane and hardwoods, in cinnamon or licorice, $699-1,099, (888) 266-2848, ABC Booth 4003.

Swivel Glider #2097 from Best Chairs marries traditional and contemporary styles. A matching glide ottoman is also available, (812) 367-8453, ABC Booth 649.

Louis, a new line for Netto, includes a convertible crib and a combined dresser/changer, both with cabriole legs and Netto’s signature finishes of white lacquer and oak, (212) 343-1545, ABC Booth 7027.

“Louis offers something modern, but it’s also a sleek and happy adaptation of the French 18th century style,” said Netto.

Netto has seamlessly interwoven the traditional and modern look, with this collection, which was created for everyone who thinks modernism doesn’t have to be just about angles and straight lines.

And that idea seems to be catching on in the baby furniture industry.
