Shop the Look: Black & White Checkered Boy Nursery
If you've been dreaming up a bold, modern nursery that still feels warm and timeless, this black-and-white checkered space checks every box. Anchored by a personalized checkerboard crib set and layered with texture — boucle, rope, felt, and knit — it's playful without feeling overdone. Below is every single piece, so you can recreate the look (or shop pieces à la carte) for your own little one.
The Crib & Bedding
Personalized Checkered Crib Bedding Set The heart of the room. This custom crib sheet, blanket, and matching pillow are personalized with baby's name and set the black-and-white checkerboard theme for the entire space.
Black 4-in-1 Convertible Crib A simple, modern black crib with tapered wood legs — the perfect neutral base for a bold bedding statement like this one.
Seating
Boucle Rocking Chair with Wood Base An ivory boucle rocker with a mid-century wood frame and a handy side pocket. Cozy, textural, and built for all those late-night feedings.
White Wooden Ride-On Rocking Horse A classic nursery decor piece that doubles as a future toy. The clean white finish keeps it from competing with the checkered bedding.
Wall Decor
"Adventure Is Always a Good Idea" Canvas Banner A cream canvas banner with bold black lettering — an easy, punchy wall moment above the crib.
"Be Kind, Be Brave, Be Smart..." Hanging Banner This black felt pennant banner adds an affirmation-style message in a graphic, easy-to-read font.
Woodland Baby Animal Print Set (6 Prints) A set of six black-and-white baby animal portraits — bunny, fawn, raccoon, owl, bear, and fox — framed in natural wood. Great for a gallery wall.
Cream and Black Mobile A handmade wool felt ball mobile on a wooden arch frame, hung above the crib for texture and movement.
Textiles & Soft Goods
Black & White Cross-Stitch Pattern Knit Blanket A chunky knit throw blanket with a bold plus/cross motif — great for tummy time or draped over the rocker.
Black Blackout Curtains with White Cross Pattern Room-darkening curtain panels that continue the graphic black-and-white theme while helping baby actually sleep.
"Long Live Boyhood" Checkered Throw Pillow Cover A checkerboard-bordered pillow cover with playful script lettering — a fun accent for the rocking chair.
Rugs & Floor
Ivory Dotted Shag Area Rug A soft, plush rug in cream with a scattered dot pattern for subtle texture underfoot.
Storage
Black & White Checkered Rope Storage Basket A woven cotton rope hamper in a bold checkerboard print with leather handles — perfect for blankets or laundry.
