On the basis that celebrities often have the resources and access to designers the rest of us are lacking, we went looking for some nursery inspiration...

To be honest, we found a few celebrity nurseries we didn't love - although we'd be interested to hear if you disagree. Let's get those out of the way first.



Kourtney Kardashian (left) went for high intensity pink, covering the walls, ceiling and floor. Too much? And does anyone else find the moon in Christina Aguilera's nursery (right) slightly terrifying? Reportedly it was her husband's idea.



Mariah Carey reportedly spent $1 million on a nursery for her twins. It's a little frou-frou for us.



Mel B's LA nursery went down the same road of frills, flounces and a bit of bling. And yet it still feels a little lifeless.

But after our initial discouragement, things started to look up.



Here's Jessica Alba's nursery. Her own baby brand The Honest Company focuses on safe and healthy products and her nursery is sweet without being over the top.



Grey's Anatomy actress Ellen Pompeo's nursery as it appeared in Architectural Digest. The neutral base of white walls, timber floors and a soft cream rug is in contrast to the boldly accented furniture and the juju hats and paper lamp shades. See the rest of her LA home here.



US blogger Emily Henderson's nursery was recently revealed in Domino Magazine. If you ignore the toys on the floor, it's actually fairly simple, with the French Minakani Lab wallpaper as the hero. If you love the tent feature above the cot, you'll be pleased to hear it's from Ikea, with customised fabric bunting.

Melbourne personality and blogger Rebecca Judd's nursery for her daughter Billy features a gold-flecked cowhide and a glitter heart wall vase by Love Star.

Australian blog The Grace Tales is a good source of nursery inspiration, focusing as it does on stylish Australian mothers. It was there we found Hannah Logan's nursery in Apple Tree Flat NSW, decorated by her sister Briar Stanley (of Sunday Collector). The beautiful wallpaper is by our friends at Sparkk Studio in Sydney.
