Nursery Furniture

Designer Nursery Furniture for Contemporary Baby Rooms

A nursery needs to provide a comfortable sleeping environment, practical everyday storage and furniture that makes caring for a baby easier without losing the considered character of the wider home.

RB12's collection of designer nursery furniture is centred around French nursery brand Theo Bebe, with cot beds, cradles, wardrobes, chests of drawers, changing tables and accessories created using natural materials including solid wood and rattan.

The range includes coordinated collections such as Hermione, Nami Bois, Oceania, Marelia, Lafayette, Coquillage and Naia Bois, allowing beds and storage furniture to be selected individually or combined into a more complete nursery scheme.

Theo Bebe Nursery Furniture

Theo Bebe is a French nursery furniture brand focused on natural materials and furniture intended to remain useful beyond the earliest stages of childhood.

Across the collection, solid wood is frequently combined with rattan, MDF and water-based finishes. Several of the brand's cot beds are evolutive designs that can be adapted as the child grows rather than functioning solely as an infant cot.

RB12's Theo Bebe collection currently spans beds, wardrobes, chests, changing furniture and accessories, making it possible to create a coordinated nursery around one collection or combine individual pieces from several ranges.

Natural Wood Cot Beds

The cot is generally the central piece of nursery furniture, so dimensions, materials and adaptability are important considerations when planning the room.

RB12's collection includes a substantial choice of natural wood cot beds from Theo Bebe in both contemporary and more classically influenced styles.

The Theo Bebe Nami Bois Natural Wood Cot Bed combines solid wood with woven rattan panels and is available in 60×120cm and 70×140cm sizes. It can later be converted into a child's bed and sofa, allowing the furniture to adapt as the child grows.

For a lighter painted finish, the Theo Bebe Hermione Natural Wood Cot Bed combines solid wood with rattan detailing and is also available in 60×120cm and 70×140cm formats.

Evolutive Cot Beds

An evolutive cot bed is designed to remain useful beyond the baby's first sleeping stage. Depending on the individual model and conversion accessories, the furniture can change from a cot into a child's bed and, in some cases, later function as a sofa.

The Nami Bois Cot Bed is one example within the Theo Bebe collection, while the Hermione Cot Bed also incorporates adjustable mattress heights and can be converted as the child develops.

This approach can be particularly useful for parents who want the main nursery furniture to remain relevant for longer rather than replacing the entire bed after the cot stage.

Theo Bebe Nami Bois Collection

The Nami Bois collection is one of the strongest natural-material ranges within the RB12 nursery collection, combining solid wood with distinctive rattan detailing.

The Nami Bois Natural Wood Cot Bed forms the centre of the collection and can be paired with the Nami Bois Nursery Chest of Drawers and Nami Bois Nursery Wardrobe.

The chest provides three soft-closing drawers and can be paired with an optional changing box, while the wardrobe combines hanging space, shelving and a lower drawer within a two-door design.

Using the three pieces together creates a coordinated nursery with consistent solid-wood and rattan detailing across sleeping and storage furniture.

Theo Bebe Hermione Collection

The Hermione collection combines a light painted finish with natural rattan details for a nursery that feels softer and more decorative.

The Hermione Natural Wood Cot Bed incorporates rattan weaving across the headboard and footboard and offers two mattress heights.

It can be combined with coordinating Hermione storage, including the nursery wardrobe and chest of drawers, allowing the main pieces within the room to share the same material and colour language.

Theo Bebe Lafayette Collection

The Lafayette collection takes a more classical approach, with detailing influenced by Louis XVI style while retaining the practical features required from contemporary nursery furniture.

The Theo Bebe Lafayette Natural Wood Cot Bed is available in 60×120cm and 70×140cm sizes and offers two adjustable mattress heights.

For storage, the Lafayette Nursery Wardrobe combines two doors with internal shelves and a hanging rail, with brass handles adding a more traditional decorative detail.

Theo Bebe Coquillage Collection

The Coquillage collection provides another distinctive interpretation of natural nursery furniture, using soft forms and rattan details to give the furniture a more decorative character.

The Theo Bebe Coquillage Natural Wood Cot Bed provides the centrepiece of the collection and can be paired with coordinating storage and conversion accessories as the nursery develops.

Theo Bebe Marelia Nursery Furniture

The Marelia collection offers a lighter and relatively understated approach to contemporary nursery furniture.

The Theo Bebe Marelia Bois Natural Wood Cot Bed provides a natural timber option within the range, while coordinating chests, wardrobes and changing furniture make it possible to continue the same design language throughout the nursery.

Theo Bebe Oceania Nursery Furniture

Oceania introduces woven rattan details across beds, storage and changing furniture for a softer natural appearance.

The Theo Bebe Oceania Natural Wood Cot Bed forms part of the wider collection, while the Oceania Changing Table provides a coordinating practical piece for everyday care.

The changing table includes two shelves beneath the top and wheels that allow it to be moved more easily between rooms. Natural rattan is used across the uprights and woven surround.

Nursery Changing Tables

A dedicated changing table creates a defined surface for everyday changing while keeping frequently used items within reach.

RB12's nursery changing table collection includes coordinating Theo Bebe designs from Oceania, Nami and Marelia.

The Theo Bebe Oceania Changing Table, for example, incorporates two storage shelves beneath the changing surface and is designed for a 52×75cm changing mattress.

Where flexibility is more important, selected Theo Bebe chests can also be combined with compatible changing accessories, allowing a storage unit to perform an additional nursery function during the earlier years.

Nursery Chests of Drawers

A nursery chest of drawers provides enclosed storage for clothing, bedding and smaller everyday items without occupying the height of a full wardrobe.

The RB12 nursery chest collection includes coordinated drawer units across several Theo Bebe ranges.

The Nami Bois Nursery Chest of Drawers features three soft-closing drawers and combines solid wood and rattan detailing with an optional changing box.

This dual-purpose approach can be especially useful where the nursery needs to provide both storage and a changing area without adding another large standalone piece of furniture.

Nursery Wardrobes

A dedicated nursery wardrobe provides hanging and folded storage while helping keep clothing and other essentials organised as the child grows.

The Theo Bebe Nami Bois Nursery Wardrobe features two doors, shelving, a hanging rail and lower drawer within a solid-wood and rattan design.

For a more classical look, the Lafayette Nursery Wardrobe combines a painted finish with brass handles and generous internal storage.

Natural Wood and Rattan Nursery Furniture

Natural materials are one of the defining characteristics of the Theo Bebe collection at RB12. Solid wood and rattan appear across many of the beds, wardrobes and storage pieces, helping create warmer nursery interiors than furniture based entirely around painted surfaces.

For example, the Nami Bois Cot Bed combines solid wood with rattan weaving, while the corresponding Nami Bois Wardrobe repeats the same material combination.

The brand also specifies water-based paints and varnishes across its nursery furniture range and states that its rattan components are made by hand.

How to Choose Nursery Furniture

Begin with the bed and available floor space. Check the complete external dimensions rather than only the mattress size and allow enough room to move comfortably around the cot.

Next, determine how much storage the room requires. A chest of drawers can hold folded clothing and smaller items, while a wardrobe provides hanging space and greater long-term capacity.

Consider whether a standalone changing table or a chest with an optional changing accessory suits the room better. In smaller nurseries, furniture capable of performing more than one function can help use the available space more efficiently.

Nursery Furniture That Grows with Your Child

One of the strongest features of the Theo Bebe collection is the availability of evolutive furniture and conversion accessories.

Products such as the Nami Bois Natural Wood Cot Bed and Hermione Natural Wood Cot Bed are designed to transition beyond the initial cot configuration.

This makes it possible to plan a nursery around furniture intended to remain part of the child's room for longer, while wardrobes and chests continue to provide useful storage as clothing and storage needs change.

Creating a Complete Nursery

Start with the principal furniture: a cot bed, chest of drawers and wardrobe where the room allows. Choosing pieces from the same collection creates a more coordinated look, while mixing closely related natural finishes can create a softer and less uniform interior.

A rug can add warmth and texture underfoot, while carefully positioned table lighting and wall lighting can provide softer illumination alongside the room's principal light source.

As the child grows, the furniture can then transition towards the wider bedroom furniture collection rather than requiring the complete room to be redesigned at once.
