So, you’re planning for the arrival of your little one and getting the house baby ready. But let’s be real: While you’re all about necessities, you don’t want your stylish house turned into a jungle gym. So where does that leave you? Since we were kids, baby-friendly furniture has come a long way, which we think we proved with our 25 creative and beautiful nursery design ideas. (And if you’re still looking for a high chair, take a peek at these super cool picks!) But let’s not get ahead of us, what you first need is a rocker. We rounded up our favorite modern chairs that will help you rock at being a first-time parent, without sacrificing your style.
1. Brendan Gallagher Rocker: With its walnut finish, mesh lining and low seating, this sleek rocker almost has a mid-century feel. (via Brendan Gallagher)
2. GT Rocker ($1,150): If you love retro, then this ’70s statement piece is perfect for your nursery or living room.
3. Dock Rocker ($135): Nothing says modern like this ultra-hip black curved rocker. With seamless lines and no harsh edges, it’s simple, yet bold.
4. Modern French Rocking Chair (Call for pricing): Could this worn leather look be any more boho chic? Mounted on a steel frame, you’ll be the coolest parent rocking your little one to sleep.
5. Skeleton Rocker: We couldn’t describe it better than its name already does.
