A Design Lover’s Guide to Minimalist Baby Gear
If the thought of bright, plastic, primary colors overrunning your artfully curated living room sounds like a statement you’d rather not make, rest assured there’s another way: minimalist baby gear. Readying your home for the arrival of a baby does not have to be a threat to your design aesthetic. Somewhere in between shimmering rainbows and woodsy beige is a fleet of contemporary baby gear that’s not only innovative and reliable but also tastefully designed.
Investing in high-quality baby gear that doesn’t cramp your style will not only flatter your home but save you from constantly tucking things away. You can have everything your baby needs to thrive, on display, while also feeling like your home is a reflection of your minimalist design spirit. From a highchair that can pass for a high-end barstool to a diaper bag that looks far too unassuming to hold wet wipes, there’s a smart dupe for everyone who wants to hold onto their style as they embark on parenthood.
Below, our favorite minimalist baby gear items for design-loving parents.

Bloom Fresco chrome high chair
Highchairs are often large, unsightly, and anchored in the center of the kitchen. For safety, they have a wide footprint to make them tip-proof — which also means you’ll trip over them on the reg. Bloom has created a beautiful, innovative chair that won’t become an obstacle and that your baby will be safe in. With various finishes and colors, you can match it to your kitchen or swap out the inserts over time — a perk as you’ll be able to use this chair from the newborn stage up to eight years old.
2/24Herschel Supply Co. Nova Sprout diaper backpack
This diaper bag is virtually indistinguishable from a commuter bag. It’s thick and durable, with easy-gliding hardware, a completely unassuming exterior, a well-arranged diaper organization system inside, and comes with a portable changing pad. The interior is equipped with pockets, zippers, and compartments for multiple bottles, a giant stack of diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, a blanket, a laptop, and all of your personal items.
3/24Snoo smart baby sleeper bassinet
Created by legendary pediatrician and author, Dr. Harvey Karp, Snoo is more than a stylish place for your babe to sleep in — it’s a revolutionary device that helps you both get more rest. The bassinet plays white noise and rocks your baby all night long, keeping them safely swaddled, so you don’t have to worry about what position they’re in. You can also control the settings and keep track of sleep quality with the complementary Snoo app. Note that not all babies are a fan of the motion and restriction, so renting might be a safer, low-commitment option.
