For Osaka, picking a specific direction was difficult. “That was the hardest part because I liked them all and it was difficult to pick one! We ultimately landed on the cloud theme, which feels really perfect for what we envisioned,” she says.
Of course, there were specific pieces that the pro tennis player knew had to make it into the nursery. “As a first-time mom, I didn’t know much about nurseries, but from speaking to some moms I know, I knew having a comfortable rocking chair is important,” she explains. “I wanted one that reflects my style and the Pollie Rocking Chair is exactly what I had in mind.”
Osaka also wanted to make sure she had a place to lie down, plenty of storage and a few personal touches. “There are two photos that I really wanted to include in the nursery. Above the daybed, I hung a photo of a sleeping bear and a sleeping tiger,” she tells PEOPLE. “Those photos are really special to me and make me feel peaceful, which is how I want my daughter to always feel in her room.”
As Shai gets older, Osaka wants the space to grow with her daughter. “We can swap out the furniture when she needs a ‘big kid’ bed, but the base elements of the room, including the rug and lighting fixtures, will stay and grow with her.”
While she is both “excited about embarking on this new adventure of being a mom” and “nervous about what’s to come,” Osaka notes that she feels “as prepared as I possibly could be.”
