ChilDecor Story — Handmade Nursery Decor from Ukraine
From Our Nursery to Yours
The first mobile I made was for Emilia. Not for a shop — for her. My name is Alina, and a year later, my husband said: "Let's open an Etsy store." That's how it starts — one person sees the potential, the other brings it to life with their hands. From day one, we were a team.
Since then, we've opened a few more shops, welcomed another child, and made thousands of unique pieces that found their place in nurseries around the world. But the dynamic has stayed the same: my husband — the vision and the structure, me — the shape and the detail. It's not a division of labor. It's just us.
ChilDecor is a family business in the most literal sense. We make things for babies because we're parents ourselves. We know what it means to choose something for your child's nursery — and that's exactly why we treat every single detail as if it were made for our own kids.
If you're looking for something made with the same care:
Handmade with care, trusted by thousands
We've been crafting nursery décor since 2019 — long enough to know what parents actually need.
Four shops, one standard. Every product we sell is held to the same level of quality and care.
Every number behind a real order, a real nursery, a real family who chose to trust us.
US-based warehouse for select items — faster delivery, no customs delays.
Not a factory. Every piece is made by hand, by people who care — because that's how we'd want it made for our own kids.

War Didn't Stop Us
We started in a small town in the Donetsk region. Now the front line runs through it. Where our home once stood — there are ruins.
When the full-scale invasion began, we left. We started over — outside Kyiv, with our kids, a sewing machine, and a decision not to stop. Home is where your family is. We understood that quickly.
The hardest time was when my husband was mobilized. I was pregnant. Two kids. The business on my shoulders. Seven months of not knowing how to hold it all together — but I did. He came back. Now he's a veteran, and we're building everything again, side by side.
Running a business during a full-scale war is something else entirely. Shelling, power outages, an economy that shifts every week. But every order is support. Not just financial. It's a sign that what we do matters. Thank you to everyone who stays with us.
We will endure. We already are.
