Baby Nursery Design Inspirations

Baby nursery decor can be extremely overwhelming, especially for new parents. There are numerous different decorations, furniture items, bedding wall art, etc. for you to take into consideration. Therefore to assist you in narrowing down your options, it is a great idea to focus on a motif. Keep in mind, a theme doesn’t need to be based on a cartoon, teddy bears, clowns, or animals; it can be based on something as simple as a color or be entirely eclectic.

A theme is not altogether required for the baby’s nursery, but can be helpful when it comes to organizing and focusing your decorating ideas. With that in mind, the following is a step-by-step method of how you can focus your baby nursery decor plan by using a theme.

Step 1 – Select a theme. Picking out a theme is about focusing on one element and utilizing this element throughout all of the items you utilize to decorate the baby’s room. Examples of a theme include, but are certainly not limited to:

• Classic cartoon – I.E. “Mickey Mouse”, “Winnie the Pooh”, “Peter Rabbit”, etc.
• Magical creatures – I.E. fairies, dragons, elves, etc. – any characters that can be found in fairytales and nursery rhymes.
• Animals and Bugs – I.E. Butterflies, caterpillars, bumblebees, lady bugs, birds, marine animals, farm animals, etc.
• Teddy bears
• Clowns
• Balloons
• Flowers
• Sports
• Geometrical shapes
• Color
• Etc.

The list of themes can be exhaustive. Thus, it is a great notion to pick something you enjoy and want your child to respond to. Determine how many different decor items are available to accentuate your theme by browsing both online and brick and mortar retailers.

Step 2 – Focus your theme. Once you’ve decided on your baby nursery decor theme, it’s time to focus your theme and give it shape. For instance, if lady bugs are the chosen theme, brainstorm about the many ways you can incorporate lady bugs into the room. This doesn’t just mean taking the actual bug into consideration, but also its other characteristics such as its color. If you wish to focus only on red lady bugs with black spots, than the color red and black spots should be a common part of the theme. Or, if you want to have an undersea motif, paint an under the water ocean mural on the wall and use tropical wall art for a three dimensional appeal.

Step 3 – Expand on your theme. Once you have selected a theme, you must then turn your attention to furniture and positioning of furniture. You need to determine what furniture is necessary and then place it in the nursery to achieve the best and handiest and unobstructed layout. Start with the essential pieces (I.E. crib, dresser, and changing table), and if you still have sufficient room, you can then proceed to add more furniture such as an end table, rocking chair, etc.

Since most of the baby nursery decor accessories will be the focal point of your theme, it’s a good idea to keep furniture looking simple. Matching wood or white colored furniture goes well with nearly any motif.

Step 4 – Color your theme. Once you know where the furniture will go, the next step is your walls. You may choose to wallpaper in your theme, or paint the walls. When painting your walls, regardless of your theme, it’s a good idea to choose a light color to create an open and gentle feeling. Good colors include a warm shade of white, light yellow, green, pink or blue. Paint the wall a solid color and then add a thematic wallpaper boarder at the top or middle of the room. If you don’t want a boarder, consider painting a few characters from your theme on the wall with the assistance of a stencil, paint your own design free-hand, or put up a wall mural. Just make certain that all designs, artwork, or murals are positioned on the wall in a manner that will not be blocked from view by furnishings.

Step 5 – Finish your theme. You can finish off your motif with accessory items after the walls have been finished and the furniture has been positioned inside the room. This includes floor art sculptures, stuffed toys, lamps, music box, baby mobile, area rug, night light, bedding quilts, window treatments, etc. Using a farm animal theme as an example, you can obtain a musical mobile that features different animals, a cat lamp, a bumper with ducks, a cow throw rug, a dog nightlight, sheep bedding, piggy bank, wall art of a barn and farm animals, and so on.

No matter what theme you select for your baby nursery decor, make sure you don’t leave your decorating to the very last minute. You don’t want to be putting the nursery together in the last months of your pregnancy.
