Baby Nursery Style Ideas
Baby nursery decor can be extremely overwhelming, especially for new parents. There are numerous different bedding, furniture items, decorations wall art, etc. for you to take into consideration. Therefore to help you narrow down your decisions, it’s a good idea to focus on a theme. 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 motif is not altogether required for the baby’s room, but can be helpful when it comes to focusing and organizing your design ideas. Keeping that in mind, what follows is a step-by-step technique of how you can focus your baby room decor plan by utilizing a motif.
Step 1 – Select a theme. Picking a theme is about focusing on one element and using this element throughout all of the items you use to decorate the nursery. 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. elves, dragons, fairies, etc. – any characters that can be found in fairytales and nursery rhymes.
• Animals and Bugs – I.E. farm animals, marine animals, birds, lady bugs, bumblebees, caterpillars, butterflies, etc.
• Teddy bears
• Clowns
• Balloons
• Flowers
• Sports
• Geometrical shapes
• Color
• Etc.
The list of themes can go on and on. Therefore, it is a wise idea to pick something you enjoy and want your baby to respond to. Find out how many different decor items are available to your theme by doing both an in store and online search.
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 example, if lady bugs are the chosen motif, think of the numerous ways that you can implement lady bugs into the nursery. This doesn’t only 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, then black spots and the color red should be a common part of the theme. Or, if you want to have an under the sea motif, paint an underwater ocean mural on the wall and use tropical fish metal wall art for a multi-dimensional look.
Step 3 – Furnish your theme. Once you have chosen a theme, you must then turn your efforts to furniture and positioning of furniture. You need to decide what furniture is necessary and then position it in the room to achieve the best and handiest and unobstructed layout. Start with the essential pieces (I.E. crib, dresser, and change table), and if you still have enough room, you can then add more furniture such as a rocking chair, end table, etc.
Since most of the baby nursery decor accessories will be the focal point of your theme, it is a wise suggestion to keep furniture looking simple. Matching wood or white colored furniture goes with just about every theme.
Step 4 – Color your theme. Once you know where the furniture will go, the next step is your walls. You may opt for wallpaper in your theme, or you can paint your 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. You can apply paint to the walls in a solid color and then add a thematic wall paper border at the top or middle of the nursery. If you do not want to have a border, think about painting a few characters from your theme on the wall with the help of a stencil, paint your own motif free hand, or install a wall mural. Just make certain that any designs, artwork, or murals are placed on the wall in a manner that will not be blocked from view by furnishings.
Step 5 – Finish your theme. When the walls are taken care of, and the furniture has been moved in, finish off your theme with accessories. This includes floor art sculptures, stuffed toys, lamps, music box, baby mobile, area rug, nightlight, bedding, quilt, 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 the theme you decide for your baby nursery decor, make sure you don’t leave your decorating for the last minute. You don’t want to be putting together the nursery two months or less before your little one arrives.
