Decorating a Nursery for your Baby

Congratulations on your newly conceived or newborn bundle of joy! Decorating a nursery for your baby is a fun and exciting time, but it requires important consideration and detail. After all, it is one of the very first places for your baby to dream, grow, and learn.

The first step and perhaps the most fun decision of all is choosing the baby bedding. For most parents the baby bedding is often the focal point of the nursery. There are themed and non-themed bedding choices. Themed bedding ideas include those such as Country Baby, Ocean Baby, Retro Cowboy Baby, or Airplane Baby Bedding. Non-themed bedding choices include Polka Dots, Gingham, Stripes, Plaid, Toile, Floral and any combination of these patterns.

There are also a wide variety of color choices and harmonies. Do you know the gender of your child? Some fitting color choices for girls may include yellows, greens, pinks, lavenders, camels and blues. Suitable colors for boys include blues, greens, reds, yellows and browns. If you want to be surprised by the gender of your baby, use a gender neutral baby bedding set like Lil’ Dreamer which incorporates pastel greens and creams.

The next step is to search for furniture. There are lots of colors, styles, and finishes available. All of this can make the process overwhelming, but you will find that as you continue to shop you will be drawn to a particular style of bed or finish of wood. Since you have already picked out the baby bedding, you can narrow your furniture choices down by the bedding that you have chosen. The deep, richer and lighter pastel bedding looks great with cherry, mahogany and cognac wood finishes. While the bright, medium-toned, and also pastel fabrics match nicely with the white and lighter wood finishes. Almost any of the bedding fabrics described above also look great with honey colored finishes which can be considered a neutral finish. When you finish picking out the crib don’t forget to purchase a crib mattress. Note, that most crib mattresses are one standard size.

Now that you know the color and style of your bedding and furniture you can decide on paint colors and wall décor. The paint color choice should compliment the bedding and furniture that you have chosen. A wall border can highlight the theme you have chosen for your nursery. If you can’t afford an expensive mural painted by an artist wallies are a fun way to create your very own mural in minutes! Personalize you baby’s room with hanging wooden wall letters, a personalized clock, or personalized wall art. These things can all add an element of uniqueness to your baby’s nursery.

Additional accessories such as rugs, window treatments, photo frames, and framed art can help tie in your bedding, furniture, and color choices to complete a décor theme for your baby’s nursery.
Storage, storage, and more storage. Babies have lots of infant essentials such as diapers, wash clothes, lotions, and other products. Let’s not forget all those adorable clothes and toys you will receive from your family and friends. Storage bins, toy chests, and storage shelves can tie nicely into your theme and keep baby’s things neat, tidy, and clean.

Your dream baby nursery can easily be yours with a little consideration for practicality and attention to detail.
