How To Plan A Baby’s Nursery
The vast amount of baby’s nursery decor can be very overwhelming, particularly for new parents. There are many different bedding, furniture items, decorations wall art, etc. for you to consider. 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.
Even though a theme isn’t necessary for your baby’s nursery, it can be helpful when it comes to focusing and organizing 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 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. “Strawberry Shortcake”, “Minnie Mouse”, “Bob the Builder”, 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. farm animals, marine animals, birds, lady bugs, bumblebees, caterpillars, butterflies, etc.
• Teddy bears
• Clowns
• Balloons
• Flowers
• Sports
• Geometrical shapes
• Color
• Etc.
The list of motifs can be limitless. Therefore, it is a wise notion to pick something you love and want your baby to respond to. Find out how many different decor items are available to accentuate your theme by browsing both brick and mortar and online retailers.
Step 2 – Focus on the theme of the room. After you have chosen a motif for your baby’s room, you can then devote your energy to shaping the motif. 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 only mean taking the actual bug into consideration, but also its other characteristics such as its color. If you wish to focus solely on red lady bugs with black spots, then black spots and the color red should be a central part of the theme. Or, if you want to have an undersea motif, paint an underwater ocean mural on the wall and use tropical wall decor for a multi-dimensional appeal.
Step 3 – Furnish your theme. Once you have picked out a theme, you must then turn your efforts to furniture and furniture positioning. You need to decide what furniture is needed, and then set it up in the room to achieve the best and most convenient and unobstructed layout. Start with the essential pieces (I.E. changing table, dresser, and crib), and if you still have sufficient space, you can then add more furniture such as a rocking chair,an end table, 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. Coordinating wood or white colored furnishings goes with about every 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 wish to have a border, consider painting a few characters from your theme on the wall with the help of a stencil, paint your own design free hand, or install a wall mural. Just make certain that all designs, artwork, or murals are placed on the wall in a way that will not be blocked from view by furnishings.
Step 5 – Finish your theme. You can complete your theme with accessory items after the walls have been finished and the furniture has been positioned within 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 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.
