A Few Essentials for Decorating a Baby Nursery

 

You're expecting a child, and you're scrambling to find the time and funds to decorate a nursery. However,  before you go crazy with your credit cards, there are a few things you can think about when decorating a baby nursery before moving on to more elaborate designs and tactics.

To stop having to redecorate in a year or two, consider the following decorating elements:

1)      A Color Scheme That Is Appealing  

When it comes to decorating a baby nursery, this should be your first priority. Pale yellows, lilacs, or cream colors work well as a foundation for both boys and girls, infants and toddlers.

If you're set on pinks and blues, you can make the look more versatile by keeping the colors light and incorporating accent colors in vibrant primary colors.

You'll find a wide variety of stick-on borders that are simple to remove and replace as your child grows. Look for blues, yellows, lavender, sage, or grass greens in your borders. Then match your baby linens, lamps, curtains, mobiles, and dressers to the border colors. You can use one of the border colors to paint a current dresser, then quickly repaint it when your child decides on a favorite color. Dresses may also be embellished with stickers or hand-painted designs on wood.

2)      A Sturdy Rocking Chair

A rocking chair is an utter necessity when it comes to decorating a baby nursery. As your baby eventually falls asleep in your arms, you'll find this object to be a lifesaver. If the rocker is sufficiently comfortable, you can even drift off.

Create or buy comfortable, deep seat cushions and back pillows in one of the colors on the border of the walls. For the seat cushion, use a print fabric with an accent color, and blue or lavender solid fabrics for the back rest pillows.

3)      A Crib of Superior Quality

The crib is the most important thing to consider when decorating a baby nursery. Don't scrimp on this piece because of a tight budget. The crib should be of the highest possible quality and certified healthy for children.

  

Cribs are available in a variety of types, colors, and materials. Remember that you don't have to fit your crib to the rest of your furniture. With a pale pine or oak dresser, you can always have a tidy white crib. To create the most adaptable plan for decorating a baby nursery, combine plastics and woods, patterns and solids. 

  4)      Assorted Linens

When decorating a baby nursery, use your baby linens to change the look of the bed. Sew or buy a few washable duvets so you can switch them out often and easily. Stock up on plain white fitted crib sheets for when you know you'll be throwing them away. It's preferable to throwing away a lovely, patterned sheet that coordinates with many nursery elements.

These are the essentials for starting to decorate a baby nursery. You can move on to the fun, incredibly cute design elements available for decorating baby nurseries once you've decided on a color scheme and simple furnishings.
