Nursery Decorating Ideas: Creating a Timeless Retreat.
by: Suzanne Brown
Decorating a baby room is a wonderful opportunity to create a carefree
hideaway - a place of slumber and lullabies.
BABY ROOM THEMES…
From Tropical Jungle to Noah's Ark, Teddy Bears to Winnie the Pooh: There are
many delightful baby room themes to choose from - any one will spark enthusiasm
and generate exciting nursery decorating ideas.
But decorating the baby room can be daunting: There's so much choice -
nursery bedding sets, furnishings, nursery wall décor and accessories of all
kinds! Also young children can soon outgrow even the most enchanting baby room
themes.
NURSERY DÉCOR…
Co-ordinated nursery bedding sets and matching accessories can make easy work
of decorating a baby room, ensuring nursery décor is effective and harmonious.
But mixing and matching presents the opportunity for more imaginative nursery
decorating ideas - and it's fun! The key to success with 'mix and match' nursery
décor is to select elements - baby nursery pictures, fabrics and accessories -
that share color and pattern elements.
Basing nursery décor on neutral wall and floor coverings enables endless
variations: Keeping baby room decorating ideas flexible makes it easy to adapt
to a young child's developing interests.
By changing just the accessories - nursery bedding sets, pictures and rugs -
different nursery decorating ideas can be developed without all the upheaval of
a major redecorating project. For a while, at least, baby room themes can grow
with your child!
COLOR SCHEMES…
Young children love bright primary colors but large areas can be
overwhelming. Decorating the baby room with a subtle, calm color scheme is
usually a better choice. Introducing warm colors - rose, peach or primrose -
into your baby room decorating ideas will help create a feeling of coziness.
While decorating the baby room with the cool colors - aqua, mint or sky blue
- can create a feeling of spaciousness. But it is probably best to keep ideas
based on this color range for a room with a warm, sunny aspect.
Touches of bright primary colors bring extra interest and visual stimulation.
Introducing just small amounts with baby nursery pictures, nursery bedding sets,
toys and accessories can transform a room. These are the finishing touches that
can bring nursery décor alive!
NURSERY WALL DÉCOR…
From a series of framed art prints to big cheerful posters, a collage of
birthday cards to giant stick-ups - nursery wall décor can create an interesting
focus and highlight of color.
A special picture may provide inspiration for some great baby nursery ideas
and the basis for a subtle color scheme.
Pictures can be used to develop baby room themes, giving them added
dimension: Baby nursery pictures of animals can extend a Tropical Jungle theme -
Paddington Bear pictures a Teddy Bear theme.
Look for baby nursery pictures that you find inspiring - they can be a
valuable source for interesting nursery decorating ideas. But, best of all, good
nursery wall décor will help to create a special place that excites whimsical
fantasy and imaginative storytelling - the essence of a magical childhood!
