When it is time to get busy preparing the nursery, the first temptation is to choose the nursery decor items first. We all have favorite decorating items. However, if you do not have a theme chosen, then it is easy to end up with a hodgepodge of items. You want your baby’s room to be a welcoming, coordinated room filled with carefully chosen items that adorn the walls and can be used for storage. The rule of thumb is to choose the nursery theme first before doing anything else, including choosing the paint colors or buying nursery artwork.
Planning for the arrival of a baby is exciting, but there is also a lot of advance preparation needed. Choosing a nursery theme will get the room decorating project started. Once you know the theme, the rest of the decor will naturally follow. For example, if you choose a jungle theme, then you may want to buy items with animal prints and paint the walls a light green. If you choose a garden theme, the room may be filled with items like an embroidered birth announcement with butterflies and flowers.
Think About Your Favorite Things
The first problem is actually choosing a nursery theme. There are so many different nursery decor styles to choose among that it can be difficult settling on one. A good place to start is by making a list of your favorite styles or hobbies. For example, you may enjoy going to the circus, gardening, traveling, listening to music, and so on. Each one of these activities would make a wonderful nursery theme.
Another method parents use to choose a nursery theme is browsing decorating magazines or online home decorating sites. You can visit the online or local home remodel stores and get some good ideas also. In other words, spend some time considering options and then choose your top two themes.
Once you have a theme chosen, browse the various nursery decor items that are available. You are going to spot items that help you decide which nursery theme is best. For example, there may be a toy box with a sports theme that you fall in love with that is designed for storage in a boy’s room. Perhaps a pink princess chair or jewelry chest catches your eye. While browsing picture frames, you may see a child’s chair with an animal theme, garden theme, or safari theme.
Zebras and Princesses
Once you spot s few items, the right theme will become much more apparent. After falling in love with an adorable animal stool with a coat rack that looks like a zebra or giraffe or a princess and frog coat tree, you will know the direction the theme should take. After settling on the theme, the fun really starts because you can start decorating in earnest.
Choosing a nursery decor is a big decision because the nursery is a baby’s first home and a place where the infant will spend a lot of time. It is natural to want the nursery to be perfect. By browsing for ideas, one thing can be said with certainty: You will know the right theme when it appears.
