Ideas for Decorating a Baby Nursery


Color Scheme

Pastels and white are the color schemes used in a classic nursery. Pastel shades of pink or orange for baby girls, and powder blue for boys is a commonly used color scheme. However, according to latest trends, brighter and unusual color shades are used to decorate walls of the nursery. Bright green, yellow, or orange will help in creating a lively look for the baby nursery.
Furniture

If you have decided a theme for the nursery, you can look for the furniture accordingly. Custom-made furniture (related to the theme) can be a good, but, expensive option. Secondly, placement of the furniture is also important. Make sure the crib, the dresser, and the chair are placed in comfortable positions, as these will have the maximum traffic flow in the room.
Accessories

Baby cribs in attractive colors with brightly colored linen are available. You should look for linen and crib that can be easily cleaned. It is advisable to look out for cotton or organic mattresses for baby bedding. Make sure that the mattress is soft, but firm, such that it does not change its shape. On the other hand, there should be enough space to store baby clothes, accessories, toys. Open shelves can be used to store towels, diapers, soft toys, riding toys, musical toys, etc.
Lighting

The baby nursery should have as much as natural light as possible. Arrange window drapes such that natural light flows through it. For lighting, you can look for softer lights. Heavy lighting will not be required if the room has bright wall colors.
