Daring Innovations to Your Babys Nursery Theme
Decorating the baby's nursery with a theme is not a must, but it can make things easier once you have an idea about how you want your child's room to look. A nursery theme helps to save time and money, and simplifies the decorating process.
After you've selected what you want, you can easily match wall colors, furniture, window coverings, the crib and bedding, lamps, and other items with very little effort. Let's explore some possible baby nursery themes.
Baby Nursery Themes for Boys
Decorating the baby's nursery for a boy is easier now than ever with so many themes available for boys. Airplane themes are great because the airplanes can come in many "boy" colors such as red, blue, green, and yellow.
Airplanes are fun and your baby boy will likely love this design as a toddler too. There are airplane die cut rugs, airplane toy chests, airplane lamps, airplane bedding, and even airplane nursery chandeliers! Also, consider expanding to general transportation for some nursery décor products if you can't find an airplane idea for every item.
Another fun baby room theme that can be all-boy is the western nursery. Decorating western, you can find baby room items with horses, cowboys, cowboy hats and boots, lassos, wagons, horseshoes, and cactus plants.
Western baby rooms look great with cream-colored walls and lots of dark and light brown with hints of red and green. Also, rugged wood items such as dressers, the crib, tables, a wooden rocking chair, and an armoire go great with this selection Top it off with a western wall mural featuring a town from the Old West or a rodeo along with a western-theme wall border.
Mowgli? Nope, Your Baby!!
Jungle dwellings work great for boys' nurseries because of all the wild animals, trees, and others signs of nature. Boys like to explore and a jungle theme will usually last until kindergarten or beyond.
You might also consider decorating the baby's nursery (if a boy) with these schemes: Snoopy, frogs, farm themes, trains, sports themes, dinosaurs, fire trucks, reptiles, Dr. Seuss, circus, or puppies.
Decorating a Baby Nursery for a Girl
Girls are quite different than boys. The colors, textures, and furniture all have a softer look with pastels such as light pink, light yellow, or light cream colors.
Consider a Precious Moments theme with white, pink and yellow colors to match. Or, a girl's baby room looks great with angels, butterflies, princess themes, or bunnies. Add lots of frills and lace, and choose bedding to match this baby nursery theme. Paint the walls soft, light colors and use furnishings and themed paintings to decorate.
Add dolls, stuffed animals, and mini tea sets for that finishing touch! There are many Disney articles that work great for girls, so be sure to shop around before deciding on the decor.
For Boys or Girls
If you want to remain neutral with your baby nursery decor, choose neutral themes such as bumble bees, clouds, farm animals, gardens, teddy bears, or zoo animals. There are also many storybook or movie nursery themes that can work well for a boy or girl such as Tale of Peter Rabbit (Beatrix Potter crib bedding and other items), Winnie the Pooh, Care Bears, Finding Nemo, Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes, Little Bear, etc.
Whatever baby room theme you pick, be sure there are enough child-related items on the market to support it. You don't want to get stuck with only half of the items you need for your unique baby room decorating ideas or colours.
Search through local toddler stores and online to be sure enough items are available within your budget. With an out of the ordinary child decor theme, decorating the baby's nursery will be exciting for everyone; including your little one!!
