Nursery Decor Ideas

Coming up with nursery decor ideas can take several days, weeks, and even months. You want your baby's nursery to be perfect, but how do you know what themes and decorations to choose? We're here to help at LoveToKnowBaby!

Choosing the nursery decor for your baby's nursery can be a bit overwhelming. Sometimes the easiest way to get started is to create an idea folder. In this folder you'll place pictures of nurseries from magazines and the Web, fabric samples, furniture and bedding ads, and even sketches and descriptions of your own ideas. You can also add the names and phone numbers of favorite paint stores, fabric stores, local decorators, baby department stores, and even the numbers of commissioned artists if you want a nursery mural.

It's always a good idea to create a budget, so go ahead and place that in your nursery idea folder. Decide how much money you want to spend on the following items (of course you may want to add to this list):

• Paint
• Furniture
• Bedding
• Accessories
• Decorations
• Curtains

Once you've created your nursery idea folder, you can start narrowing down your favorite choices. You'll probably continue to add to the folder, and you'll also throw away ideas as you pick, choose, and eliminate. Eventually, you'll discover which patterns, colors, and fabrics that you like the best. Now, you're ready to pick your theme.

Keep in mind the following points as you narrow down the theme for your child's nursery:

• If you don't know the gender of your child, you'll want to make sure your nursery works for a boy or a girl.
• You might want to use colors that can be incorporated into an older child's room as your baby grows into a toddler and eventually enters elementary school.
• If you do choose to add a mural to the walls, you do have the option of ordering a removable one.

Choosing a nursery decor for your child is a very personal choice. Check out the following ideas for some inspiration:
