Choosing the right baby nursery decor will create an environment that reflects your personal taste.
When the stork delivers your little bundle of joy, all will be in order for the new arrival.
Whether that delivery is a baby boy or baby girl, you can create a safe and nurturing environment that will be a practical and pleasant nursery for baby's care.
The first most important consideration and one never to ignore in the nursery is safety.
All furniture should pass the safety tests for age appropriate furnishings.
Any decor that is hung from the ceiling or attached to the wall must be fully secured.
All electrical devices that are plugged into outlets should be checked for safety as well.
Once the safety issues are in order, the fun and creative part of designing the baby nursery can begin.
Wall color generally will set the tone for the room.
The classic is pink for girls and blue for boys, however, you may wish to make your impact with a different color.
Colors tend to influence people in subtle ways and you should keep this in mind.
For example, the color green is neutral and tends to create a stable and calm feeling.
Staying with light shades, no mater what the color is best for a nursery.
Window coverings can blend, compliment or accent the wall color and should be functional.
There should be carpeting next to the bed or crib as well as the changing table to provide for a soft landing should baby tumble.
Throw rugs can be used to compliment the nursery's color pallet and character.
Theme nurseries include pictures, wall hangings, lampshades, throw rugs, bedding materials and drapes.
Cinderella is a theme for your tiny princess or chooses a sports theme for your little slugger.
Make the nursery interesting with various shapes, sizes and colors of decor, but do not clutter.
Different textures are important to consider creating visual interest such as smooth things and fluffy things.
Shelving is an excellent way to display decorator items and create visual depth.
The use of mirrors in a nursery should be carefully placed to avoid any bothersome reflections.
Baby nursery decor should set the stage for shaping your little star or starlet's outlook on the world.
It should convey a sense of safety, security and happiness in their nursery.
The nursery decor can stimulate your baby's imagination and actually promote healthy development.
Choose the decor that you believe will inspire your baby to become all he or she might be some day.
