Nursery Design Elements
Who would not want to design a nursery for your new baby?! It is best to keep in mind that baby grows very quickly so keeping to a design that will easily "grow" with them is important. Your baby will not notice or care what the room looks like, but you as the parent, will be the one spending a lot of time in the room so be sure to make it a space you are going to enjoy being in. Also, style babies room the same as the rest of your house, just "baby" it up a bit.
When it comes to color and décor, let's think outside the box. Instead of going with sweet pastels and stuffies, find a wallpaper, a fabric or even a crib sheet with a beautiful rich design and build around that.
As tempting as it is, do not go overboard with a theme. A room is much more interesting when there is a variety of elements for the eye to land on instead of everything being based on baby animals, cartoon characters, and so on.
With the exception of a crib and maybe a changing table, I do not recommend buying "baby" furniture. Choose well built, sturdy pieces that will last baby for years to come.
You might want to consider a black-out curtain so that baby can sleep well. Choose a fabric that goes well with your wall color and is not a high contrast.
Nurseries tend to be smaller rooms, so you do not want to cram them full of too much stuff. Try to focus on key pieces, such as the crib, changing table, rocker or glider and maybe a dimmable lamp.
