Fun Ideas Your
Baby will Love
by GranMamma
Decorating a nursery for your new baby can be a fun and
exciting experience. It will be the first place for your baby to dream,
to experience, and to grow. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Location. Calm surroundings are critical to a newborn's
development. Avoid room's that are close to a busy street, where there
could be more noise. Will the baby's room be on the same floor as your
bedroom ? This makes it more convenient to monitor your baby. However,
you can always opt for an audio or video monitor.
Time to decorate! Choosing a particular theme and design for your
baby room depends on how much you want to spend, how much space you
have, and whether it's a boy or a girl. To be safe, you can always go
for gender-neutral colors such as greens, purples, and reds.
Choosing a theme. Now it's time to let your imagination run wild.
To get some ideas, visit a few baby stores and check out different
styles. They may even have example rooms set up that you can check out.
Take a look at the following nursery themes to get a few ideas rolling.
Animals. This motif could include kittens, puppies, farm scenes,
or teddy bears. This is a common theme that can easily be found in
stores. You could purchase everything from the sheet and comforter set
to coordinating wall hangings and wall paper. Cartoon / TV Characters.
The options are numerous here. Winnie the Pooh, Spiderman, Aladdin,
Curious George, Bugs Bunny, Snoopy, and Peter Pan are just a few
examples.
Noah's Ark. This a popular theme with plenty of designs to choose
from. You can accessorize with animal pictures, a nursery lamp, bedding,
and even a rocking chair.
Dolphins or other underwater scenes. This theme will add a cool,
refreshing feeling to your new baby room. The cool colors will also be
comforting for you baby. For decorating, you could use sea-related wall
hangings, sea shells, a border with waves, or even sea horses.
Crayons. Remember how much fun crayons use to be. Introduce your
child to a new and creative world with this theme. You could use accents
in the shape of hand prints or stencil of your choice. Place these on
the walls, window frames, closet door, or even the lamp shade. Looking
for the perfect paint. Crayola has come out with paints with their
colors made specifically for the baby's room.
Whichever design you choose, use inexpensive stain-repellant area rugs
that can be easily replaced when you want to update the design. You'll
want a room that your child can grow into. The most important thing to
keep in mind with choosing a baby room theme is make sure that it is
safe and comfortable. From there, the possibilities are endless. Best of
