Decorating a nursery is an exciting time in your life as you wait for your new addition to your NYC family. Before heading out to shop, take pleasure in researching decor ideas to plan out your home‘s dream nursery. There are many more options beyond pink for girls and blue for boys. When decorating a nursery, step outside of the norm for a unique place for baby to grow in.
Grow Up the Nursery Decor
Let the nursery grow up with your baby. Babies grow very quickly and before you know it, you will have a toddler. Keep this in mind when planning the nursery decor. Cute little teddies might look great adorning a wall for the baby, but you will then find yourself redecorating very quickly as your child grows and starts speaking for his or herself. When decorating a nursery make the decor fun but not babyish, so that you can transform it as your child grows. This way you probably will be able to hold off until middle school to redecorate beyond exchanging a crib for a bed.
Add Wall Interest
Skip the pink and blue and use some creativity with paint instead. An orangey, coral-type pink can work for boys as well, and blues come in so many hues that they can work beautifully for any nursery. Consider painting the room in a more neutral taupe color with one accent wall in a more lively color. Add geometric interest on the wall by painting overlapping squares and circles of different colors or get really creative painting a wall in a plaid pattern.
Simple Windows
Babies need to nap and parents crave quiet time. The windows should reflect this. Don’t place long curtains on the windows for babies to grab on and to gather dust. Black-out Roman shades will keep the sunlight out, look beautiful, and can be easily vacuumed. For safety precautions make sure any cords are not within reach of toddlers. If you want, place a valance as a window topper to add a pop to the decor.
