subject: The Best Way To Creatively Decorate A Nursery [print this page] You are about to welcome a new family member into your life! You are geared up to give them the best that life has to offer. You obviously want your little one to be happy and healthy but sometimes you just want to splurge a little because you're so excited. Many parents look forward to putting together their new arrival's room. Here are the top tips to get that done well, and for less.
The easiest way to get started is by choosing a theme for the room. Characters are popular options for themes. Biblical figures and stories are certainly another option. You absolutely cannot go wrong when you choose an animal like Monkeys, however!
After you've chosen the theme, it's time to decide what work you want to put into the room. Some families may have a long way to go before the room can be considered ready. There are other families who will have less work to put in in order to get the room prepare. Think about what your starting point will be and you can move on from there.
It's fun to get started after you've done all of that! You get to gather your decorating materials and get started. Making the room "your own" is important to many people. It also has to be functional. The focal point will likely be the crib. Everything else just starts to come together once you have that picked out.
Of course, you can't have a crib without baby bedding. This will help to ensure that the whole room looks nice! Monkey crib bedding is a great choice, for instance. The majority of the bedding set will be used as decor, since only a fitted sheet can be kept in the baby's bed for safety reasons. You've got to hang the quilt or blanket on the wall -- which is a great decorating tip but also a safety tip.
Once the bedding has been taken care of, you can focus on other decor as well. Stuffed animals, toys, pictures, and more are great decorating ideas. A glider rocker is a must! A great bookshelf is a nice idea because you can keep wonderful books in there for the baby and you to read together.
You have put a lot of effort into making this room perfect for the baby. Nothing prepares you for the arrival of your baby quite like setting their room up in a beautiful way.
