There are so many different nursery decor ideas to consider when beginning your baby’s nursery. Let’s focus here on your wall treatment and decoration. I am not a fan of wallpaper and would instead suggest various paint techniques.
1. Words, Words, Words. There are many fantastic quotes and printed words to apply directly to the nursery’s walls. If you are feeling thrifty and adventurous, use a transparent sheet to print your favorite inspiring quote or word collection. Simply select your favorite font, then using a projector – simply display your quote on the wall, ready to trace and paint!
2. Family Wall. Paint walls your favorite soothing color and then create an entire wall of various family members. Select photo frames that offer either a uniform look (i.e. all black square, all silver, all gold, etc.) or select a varied and quirky collection of frames. Put photos of family members and dear friends inside and arrange photos in a collage format on the wall. Whenever your kid spends time in his/her room, they will be surrounded by the faces of those that love them the most!
3. Bold is beautiful. Whether you select bright paint or muted paint, see your painting options at a different angle. Start at the bottom corner of one wall and paint a solid color in a diagonal line up to the opposite corner, near the ceiling. Create diagonal lines throughout the nursery.
4. Stripes without the fuss. Select your paint color and buy half of the required paint in a high gloss finish, the other half in a flat finish. Using painter’s tape, mark off your stripes (in the width you prefer). Starting with the flat finish paint, create an every-other stripe pattern. When dry, remove tape and repeat process with the high gloss paint, finishing all stripes. What a simple, fast and easy way to create a striped illusion without confusing too many colors in the nursery!
