Decorating Boy's Nursery
A baby boy's nursery is always carefully designed by doting parents anticipating his home coming after his birth. They anxiously pore over conceivable themes and paint choices, and even the color of the natural fiber Flokati rugs he will first crawl upon in the rest of the house. With a little forethought they can not only provide the perfect furnishings for anew born, but ones that can grow with the baby into school age with very few changes.
Furnishings
Convertible cribs are offered in a variety of choices that can go all the way up to full bed size. They come in styles that can fit any chosen theme for your new son's room. Changing can convert into full size chest of drawers with space on top for a toy car collection as he outgrows the need of a changing table. Prams and carriers are available for use from newborn to pre-school, so when one is purchased be sure you look for one that offers that capability.Add a small table and create a table setting with his favorite characters. For Christmas create a Christmas table setting, and then change it for the other holidays or seasons.

Walls and Floors and Closets
Painting the walls in neutral colors and themes that can change with the baby will prevent the need for removing "baby" themes when he decides he is a "big boy". Since he will need them later on, go ahead and bring in that can provide a place to sit or stand on for an older child. Green rugs in front of the dresser, and even brown rugs beside the crib, can tie in with the neutral color theme, and be bright and colorful for visual stimulation. Use shapes to provide depth; shelves that are inset triangles, squares, and circles can be a place for baby items and later places to store boyhood treasures. When painted in bold colors they provide a learning stimulus for young minds. Many toy boxes can be converted into storage chest for older children, and provide a place to keep keepsakes of childhood, place blue rugs in front of the toy box and he will have a place to kneel and play in comfort.. The closet can be converted with lower shelves and rods for small hands to put away their own clothes, and moved up as they grow.
Age Appropriate Decor
When it comes to age appropriate décor, using larger than life stick on decals, can allow a Winnie the Pooh room to become one occupied by Transformers, or even Superman as your son ages. A nightlight that has a baby motif can have a change of lampshade with a few dollars spent, and become the light source for his first adventure with Jules Verne, Beatrice Potter or even Harry Potter! Dual comforters have character prints on one side and solid colors on the other, perfect for a young fellow who has outgrown seeing Winnie every day and wants a change.Decorating a convertible nursery is very easy and cost effective when you look at the money that will be saved later on in time. Your young mans nursery will grow and change as he does, and you have the pleasure of watching every moment, and the moments you will treasure as you watch him sleep.
