Designing Your Baby's Nursery Room

Unleash the child within you as you set about your nursery decorating endeavor. Nurseries evoke feelings of nostalgia and romance. They connect memories of the past with the hopeful joy for the future. Help your baby explore this brand new world she is in and revel in the wonder and awe of new discoveries.

Grappling with ideas of how to decorate your nursery? Nursery decorating ideas that are centered around childhood fantasies and fairy tales make a good starting point. Nursery themes can be as whimsical as you wish or they can be based on reality. Choose from Mother Goose, Walt Disney or Beatrix Potter or choose a nursery theme based on puppies, lambs, fish, ponies or chickens.

Walls, bedding and windows can be dressed with identical designs in complementary colors or they can sport different patterns in identical colors. Depending on your choice of color, fabric and design, a nursery can be timelessly traditional or it can be filled with exuberant romantic flair. Jazz up a solid backdrop with a stenciled or wallpaper border or perhaps a colorful mural. Whatever color, design or theme you go with remember to include loads of colored accessories in a variety of textures for baby to look, touch and learn.

Mother Goose Rhymes

Choose one character from one nursery rhyme or mix and match lots of different characters from several nursery rhymes; there are plenty of possibilities revolving around the Mother Goose theme. Use a faux finish to suggest white clouds in a blue sky. A gaggle of flying geese with one of them garbed as Mother Goose would add an inspired touch to any Mother Goose nursery. Sheets and curtains that go with this theme are easily available.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

Stars add sparkling magic to any nursery and look appealing in any nursery. Get lots and lots of stars and hang them or stick them all over to have a room that steeped in magic. Get star shaped rubber stamps and dip them into glow-in-the-dark paint. Dab the stamps all over the midnight-blue ceiling to create a starry sky that lights up at night or daub them all over the room to create a room full of stars that twinkle at night. Adorn furniture with star-shaped peel-off stickers. You can find plenty of options in wallpapers, fabrics, area rugs, bedding and curtains to complete the theme.

Butterflies & Bees; Flowers & Trees

Capture your little one's imagination in a garden filled with flowers and butterflies in vibrant colors. There are plenty of ways to incorporate this theme into the nursery. There's a lot to explore and discover in a picturesque garden mural filled with butterflies, bees and multi-colored flowers. Colorful stickers or small, painted butterflies and bees can be used to adorn picture frames, chair backs and headboards. Colorful butterfly mobiles hanging from the ceiling and fluttering gently in the soft breeze add enchanting appeal to any nursery. Butterfly clips along the curtain edges or perched on a lampshade or a picture frame add a delightful touch. Find a butterfly patterned kids area rug to finish off the look.

The bats of winter
They aren'ta common toy, nursery decor or fashion accessory. I don't believe any major sport teams are named after them. I don't know why because to peruse the Internet for even five clicks is to discover that bats are pretty popular.
