Decorating A Nursery On A Budget

If you're like most expecting mothers, you've probably got a couple of months until the baby arrives, but you haven't started decorating the nursery yet. Maybe you've got a few good ideas, or themes in mind, but no idea how to move forward. It may even be that due to the economic circumstances we live in, money could also be an issue. Whether you're struggling for ideas, or working on a tight budget, wall decals and vinyl lettering are great options for creating a unique and creative nursery.



When planning your nursery room decor, generally you'll want to start with a central theme. It could be nursery rhymes, jungles, farm animals, or a princess theme. Whatever your theme may be, you want to start by creating your palette by painting the walls in a color that matches the theme you've chosen. If you're a renter, don't despair, you can leave the walls as they are, and simply choose vinyl lettering colors to match your theme. Once your walls are the color you want, you can proceed by choosing some figurines, toys, and the bedding to match the theme. At this point, you may think that the room is almost complete, but there are many more things you can do inexpensively to kick it up a notch.

One way to take your nursery room design to the next level is by utilizing some vinyl graphics and letters. This could include a variety of graphics like animals, cars, shapes, polka dots, stars, etc. The great thing about using vinyl lettering for some wall lettering or graphics is that they are fully customizable. You choose the size, graphic, color, etc. Adding cute little vinyl graphics to match your theme is a quick way to add some personality to the walls of the nursery without breaking your budget.

There are some great ideas for nursery rooms using vinyl graphics. These include a variety of lovable animals that can be purchased in coordinating colors and multiple sizes. Some vinyl companies give you the option to choose to have these animals done facing the opposite direction. With this, you can have an assortment of vinyl wall animals jumping all around your new baby's room and it won't break your decor budget.



Another creative way to add some charm to the walls of the nursery is by adding alphabet letters, and numbers. Because your child will spend a good amount of time in his or her room over the next months and years, the alphabet and numbers not only beautify the room, but are functional as well. Gazing at the letters and numbers will give your child a jump start when it comes to learning to count and read.

Another great component of a nursery should be some lettering, to include a favorite quote, children's song, or nursery rhyme. You could even chose to add a monogram with your child's initials above the head of their crib. Many vinyl lettering companies out there, including Wall Stamps Company, let you buy vinyl lettering kits. You can get kits for Princess themes, Soccer, Farm Animals, etc. These kits are inexpensive, easy to apply, and will go a long way to helping you create the personalized décor your nursery deserves.



You can choose to make your baby's room as fancy, fun, elegant, or chic as you'd like. Just keep in mind that the vinyl wall lettering and graphics aren't permanent, so it's simple to remove them when you move, or when the child outgrows the theme, or when you want to redecorate. The graphics and lettering are inexpensive enough that you can change them frequently without breaking the bank.
