If you want your baby to have the most beautiful nursery in the world – but you don’t want to spend your life savings on an interior designer – Half Price Drapes has some ideas to get you started.
Include plenty of texture
There are a lot of things to focus on when decorating any room, including colors, materials, etc. Don’t get so caught up in those issues that you completely forget texture. Sure, fuzzy rugs are great for a nursery, but why not drape a beautiful canopy over the crib? Or add textured wallpaper?
Find the perfect lights
Adding a ceiling light you love can change the entire look and feel of your nursery. We suggest hanging pendants that will both brighten the room and help it feel more put together. In fact, when homeowners walk into a room and assume it’s been professionally designed, it’s often because it has professional-quality lighting.
Bring in pops of color
When designing a nursery, you want it to be a place of calm and relaxation. You want your child to fall gently into sleep – not be wide eyed, staring at all the color in a room. However, this doesn’t mean that the entire room has to be neutral. Bring in some brightly colored curtains, or find a dresser that’s painted a bright color to use as a changing table.
Look up before you’re done
Your baby is going to spend a lot of time lying on their back, staring at the ceiling for the first few months – or even years – of their life. Once again, you don’t want to put anything too exciting on the ceiling because it may keep them up at night. However, painting the ceiling a nice light blue with wispy clouds floating by is a great way to add detail and make the room even cozier.
Allow yourself a few sophisticated pieces
As your child gets older, they’re going to start designing and decorating their own room. While they’re little, you still get to call the shots. As a result, don’t be afraid to bring in a few sophisticated pieces to make the room as lovely to you as it is comforting to your child. For example, cordless honeycomb shades help you control light in the nursery, are extremely sophisticated, and are safe for use around babies.
