Unicorns, dinosaurs, and jungle creatures, oh my! You can let your creativity shine when decorating your children’s bedrooms, whether you’re expecting or have a toddler who’s ready for a big-kid bed. Read on for some cute nursery ideas and tips on how to perfect your kid’s room decor.
Choose a Cute Theme
Picking a theme is an important first step when choosing decor for any room in your home—from nursery to playroom. It creates a cohesive look and gives friends and family great gift ideas that match your child's decor.
Pick the Perfect Color Palette
When designing a nursery room, many parents go for soft, muted colors that create a calm and soothing environment for naps. However, when designing a room for toddlers or older kids, you might want to explore bright and fun colors. When you land on a color scheme, select kids’ room curtains that complement it. If you're decorating a playroom, don't be afraid to go for curtains with bold patterns and whimsical prints. To complete the look, add some nursery wall decor and nursery shelf decor to match.
Enhance the Room with Furniture
As you’re preparing for a new baby, it's important to have some essential nursery furniture. A crib, a diaper changing station, a dresser, and a chair are the key pieces you'll need. You'll also want to have plush nursery rugs for when your baby is playing on the floor. Before your newborn arrives, make sure every room in your home is baby-proofed, and add a baby monitor for safety.
Add the Finishing Touches
Once the kids' and baby essentials are covered, you can personalize their room with special touches like family photos and thoughtful art. Baby gear is another crucial component, as you’ll want to have everything they need for at home or on the go.
