Nursery Decor Essentials
By Cora Lee
There are as many nursery themes as there are rhymes, fairy tales, and legends, providing tens of thousands of products to choose from to decorate a child’s room. Creativity, educational stimulus, and fun aplenty entertain the parents and engage the attention of the child. But, how do you tie all the wonderful colors, designs and themes together when there are so many nursery decor items to choose from? There are essential elements in the kids wall art, crib bedding, and lamps and lighting to look for that will make sure that the decor all flows together.
Kids Wall Art – Barren walls will not do in a child’s room – walls are an essential element in nursery decor so choose wisely from unique paintings fashioned on durable canvas that just wipe clean to make whimsical and dynamic canvas kids wall art and canvas murals. The tales they tell are themed include Circus Parade or World Map in storybook style. For the truly unique touch, personalize these beautiful pieces of kids wall art with your childs name. You can also begin baby’s alphabet lessons with elegant letters to hang as kids walls art, made from authentic, high-grade, painted wood and suspended from a ribbon to spell out your child’s name or, just as unique, you can decorate the walls with name plaques and tiles.
Personalized Childrens Growth Charts – Turn measuring baby and your young ones into a fun activity with light hearted and imaginative growth charts, which are also fine pieces of art, essential for any child’s room, so allow them to enhance the nursery decor. For a unique touch that also stimulates your child’s recognition of the alphabet and her name, personalize each of your childrens growth charts with their names.
Nursery Wall Clocks – Turn telling time into a play activity that also promotes the theme of the nursery. You can choose from all manner of designs like race cars that chase each other around the face of the clock, lions, tigers, and bears oh my, knights, rockets, bugs and dinosaurs – there is no end to the fun. Nursery clocks are often made from lighter and less breakable materials than regular clocks.
Childrens Rugs – Childrens rugs are the essential element of nursery decor that anchor the entire project into a pleasing design. They come in hundreds of playful, storytelling themes in lovely designs and shapes. Designer kids rugs that are made with a higher stitch count and quality material tend to be more durable and prevent the loosening of the weave of the rug. Wool is warm and inviting but can also stain more easily while nylon is stain resistant but not as cozy. Choose the rug that blends best with the decor of the nursery and the activity of the child.
Lamps and Lighting – Lamps and Lighting are another essential element in the nursery decor. Nursery lamps and lighting set the ambience. Stand alone lamps and lighting dark corners are practical finishing touches for awkward spaces where nothing else will fit. For the completely adorable and just too cute touch, add a childrens themed chandelier to the nursery for the ultimate in lamps and lighting to cast the magical spell that awakens the decor of the entire room.
Crib bedding – Crib bedding and crib liners are subtle reinforcements of the nursery decor. This is where baby is going to spend the majority of her time so it is important to maximize her comfort and maintain the essential flow of the decor with the style and quality of designer crib bedding. Avoid plastic liners which can get too hot in the summer months.
Shelves and Stands – Nursery storage shelves and bookcases provide the practical note in a well planned nursery. Rather than the traditional off-white or pastel book shelves, be creative and choose nursery shelves that are all the rage – shaped as fire stations or doll houses. Simpler but still enchanting, are wooden nursery shelves painted with teapots or race cars. Storage stands continue the essential theme of your nursery decor with designs such as a three tiered rotating circus and delightful book displays supported by Noah’s Ark or a Jungle Safari.
