There are several options open when decorating a baby girl nursery. One of the most common ways to get ideas for a girl nursery is to choose one of the popular girl nursery themes and then start to build a collection of items focusing on a style of decor that complements your favorite theme. Another approach in decorating a modern girl nursery has less to do with a theme and more to do with color.. and LOTS of it! There are pros and cons to each method and before you start shopping, here are a few tips on how to decorate a girl’s nursery.

BABY GIRL NURSERY THEMES Some claim that it easier to keep their girl nursery ideas organized when taking a themed approach to decorating their baby girl’s room. Fans of nursery themes appreciate having a compass of sorts that keeps them pointed in the right direction. When wondering whether or not to indulge an impulse and buy something for the room that wasn't already on their baby girl nursery checklist, their theme's inspiration piece is a reminder that every yard of fabric, every nursery decoration and each piece of furniture has to blend in order to reach the ultimate goal.

Others struggle with this concept or even fail due to a lack of knowing when "enough is enough". To give you an example, I have been hired to sort out baby girl nurseries decorated with huge collections of Beatrix Potter figurines or so many ballerina theme decorations that my first impression of the room was that it was filled with clutter. There was no focal point; everything was a mishmash of dust catchers. In one case, the mom realized that the design had become unmanageable and out of control and that at some point things had just gone terribly wrong but she just didn’t know where. Everything that she had bought was in her theme, after all! The lesson learned here is that a little goes a long way.
Baby Girl Modern Nursery Ideas
BABY GIRL NURSERY IDEAS - NEW COLORS When decorating girls’ nurseries, there will always be a place for feminine pink baby bedding and complementary pastel colors. However, in modern nursery design you will find as many or more lime green and pink or hot pink and black nurseries as frilly, girly pink and white nurseries. Earth tones have also edged their way into baby girls’ rooms. In fact, pink and brown has been one of the standouts in crib bedding sales in recent years.
GIRL NURSERY DECORATING TRENDS Gray has become the new neutral in baby girls’ rooms. This tickles me to no end since purple and gray as well as pink and gray are two of my all time favorite color combinations. Wall paint color ranging from charcoal gray that is just a smidge away from being labeled basic black to the most delicate shade of dove gray are popping up in nurseries for girls often enough that I feel comfortable about not only calling it a “trend” but making the prediction that we can expect some adorable baby girl nursery ideas to come from it.
What I love about modern baby girl nursery ideas is freedom! Shout it out loud; we have the freedom to decorate nurseries for baby girls however we want. Skip the lace, ruffles and pink altogether or do something really bold with your baby girl's nursery walls; it’s your little girl's room and for the time being, you're the boss! And that’s part of what makes decorating a nursery for a baby girl so much fun!
