Whether you reside in the wilderness or just enjoy daydreams about days in the wild, we can't wait to give you some unique decorating ideas and resources for a rustic, cabin style nursery for your baby!
You might hesitate a moment to ponder whether this style of room might be a little dark and not stimulating enough for a baby, but there are ways to get around that. To lighten the nursery wall, hang some cartoon moose pictures along with some colorful homemade quilts. These funny moose pictures will entertain baby and the quilts will satisfy mom's sense of what the interior design of a log house should be! If the wooden walls are a golden color, a home made wreath made of pine cones and a set of pine cone print bedding would look really cool!
If your rustic cabin has less than perfect walls, the large hand quilted decorations that we suggested for the walls would stop the drafts and cover a lot of imperfections. I saw a beautiful moon and bear wall hanging in some rustic baby nursery themes recently. There was a silhouette of a bear beneath a creamy yellow crescent moon appliqued on a background fabric that blended with the crib bedding. Baby nursery themes with matching wallhangings and bedding are nice if the space is large enough.
Of course you may not want to cover imperfections in the wooden walls at all! Rough unfinished woods and natural finishes look great in cabin style bedroom decorating. The plaster chinking between the logs and the logs themselves give country style baby nursery themes such a cozy, charming personality.
If you are looking for baby nursery decorating ideas in chocolate brown and black, black bear paw prints and brown faux fur can get the job done! To lighten things up, some sky blues and greens can be brought in through accessories.
This outdoorsy decor allows you the chance to display your collection of vintage fishing lures or canoe paddles (out of your baby's reach, of course). Richly colored primitive baby quilts or blankets with bears, elks or moose woven into the fabric will give a cozy feeling of warmth on cool evenings. Add some rustic wood decorative switchplates to go with your lodge style lighting fixtures for added effect in your baby nursery themes!
Rough unfinished woods and natural finishes are the rule of the day for decor lodge style furniture in baby boy themes. This outdoorsy decor allows you the chance to develope baby nursery decorating ideas that will display your collection of vintage fishing lures, ski equipment or canoe paddles (out of your baby's reach, of course). There are even lines of moose baby furniture for your baby boy rustic theme! Richly colored wool blankets with bears, elks or moose woven into the fabric will give a cozy feeling of warmth on cool evenings. Large woven baskets filled with pine cones or kindling are great space fillers.
Snuggle by the fireplace and enjoy your rustic moose lodge decor! You can repeat the colors and patterns in the baby's bedding set, but cotton is a better choice for fabrics coming in contact with baby's sensitive skin.
There are several styles of crib bedding that are interchangeable with this nursery theme:
- Hunting and Fishing Baby Bedding Sets
- Camouflage Baby Bedding Sets
- Moose Baby Bedding
- Bear Baby Bedding
- Pine Cone Bedding
Baby's crib can be embellished with some rough logs in proper lengths of lodgepole pine carefully attached in such a way not to endanger any child. Baby nursery decorating ideas should always be used with caution. Baby nursery themes are to enjoy not to endanger so always use your own judgement in issues dealing with your child's safety. Wreaths made of natural greenery and decorations of pinecones will be beautiful on the nursery wall, but take care that no toxic plants are included.
For lighting, an excellent baby nursery decorating idea would be to make your own hunting lodge style nursery chandelier from naturally shed antlers that you have collected yourself in the forest. If you're not into do it yourself projects, find one that's ready made. If you have not had the proper training and education, it would be wise not to deal with wiring electrical fixtures. If you have a chandelier in place that you feel you must work with, it's easy to change the shades.
This is one of the very best backgrounds for Christmas decorating. With your pine cones, greenery and twinkle lights the bedroom is ready for the holidays! Magazines filled with pictures of rustic lodge decor ideas are readily available at any book store.
You can recreate the most generic fixture by the installation of rustic themed shades that feature the profiles of moose, grizzly bears, or pine cones for your baby nursery themes. If you have any extra camouflage hunting items lying about, these can be incorporated into your theme as a layer of added texture. Any outdoors enthusiast will welcome some Realtree or Mossy Oak print draperies, window shades and other functional indoor items in patterns that are traditionally used outdoors! If there is an adjoining bath, there are camouflage shower curtains, rugs and other items that can be used and displayed to compliment the bears and moose in your baby nursery theme.
For softness, throw some large plush bears and other stuffed animals in the corners. They'll be comfortable and right at home in the hunting and fishing lodge decor.
