Baby stencils may be least expensive way to decorate the baby's nursery walls! I know that you are busy as can be, but please consider that the amount of time and paint involved will be minimal and the decorative rewards are great! Even the large stencils that create complete wall murals move along at a fast pace.
CREATIVE CONTROL
Coordination with the rest of the decorative elements in the bedroom is virtually guaranteed with custom nursery stencils because you have complete artistic control in regard to color matching and design selection. Our cute baby stencil ideas will encourage you to run to your local craft store to buy a stencil brush, some plastic stencil sheets and some paint to get started on your custom stencil designs.
MAKE YOUR OWN
It's so easy to draw your own stencil patterns and you will be amazed at the decorative impact on your child's bedroom wall decor. Enlarge some baby clipart patterns and play with them to see how they would look in place of a wallpaper border.
EXPERIMENTATION and CREATIVITY
If baby rattle stencils or pink and blue pacifiers are what you need for the painted border of your dreams, you won't have any trouble finding patterns. But don't forego experimenting with designs that have been traditionally used in other parts of the home like a damask stencil which would look super on an elegant baby girl's nursery wall.
THEMES
Most stencil patterns for boys and girls directly correspond to particular nursery themes that are carried over to the baby’s crib bedding set and other nursery decorations.
STENCILS FOR BABY BOYS
Baby boy nurseries often are stenciled with:
STENCILS FOR GIRLS
Baby Stencils for girls reflect a more feminine take on nursery designs such as:
Flower Stencils
Ladybug and Dragonfly Stencils
Pretty Pink Princess Stencils
Daisy Stencils
GENDER NEUTRAL STENCILING IDEAS
Gender neutral baby stencils that you might want to think about would be cloud stencils so that you can easily scatter some fluffy, white clouds across the nursery walls. I’ve seen a really cute mini mural over the head of the baby’s crib of bunny rabbits, lambs or sheep jumping over a fence that drew visitor’s attention to the baby’s bed as the primary focal point of the room.
You can pick up free printable baby feet and hand pictures, graphics and images that you download online. If you’re creative you can draw your own designs and make your own baby nursery stencils in whichever motifs that will work for your decorating project.
WALL NAMES and LETTERS
You don’t have to use baby stencils that reflect any particular nursery theme if that’s not your style. Letter stencils that spell your child’s name or patterns of elegant monograms are a tasteful way to personalize and decorate the nursery walls. If you carefully choose lettering, fonts and paint colors you may not have to change your nursery wall decorations for many years. Save your baby stencils and you can reuse them over and over to freshen up your walls every time you have a bedroom or nursery makeover.
