A Beatrix Potter nursery theme can feature all of the childhood favorite and familiar characters from the Beatrix Potter collection of books. Many different twists and turns can be taken in a nursery theme of this sort. After all, Beatrix, and her friend, Peter Rabbit, lived in the same woods but somehow Peter Rabbit manages to be a lot more flexible in what nursery color schemes he will take to with ease. A great nursery for a set of boy and girl twins is a combination Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit nursery theme!
Peter Rabbit murals for a Beatrix Pottery nursery theme wall are VERY POPULAR We should pay close attention to the fact that these two bunnies had very different tastes in decor! Beatrix Potter nursery bedding lends itself well to a baby girls Beatrix Potter nursery theme while Peter Rabbit hops into a baby boys nursery theme in style!
There are Beatrix Potter gift items, Beatrix Potter cribs, fabrics and Beatrix Potter nursery bedding and products galore available to complete your Beatrix Potter nursery theme. If you will notice they are all pictures taken from the pages of the storybooks! You can now cover your walls with a Peter Rabbit wallpaper mural and other cute bunny prints. Many of these beloved images have been enlarged so that you can now get Tale of Jeremy Fisher posters that look so cute in a themed room! Here's one of many unique nursery decorating ideas, take a picture from one of the story books, enlarge it and decoupage it onto the headboard of your baby's crib! Voila! A Beatrix Potter crib themed perfectly for your Beatrix Potter room and it's so cheap to make!
I would suggest a muted pastel wall as one of the many nursery painting ideas for your Beatrix Potter Nursery Theme softly tinted almost watercolor Beatrix Potter Wallpaper might just be too busy with all of the Beatrix Potter prints that you will employ.
If you choose a Beatrix Potter print fabric for the baby's crib bedding set, be very careful not to make too many other nursery accessories from this print as it will make the nursery very jumpy.
In addition to some framed Beatrix Potter artwork and perhaps some do it yourself wallhangings, get creative and do a few totally unexpected wall treatments in your Beatrix Potter nursery theme project. There are some really cute embellished Beatrix Potter Illuminated Alphabet and some large Garden Guinea Pig stickers that you can use for this project. Bring in some of Beatrix's friends, Jemima Puddleduck, the Mouse Family, Mr. McGregor and others to keep Beatrix and your baby company. Ducks, mice and bunnies are all themed accessories to keep in mind.
Accessories like a music box, a few stuffed animals, a Peter Rabbit lamp, a Beatrix Potter baby mobile for over the crib, or some bookends will not fight with the Beatrix Potter baby bedding and accessories. A few decorative items in your theme will go a long way.
You may find yourself with a world of Beatrix items after your baby shower. If this is the case, store some of your baby and bring them out and rearrange your baby's nursery using the gifts you had not seen for a while! After a month or so, they will totally refresh your memory of your baby shower and update your Beatrix Potter nursery theme as well!
