You will find lots of Noahs Ark nursery wall decorating ideas and techniques on this page. Once you get the wallpaper border hung, we will tell you how to fill in those empty spaces with cute Noah's Ark baby stuff.
Noah's Ark wall decor has never been easier to design. The baby stores are even more crowded than the animals that sailed on the ark with cool wall decorations for your to pick from. Start small and keep things simple with wall hangings, personalized banners, plaques or Noah's Ark theme birth announcements or go all out and cover an entire wall with a wallpaper mural.
Classic Noahs Ark Nursery Wall Decoration can be as simple as pictures of Noah leading pairs of wild zoo animals onto the ark. Finding Noah's Ark baby stuff is much more easy than picking out baby bedding and curtains but before you consider your Noahs Ark Nursery Wall decorating techniques to be a success, here are a few stylish ideas.
Noahs Ark Wall Painting Ideas
Choose a Noah's Ark fabric that you like, buy a quarter yard and take it to the paint store with you to buy your wall paint. If you can find a wall shade that will work with the coloring
found in the fabric, your background is set! If not, choose another fabric color or design.
Sometimes the fabric design is great, but what goes with the colors in it just doesn't make
us that happy or doesn't blend with our other Noah's Ark nursery wall baby theme decorations.
The best decorating rule of thumb: Find a fabric pattern or design that you really love and take a good look at the background color. That is probably the color that your Noahs Ark nursery wall should be painted. The color at first glance might seem bland and neutral, but you will be adding colorful accessories over the neutral background.
An understated wall paint color is a good way for your Noahs Ark nursery wall pictures, stickers, stencils,
graphics or mural to stand out in the baby's room.
Noahs Ark Nursery Wall Techniques Here's an idea or technique that will work for any
nursery decor. Your fabric store will often put baby nursery print fabric remnants
in the discount bin. Check them out and see if any have a Noah's Ark or graphics with appropriate farm or zoo
animals that would've been passengers on the Noah's Ark. Leaving a slight allowance, cut the animals out of
your fabric, careful that you have two of each. Using starch liquid or spray starch,
stick them to the nursery walls! The starch makes them easier to remove than if you had used a
wallpaper border paste. Cotton fabrics may shrink a little.
Use your chose print to make a custom design appliqued pillow. Just cut out one of the pictures and stitch it onto your fabric using applique sewing techniques. The only additional supplies needed would be fabric panels for the background, a needle, thread and your printed fabric picture. Simple as pie!
If you have some of the pre-printed fabric panels that are using to make a baby quilt to add to the crib set or a Noahs Ark nursery wall hanging, purchase enough extra material to make noah's ark wall appliques. For extra visual and tactile interest you can raise the design with a trapunto sewing technique that you can do with your sewing machine!
Use one of the Noah's Ark mural kits to stencil your nursery theme on the wall! Stencil the
Ark alone and then apply animal stickers or the above wall decorating technique to fill it.
Stenciling
is an excellent way to decorate your baby's nursery walls.
Find free printable stencils
online or make your own stencil designs from any animal or
zoo coloring book! Many kid's coloring and activity book pages will feature a Noah's Ark or wild animal zoo theme.
If you have a large nursery, try painting three walls and wallpapering one with Noah's Ark
nursery theme wallpaper. Use leftover wallpaper for cut outs, or take the easy route and get Noah's Ark Wallies to create groupings
and arrangements on the painted wall. This is an easy and cheap way to evenly distribute your theme around baby's bedroom. Just grab the stick ons and get to work!
You can also stick a few cutouts on a piece of your baby's nursery furniture along with the themed drawer pulls and hardware.
Do some stamping! Make a border around the baby's room with Noah leading the animals to the Ark!
At nursery baseboard level, stamp the Ark, then Noah and the animals following Noah in a repetitive procession around the room.
Get some cheap wooden shelves and dress them up in the best paint color to contrast with your wall color. Load them up with stuffed animals that will catch your baby's eye! They will be much larger mobile versions of the graphics in the Noah's Ark paintings and art that you've hung and therefore much easier for baby to see and friendly to a child's touch.
If your baby's bathroom is visible from the nursery, don't forget to decorate it in your theme. There are many coordinating bath accessories including animal print shower curtains, soap dishes, toothbrush holders, towels and animal rugs suitable for a Noah's Ark nursery theme that you can include in your decorations.
