Nursery Wall Letters, Decor and Decorations to Personalize a Room with Color and StyleThe baby's nursery wall is the largest and most visible part of the room.On this page you will learn how to successfully blend your window treatments, baby's crib bedding set and the paint color and decor of the walls as well as some easy and inexpensive decorating ideas using stencils, decals, stickers and painting techniques.
Ladybug Wall For example, many parents are choosing a neutral paint color and then accenting with decorations in bright colors. This is a super way to save money and avoid having to re-paint every time the bedding is changed. And it's also a great way to avoid (expensive) decorating mistakes. It's a sad fact but some of us learned the hard way that mixing and matching vivid colors and fabric patterns is more difficult than it seems and is best left to professional decorators. As an example, if you have a monkey theme nursery, paint a jungle wall mural. Arrange a grouping of wild animals that would be found in a jungle in a strategic spot in the room. For a cowboy nursery theme a simple cactus stamp would make a very cute western baby border. Whatever the case may be, let your main theme item dictate how you finish your nursery wall. Everyone seems to fret about whether or not wallpaper in in this season. If you find wallpaper that you love, hang it. Don't worry about what the designers and decorators are saying in decorating magazines. If you don't plan to put your house on the market, decorate to suit yourself! Wallpaper, borders and stickies like everything else evolve constantly to fit the needs of the consumer and other popular accessories. Wallcoverings are avaiable in everything from faux moldings, lazer cuts and embossed metals. Be forewarned that even if you hang your own paper or hire it done, there is more cost and labor involved than with paint and various nursery painting techniques. Practice on some cheap scrap paper until you can be certain that you can apply it in a professional fashion so as not to be disappointed in the end results. While I'm a huge fan of using the easy self-pasting wallpapers, never underestimate the appeal of a nursery wall covered in solid paint colors. If it's a good nursery color and you have lots of nursery furnishings or wall hangings this technique may be your best choice. With a solid color wall, you can focus on your framed art, or use some personalized hanging wall letters, stencil the baby's name on the wall, or paint a quote from your favorite nursery rhyme over the baby's crib. Apply a mini mural to the wall using wall decals! There's no need to cover the entire nursery wall with wallpaper or a mural, just create little areas of interest to keep things lively. Cover your ceiling with a blue sky and fluffy white cloud mural using a faux painting technique. Paint the top third of the nursery wall in one color and the bottom another and cover the line where the colors meet using the wallpaper border of your choice. When it comes to decorating the walls of a baby's room; the sky is the limit! Popular techniques of the moment are painting stripes, using tree wall decals for the nursery that can easily be removed and reused to create a personalized mural and using stencils to paint polka dots with our instructions! Bold red and white stripes painted on the walls can be gorgeous in a Cat in the Hat baby nursery theme! Get a contrasting black lacquered baby crib and some of the Dr. Seuss baby bedding and you're in business! Subdued pastels can be just as striking as bold primary colors but are just not as visually stimulating. They can be used in conjunction with some of your busier fabric patterns such as toiles and many other themed fabric designs No matter if you've never painted. With overhead projection and instructions available to tell you how to paint everything from a mural to a plain white wall, you're good to go! The arrival of a new baby is the perfect time to explore your artistic side; enjoy!
