He would be more inclined to accept brown, black or grizzly bears and other wildlife motifs featured in the baby crib bedding set. This baby boys nursery theme would have lots of stained wood or roughly hewn furniture bringing enjoyment of spending time in the woods and camping excursions to mind.

Another popular baby boys nursery theme that dads think is cool would be a cowboy nursery theme. With a western nursery theme for boys, any baby buckaroo can ride high in the saddle and sit around the fantasy campfire in luxury.

Hang some rope lariats, spurs and some Stetson hats on the wall to complete your decor. Finish your baby boy nursery theme project with a lovely painted desert scene mural on the nursery wall. This can be accomplished using various stenciling or painting techniques, wallpaper cut outs or wallies, or just buy the whole shooting match.

It's never too early to begin giving a child knowledge of their family backgrounds. Don't forget to bring grandmother and grandfather's input into this project.

I'm often asked, "What are the best colors to use for a baby boys nursery theme?" Of course for a baby boy's nursery theme there can be very little pink and fewer hearts and flowers in the decor.

There's nothing wrong with a crisp white nursery wall, drawing your color from the nursery wall art and window treatments chosen especially for a baby boy's nursery theme. If space and the location of your baby's nursery furniture allow, paint three walls in a neutral shade and use a do it yourself painting technique to paint your very own wall mural. Stickers, decals, wallies and wallpaper cutouts are available in cool transportation themes from trucks to choo choo trains which will help to keep the detailed painting that you must do yourself to an absolute minimum.

For the nursery floor there are many themed nursery rugs that will warm up the bare floor and make a nice soft place for the little guy to play. Carpeting is a popular nursery choice, but not the only option. Choosing with easy clean up as well as visual effect in mind is always an excellent idea.
