DIY Purple Nursery Décor, Design and Crafts Tips

Updated December 7, 2025 by Jan of Unique Baby Gear Ideas

We have some excellent purple baby nursery ideas for the mom who is expecting a baby girl.  Some of you may be wondering why a mom-to-be would allow the chance to decorate a room in pastel yellow, pink or baby blue to slip through their fingers and that's understandable. 

However, many of our visitors are not first time moms. Many of the moms-to-be that stop by have not one but perhaps two or more older daughters that probably had the traditional pink princess nursery room.


These ladies are considering purple nursery décor because it's different.

Purple Baby Nursery Ideas and Free Sewing Projects

Go here to see more crib sets and ideas for mixing and matching fabric patterns and colors with purple.

It's very rare that a solid purple crib set works well in a baby girl's nursery. The addition of fabric with a print that includes just a touch of purple via a fitted crib sheet or ruffled crib skirt is almost always necessary to get the look that my clients want for the space.

Purple and Black Nursery

Add your own unique touches to the project by painting a used baby armoire purple, black and white.

Then, sew a crib skirt using fabrics that you match to the paint colors rather than using pieces that come with a store bought collection. This nursery has a beautiful example of a DIY ruffled crib skirt and there is a ruffled crib skirt sewing tutorial that will get you started.
