This rockstar baby crib mobile that I found on etsy is going to be my inspiration piece for the rockstar nursery that I am planning to create for my baby boy. Using this great baby mobile I found as a guide, I will choose matching fabric to have the baby's bedding custom made using a combination of zebra print fabric and fabrics in contrasting colors of red and black.
I may add some decorative items featuring skulls and crosses, too.
From the webmaster:
I love your ideas for
decorating the nursery using a high contrast zebra pattern design because your baby will start to see and appreciate his nursery's decor very early. It's said that contrasts are the first visuals your baby can see and bold stripes will be very easy for him to make out at just a few months of age.
Red, black and white is a very bold nursery color scheme that can be a challenge to manage but proceeding with an inspiration piece, as you are, gives you the best chance of success.
As far as adding skull and cross graphics, I would love to see the decorations you are considering. Since the rockstar baby crib mobile already has a cross included in its design I think you are really onto something cool here.
I hope that when you have your baby boy's
rockstar nursery decorated completely that you will come back and show us your nursery's pictures.
