Your nursery is going to get quite a few visitors after this happy day comes sometime soon. In all likelihood, the nursery is going to have more people moving through it than all of the other rooms in your house put together, and besides the way you think it should appear to these visitors, it really needs to represent a very comfortable, satisfying, secure, pleasing, cozy and relaxing place for your newborn baby.
Your nursery decoration will involve quite a lot of thought and planning and much of this preparation will occur way before you expect your pride and joy to arrive. It is probably much better to maintain a neutral tone and overall decor, especially if you are not sure of the sex in advance. For flexibility's sake it is often best to purchase your nursery bedding and baby accessories in matching sets, as you will certainly want to change as time goes by. As we know, time absolutely flies and we cannot believe how quickly our baby transforms from those first moments.
When you choose the correct color scheme for your baby's nursery, it should not be just a simple question of whether to use a pink or a blue color theme. These days there are a huge variety of different decor themes available and sets can be purchased in coordinated fashion for best effect. When you've selected your major items of furniture, such as the bed, changing table, bouncer, dresser and rocker, you will then need to select the bedding and comforters, sheets, curtains and wall decorations.
Usually children respond well to bright primary colors but these can be overwhelming, just when we need to create a calming environment for baby. It is much better to project a more relaxing tone, with the introduction of warm colors to create that feeling of security and comfort. Does your choice of nursery room have a bright aura, with an open environment and a good amount of sunlight, or is it rather the opposite? If you room is naturally darker, you will need to tone up the color of your walls and flooring, whilst if it has lots of natural sunlight you might want to introduce elements to blend this into the overall feeling of the space.
Irrespective of the general color scheme you've selected for your nursery decoration, always make sure that the nursery bedding and the baby accessories complement each other - and if possible, match as well. Bedding themes are available in an almost overwhelming selection of popular cartoon and fictional character themes, as well as wild animal and sports-related. Obviously you won't be able to make any choices until you're sure whether you're going to have a boy or a girl...
When you have selected your overall color scheme and have decided upon your nursery bedding and accessories set, you can stand back and take a good look at the finished result before deciding if you want to add some neat accents to finish the job off well. Be proud of your work. Nothing can be more important than creating a perfect environment for our most precious new arrival!
