How to Create a Nursery Theme You'll Love
With over four decades of years of experience designing dream nursery decor, we've learned that creating the perfect baby nursery is a journey. This guide will help you bring your baby nursery ideas to life for a space that's both beautiful and functional.
Step 1: Find Your Inspiration & Choose Your Bedding
The easiest way to anchor your nursery theme is to start with the centerpiece: the crib bedding. It's much simpler to match paint and decor to your bedding than the other way around. Find a crib bedding set you adore, and let its colors and style guide your other choices.
Step 2: Build Your Color Palette
Once you have your bedding, building a color palette is easy. A popular designer trick is the 60-30-10 rule: 60% of your room should be a dominant color (like the walls), 30% a secondary color (furniture, curtains), and 10% an accent color. Whether you're creating a soft neutral nursery or a vibrant pink or welcoming blue space, this rule helps create balance.
Step 3: Layer in the Details & Accessories
Layering in coordinated accessories is what truly completes a nursery theme. Consider adding these essential elements to tie everything together:
- A captivating Baby Crib Mobile
- Beautiful Wall Decor
- An adorable, matching Plush & Stuffed Animal
- Coordinated Changing Pad Covers and a matching Hamper
- Soft lighting from a themed Nursery Lamp.
