Summer inspired nursery idea board
The most thrilling thing that new parents can do is to plan and style their baby’s room. From picking a theme to choosing the right rocking chair, it’s crucial to get the details right. It is, after all, the space in your home where you’ll likely spend a significant amount of time (we’re certain that parents will be able to confirm this). As much as preparing to welcome your baby’s arrival will require lots of scheduling and appointments, creating the nursery for your baby can be an enjoyable, distracting activity. At the same time, you wait for your baby’s arrival. With this being said, we’ve put together our top five baby nursery ideas that will inspire you, as well as some suggestions from Sarre, the founder of Her Hands, to help you take your nursery’s design to a higher stage.
Select the theme
Like at an event or party, It’s fun to incorporate the theme in place to make a memorable and cohesive design. Selecting furniture, decorations, or other elements that match the theme of the room helps make the planning and shopping process less daunting. The theme of your nursery might be just the thing that adds an element of magic and imagination to the space. Even though the idea of a theme is big and extravagant, it doesn’t have to be. We prefer themes that are timeless and are likely to evolve with the child, for example, the neutral theme. The other themes that could be considered are boho, tropical/palm, or some specific color (e.g., pink! ), beach, or Australiana. Also, you can combine themes according to your preferences and ideas for your room.
“For neutral nurseries, we love seeing pieces that make a textural statement against a classic base of muted tones – accent pieces that can then move to other areas of the home once your little one has grown.”
Make use of a wall decal, wallpaper, or wall-hanging
To stand out and add some color to the nursery, consider some wallpaper. The great thing about wallpaper is that it is likely to find the ideal pattern that will be a perfect match with your theme. From florals to palm trees and gingham, The options are endless. It’s also a great wall decoration that can be altered much more quickly than paint and is great in the event that you need to turn the nursery into an adult’s space. Another great option is a wall sticker or wall hanging that can provide instant enthusiasm, joy, and excitement.
Make sure you invest in a comfortable rocking chair
Because you’ll spend much time in this space (maybe more than the baby), it is essential to purchase a comfortable rocking chair that can keep you going through the nighttime feedings. Choose a rocking chair that you are fond of; choose one that is comfortable and matches the room perfectly. We prefer a neutral-looking rocking chair because it can be a perfect match for any theme or style that you are choosing, but going for a different color can be enjoyable. Also, don’t forget the leg rest (if it’s not included in the set).
Infuse warmth into the room
The most essential feeling you should feel when in the room is warmth and comfort because that is what you want your baby to feel when they enter their nursery. When you add elements of texture, such as a shaggy rug, a fluffy ottoman, or warm lighting from chandeliers, the space will feel warm and welcoming. These types of elements are best suited to neutral or warm colors to give the impression of warmth.
“There are a myriad of gorgeous muted shades that are in style these days and are an ideal backdrop for an uncluttered nursery. We love seeing them decorated with pops of texture and pattern – whether it’s a rug with a shaggy look or statement lighting for a warm and inviting look to the nursery of your baby.”
Include furniture that is able to be reused
As you’ve probably noticed, we like things that are moveable and easy to move in and out. It’s an excellent way to save money and aesthetic choice to choose furnishings that are able to be reused for other rooms or when your baby gets older. If you choose furniture that’s not only meant for nursery use, the table will last longer and be reused for other purposes once the nursery is not needed anymore or becomes a child’s space instead. It could be accomplished by selecting a dresser that has a basket for changing clothes on top (instead of a table for changing) or a unisex mirror or side table that doesn’t convey an impression of ‘nursery-only.’
