When perusing the aisles at your local baby store, you’re likely to find wall after wall of pastel colors. Pale pinks and blues are offset by pale greens and yellows and chances are that color scheme doesn’t jive with your current home design. Don’t give into all the hype that your baby’s room has to follow the age-old trend of cloyingly sweet colors on every surface. Go bold with color, or choose colors that are coherent with the color scheme in the rest of your house.
Choose Patterns That Go With Your Home
Along with choosing colors, people often find themselves with very few options when it comes to patterns to use in your nursery. Pass up on all of the Winnie the Pooh or Disney decor in exchange for bold patterns that truly reflect your personal style. These days bright floral patterns are very popular and would be completely appropriate for your nursery needs.
Use Beautiful Furniture
Bringing a baby into your home doesn’t mean that you have to give up on your love of beautiful furniture either. As you begin searching around for all the right furniture for your nursery, steer clear of traditional nursery furniture. Why buy a nondescript changing table when you can get a gorgeous antique or handmade dresser that serves the same purpose? Also, consider moving in furniture from other spaces in your house. That dresser you’ve been using in your master bedroom is the perfect fit, and now you can buy something you love even more for that space.
Select Great Art
This may sound redundant from our previous points, but it’s important to note that you don’t have to sacrifice any of your personal style in your baby’s room. Continue to use pieces from your beautiful collection of art, or invest in new pieces that are cohesive with your current home design. Bring in pieces that are bright and cheerful and give baby something vibrant to look at as she gets older.
