6 Nursery Decoration Ideas For New Moms

Creating a space for the baby can be a challenge. For example, a bit of paint can refresh any room, but breathing paint fumes is not at all recommended during pregnancy. This can create a snag in the plans of any mom-to-be! Luckily, there are other options for decorating the nursery that won't give you a headache.

Here are 6 areas of decorating that most new couples like to work on together - with no fumes!

Stick On Appliques
Stick-on appliqués can create a new focal point in a room and add interest and patterns to an otherwise plain wall design. From butterflies, dragonflies, dragons, and fire trucks to simple flowers or geometric shapes, there are bound to be designs for any décor. The simple addition of these stickers can begin to change that guest room or study into a baby's room.

Original Baby Art and Wallpaper
Many baby stores carry full room designs complete with baby art for the walls and wallpaper border that can be added at the ceiling or at chair-rail level so that it's closer to crib height. These decorations are designed to appeal to parents and babies, and range from very gender specific to neutral pastels and patterns.

Baby Bedding
Bedding sets abound and are available at most department stores and designer boutiques. Most sets will have coordinating bed sheets, dust ruffles, and crib bumpers (some include more items). Crib bumpers are fine to decorate before the baby comes but need to be put away once the crib is being used. Current cautions are to avoid using these crib bumpers due to possible suffocation and SIDS issues.

When considering bedding there are options such as organic cotton bedding (available these days with hand-stitched detail if desired). From the mattress to the wall art the materials used can play a large part in the design for the nursery. Hand crafted items can become a theme even when patterns are varied.

Mobiles
Mobiles that attach to the crib & occupy a baby's field of vision will often coordinate with the desired room theme, but may also be added later as a useful decoration. Some incorporate black on white patterns to stimulate visual development while others opt for colorful soft toys in pastels or bright tones.

Furniture
Furniture for the baby can be as simple as a crib by itself, but many options for these rooms include matching changing table, dresser, bookshelf, and glider/rocker. The glider/rocker is a must have for most parents since a comfortable seat is desirable during those late nights.

Floor and Rugs
Floor covering is something that is often purchased later since the baby won't spend much time on the floor at first. Many of the room and bedding sets have matching rugs in full size or area styles. Other options include large foamy puzzles for a soft play area within the room. These puzzles offer a surface area that is easy to clean and later become learning tools for the child. It is always a good thing when nursery decoration can be educational or fun as well as decorative.
