Baby Room Themes & Home Decoration Ideas

by Phil on March 15, 2010

Creating a baby room theme is the most fun you will have decorating your house. In a baby’s world, anything goes, and the eclectic collection of imagery and color gives you free reign to set your creative powers in motion. And although building and shaping your new custom nursery is exciting, it need not break the bank to get it done right.

When creating your baby room theme, you may favor the path of color accents and individual bits of decor. This type of nursery is bold and versatile, leaving you a lot of room to grow as the baby gets older. Try a soft muted paint on three walls and a vibrant color or wallpaper print on one wall. Picture hanging is yet another idea and you can slowly accumulate a treasured photo gallery or accent with gift items from family and friends. A color-based baby room theme leaves you plenty of open ground in which to maneuver and grow your collection of decorative arts at the appropriate time.

The centralized baby room theme is a collection of related images, usually ascribed to Winnie-the-pooh and such. This type of baby room theme allows you gather and expand while keeping in line with the central theme. Choose curtains, bedding, night lights and trash cans all flowing smoothly into your baby’s favorite character themes. When its time to retire your current theme, you can sell your centralized bundle at an online auction or yard sale and fetch a good price. Character collectibles are big business and never go out of style, so be sure to hang on to what you are not using and pass them along to someone else.

Designer bedding and accessories has taken flight, with bedtime options made by industry giants such as Jessica McClintock, Banana Fish, Cotton Tale Designs and more. This type of baby room theme is flexible with almost any decor, and works well with animal themes, angels, geometric shapes and nature. If the designer bedding is of any better quality than the department store brands is left to be seen, but the visual effects of designer bedding can be stunning. Just work within your budget to cultivate your taste in color, texture and originality, and everything will be perfect for baby’s first room.
