I have visited many nursery rooms before designing my own. I have a deep passion for decorating homes, and I try to study everything about it. You will likely find me visiting model homes during the weekends to get ideas for my own design projects. I am proud of the nursery room that I designed for my son and the compliments that I got said it all.

Tips for Designing A Baby's Room


Bedding - I started my project by picking out the crib bedding first. It is very important to pick the bedding that you absolutely love because everything else you pick later will have to match the style and color of the bedding. I tend to spend more money on my bedding because a nice bedding matters.

Wall - I was never into the traditional approach that pink is for girls and blue is for boys. I prefer a more neutral approach. I was able to find a soothing neutral color that goes well with my crib linen.

 

Window Treatment - This is the easy part, you can either pick a pattern that matches with your crib linen or the color than goes with your linen and the paint of the wall.


Furniture - I have always love the dark distressed style of furniture, so I bought everything distressed including a crib, a dresser, a nightstand, and a few bookshelves. I got them as a set, so they all match.

Storage - I love the idea of cubbies but I wasn't willing to pay for them. Instead I got three tall bookshelves that go against one whole wall and put fabric-lined storage baskets in them. They turned out gorgeous.

Accessories - I ordered online some wooden letters (my son's name) that match with the linen that I picked out as the finishing touch.
