One of the first things moms-to-be like to check off their lists is the nursery. Even if you plan to keep the baby in your own room during the nights at the beginning, you will still spend a lot of time in the nursery. Changing the baby, storing clothing and feeding the baby will all be done in the nursery. It makes sense that the nursery should be warm and welcoming not only for the baby, but for you as well.

One of the best places to start is to decide what color scheme you want the nursery to be.Get more information here. http://celebritybabies.people.com/2011/07/19/how-to-create-a-stylish-one-of-a-kind-nursery/ Consider the color of furniture as well. Most nurseries will have a crib, changing table, dresser and rocking chair. Furniture can be a deep rich mahogany wood to a very light whitewashed wood. Mahogany wood tends to look best with deep warm tones such as rust red or deep blue. Whitewashed furniture works well with bright colors such as sunshine yellow and pastel pink.

Once you decide on your color scheme, you can play with shades and textures. Don’t be afraid to mix stripes with plaid, solid colors with prints. As long as they are in the same color scheme, they will match. Bringing in the theme of your nursery is easy, consider self-applied borders for the wall and framed pictures. If you cannot find a border that matches, you can use stencils to form a border and then paint the stencils to match. Frames could be painted to match as well.

Personalize your nursery by searching fabric stores for unique fabrics. You could make curtains for the windows and with the same fabric make throw pillows. Most craft stores sell wooden letters with a great selection of style and sizes. Spell your baby’s name out and paint with a solid color or add some flair with polka dots or stripes.
