Nine months might seem like a long time to wait to welcome the new addition to your life. You’ll find that the shopping, planning and decorating for the imminent arrival will keep you super busy. Here we try to relieve the hassle of nursery decoration with our top tips for decorating a nursery and choices of nursery wallpaper.
1 - Know your Space
First of all you need to get to know the room you are planning to decorate. In all likelihood the new nursery was probably a study or spare bedroom previously. It can be difficult to look beyond an existing room and uncover the potential of a space in relation to a nursery. Try emptying the room completely and looking at where the window, door and other features are. You’ll be planning around these and the new accessories you need to create a stunning new look with nursery wallpaper.
2 - Plan Ahead
Once you understand the space within the nursery, it’s time to start planning. Your nursery design will probably evolve throughout your pregnancy. At your scan, you might even find out the gender of your baby which will impact your choice of baby wallpaper or nursery stickers to use. Think about what themes and colour schemes you might want to use. If you’re unsure of the gender of your baby and want to opt for neutral nursery wallpaper, try something like the Arthouse Bear Hugs Teddy Bear Wallpaper.
3 - Get Inspired
With so many options for decorating the nursery, you might not know where to start. Browse nursery design ideas, check out our nursery wallpaper collection and look at designs that excite and inspire you. It might be a generic wallpaper design like the teddy bear one mentioned above or it might be something more specific like the Arthouse Fairy Dust Glitter Wallpaper. Whatever takes your fancy, let it inspire you in your final design.
4 - Have a Great Starting Point
Don’t know where to start? Then choose one wall to begin with and take the design from there. It might be some nursery stickers or a wall mural like the Komar Disney Winnie the Pooh Ballooning Wall Mural which kick-starts your decorating project. Once you have a starting point in mind, it makes it much easier to complete the rest of the look.
5 - Make a Statement
Don’t be worried about being conventional or traditional when it comes to choosing your nursery wallpaper. This is your chance to relive your childhood and choose a fun, colourful wallpaper design that you like – after all there will be a little person taking part in bedroom ideas in just a few years ahead. Why not make a statement with vibrant shades or fun patterns like the Debona Zoo Multi Wallpaper.
