One of the most fun tasks when expecting a baby is planning and decorating the nursery. However it can be difficult to decide how to decorate it, especially as there is so much choice and so many options available. Here we take a look at a range of themes that you could choose from to create the perfect nursery with nursery wallpaper for your little bundle of joy.
It’s a surprise – neutral colour scheme
For those of you who want the gender of your baby to be a surprise, it can lead to some challenging decisions when looking at decorating the nursery. The best thing to do is disregard pink and blue completely and opt for a variety of neutral shades. Shades such as magnolia, latte, mocha and other pale brown hues are ideal. They are not only suitable for either a boy or a girl’s bedroom but are also timeless so will easily take your baby into their toddler years and beyond. If you’re looking for something a little more geared to a nursery environment, choose a specific nursery wallpaper – these typically have furry animals and imagery on such as rabbits, bears, mice and dogs.
It’s a surprise – colourful colour scheme
If you are looking for something a little more colourful than neutral shades, opt for the other end of the spectrum and use more vivid colours. Bright yellow, orange and lime green shades are all gender neutral yet will look fabulous in a nursery, plus they’re really on-trend for the coming season. To create a fun look, use zoo themed wallpaper or murals teamed with brightly coloured woodwork accents. All young children like zoo and jungle animals so this décor will easily be suitable as your child turns into a toddler too.
It’s a girl!
Pink is synonymous with little girls so what better colour to choose for your little girl’s nursery. You can choose to keep it simple by painting all the walls pale pink or add a slightly more intense shade to one wall such as fuchsia for a more modern style. There are also a variety of girl’s nursery wallpaper designs available which feature everything from princesses to fairies, butterflies to rainbows. Wall murals are another great way of adding a girlie look to the nursery and Walltastic have a great choice including My Little Pony, Barbie and many more.
It’s a boy!
Blue looks fabulous in any nursery. With so many shades of blue available it can be difficult to know which to choose. Pale blue shades are ideal for baby boy’s bedrooms as they help to create a calm and relaxed atmosphere, however they can make a room seem cold. Therefore look for a pale blue that has been warmed up with a touch of grey or use boys’ nursery wallpaper patterns or wall murals to add accenting colours to the other walls for a fabulous look.
Whatever the gender of your little one, there are some great wallpaper styles, wall mural and paint effects available. Look at nursery wallpaper UK suppliers for cost-effect solutions and above all else, have fun and enjoy the experience – after all it’s not every day you get to decorate a nursery!
