If you are pregnant for the first time then you may be starting to plan a nursery in your home for your little one. It’s such an exciting time and the planning and preparation is all part of that. Creating a space where your baby will eventually sleep and where you can feed them is such a lovely thing to think about when you are pregnant and it gives you something to focus on too.
The challenging bit comes in choosing a suitable theme to fit your aesthetic. Fortunately, this article will discuss the best baby nursery themes you can adopt in your home.
The watercolour theme is ideal for parents expecting a bouncing baby girl. Not only is this theme suitable for the walls, but you could also incorporate it into the baby’s bedding for a cohesive effect. Line the walls with watercolour murals and paintings or invest in a few decals. You could also add shelves and store books that display some watercolour illustrations.
Whether you are unsure of the gender or want to keep your nursery functional for many years to come, you can always choose a gender-neutral theme. Start by selecting your base colour, such as yellow, green, or a nice taupe, then choose other items such as beddings and furniture. The gender-neutral theme is very simple and attractive, and you can re-use the room for another baby without making significant changes.
One of the most popular nursery themes has got to be the outer space theme, which is primarily blue. We recommend adopting this theme for their nursery if you have a baby boy. You could go all the way and get a mural of the solar system or hang framed images on the walls. Add to the fun by incorporating a moon shaped pillow, space books, and a few space toys.
If you are a massive fan of green and brown hues, then this jungle slash safari theme is the perfect pick for you. We recommend the jungle theme for its longevity as many children develop an interest in animals as they grow older. You will be excited to hear them point out their favourite animals on the walls, such as the lion, the elephant, and the tiger. Spice things up by scattering the corresponding stuffed animals in the nursery.
The woodland theme would be ideal if you love the aesthetic of natural wood and would like the nursery to be cohesive with the rest of the house. Like the jungle theme, the woodland theme can be paired with darker shades of green and brown alongside plaid patterns. Have fun and add some woodland creatures such as foxes, bears, and squirrels to bring this theme alive.
Your young one might not be able to appreciate the effort you put into designing their nursery at first, but you can be assured that they will feel your love. Avoid splurging on a trend that will soon go out of style and leave you feeling sick of it in a few years. We hope that at least one of these themes resonated with you and that you will adopt it in your nursery.
