Decorating a baby's nursery can be a lot of fun. You don't need to spend a lot of money to do this though. Instead of purchasing decorating supplies at the store, you can in fact make many of them yourself. This will not only be more affordable, but also help the nursery to look considerably more personalized. You will furthermore have a fun time making your own embellishing accents. Here are a couple of easy decorating tips that you can use to create the perfectly decorated nursery, even if you don't have a lot of imaginative or "crafty" skills.
Basic Decorations For Your Walls
Convertible Bed Rail
Especially when you are planning on doing most of the work on your own, it can be cheap and simple to decorate the walls of the nursery. A Wallpaper border is usually very simple even for beginning decorators apply, and quite affordable. Or, save even more money by creating a stenciled border all round the top edge of the room, or at chair rail level. Using only a purchased stencil, a stencil brush and also some acrylic craft paint, you can add a custom made and artistic effect. Or, if you feel particularly resourceful, you could even cut out a stencil pattern for yourself, using clear acetate sheets. If you are feeling rather uninspired you might search a kid's coloring book for inspiration. You can also make use of a baby quilt to decorate a wall. Simply attach a quilt rack bar to the wall, then hang a pretty quilt. Showcasing art prints, paintings or even some of your own drawings in silver picture frames along the nursery walls is yet another way to add additional visual interest. In fact, if you have older children, have them make some of their own drawings for adding add to the nursery decoration. This is a great way to include your older children, and they will moreover be very happy to behold their artwork presented in picture frames.
Simple Window Decorations
Adorable window treatments are often a great way to make the baby's room look very attractive. Although you can undoubtedly purchase curtains, draperies or blinds, you can usually save a considerable amount of money by making your own curtains. Begin by purchasing fabric, or even a flat sheet. It's often a good idea to find a sheet which complements the rest of the bed linens in the baby's room, this will help it all to look nice and coordinated. Make two panels of curtains for every single window, each one the full width of the window, so the curtains will be good and full. When cutting each panel, add on about six inches to the curtain length and roughly two inches to the width, to allow for hemming and the top curtain rod pocket. Sew a small hem on the right and left sides of each piece of fabric. And then, sew a deep hem at the bottom of the curtain to get a nice hanging result. Fold the fabric over two times all along the top edge in order to create a pocket that is deep enough for holding the curtain rod. Form the curtain rod opening by sewing horizontally along the top and bottom folded edges. Then the last thing to do is feed the curtain rod through both of the top pockets, and hang the curtains.
Infant Photos
It's a given that a baby's room just wouldn't be a nursery without a few baby photos in frames. Select a few of your beloved baby photos to set in cute baby picture frames, then place them all through the room on tabletops, walls, and shelves. Or perhaps create a photo collage to frame then place on a wall.
So don't be overwhelmed when you get to thinking about decorating your baby's room, as there are many easy and imaginative ways to make the room look great.
