Decorating
Baby Nursery can be Fun

Decorating baby nursery or child's room can be fun, but before you start, write down some ideas and prepare a list of items you will need.

Here are some considerations:

• One way to decorate a baby nursery or room is around a theme or color. Review magazines or decorating books to gather ideas for colors or a theme.
• Color is important and can have various effects. Pink is a calming color and best for girls. Light blue is a soft color and best for boys. Soft green represents peace.
• Consider to combine colors with furniture and accessories.
• Choose a main point, which most likely will be the crib or toddler bed. A colorful wall, a wall mural or wall paper could also be the focal point.
• Bedding is an important consideration. It should blend in with a theme or color. Soft, light colors and cotton material is preferred.
• Keep enough room to store toys, books and games. If you use a toy chest, make sure it blends in with the colors. There should be room for a desk to do home work and a place for a computer.
• If the walls are not wallpapered, colorful area rugs with game patterns create fun and entertainment. You can match the bedding in the room with colors of the rug.

When decorating baby nursery or child's room, safety should be a main concern. Keep electrical cords out of the way, use double faced tape under the area rugs and use safe toy boxes.
