Nursery Themes for Baby Boys

14 Apr

The ultrasound showed that a bouncing baby boy is on the way. Now you need to prepare a room in which he can grow and have adventures. You may want to stimulate his very active imagination along with his very active play. However, sometimes it’s wise to create a cozier, less stimulating room, so your baby boy is easier to put to sleep at night. You can adapt any of the themes below to be perfect for your baby boy.

Cars: Cars are a tried and true theme for a boy’s room. You can find pages of wallpaper borders with cars in every color scheme. There are car shaped beds and other accessories that will fit into the theme as they grow older. An area rug with streets printed on it is a perfect addition. It is sure to become a favorite as your son gets older.

Trains: Little boys seem to love trains. Decorating the room with toy trains is a perfect fit. Some people have even built a suspended track around the room for a decorative and fun accent. Thomas the Tank is a very popular and natural way to add to your train themed room.

Boats: Boats are another good theme for a boy’s room. You can find inspiration for your room by examining the simple designs of signal flags to life preservers. Pirates would also be a great addition to a boat themed room as pirates are very popular with little boys.

Sports: A sports-themed room is very easy to set up for a baby’s nursery. Combine items from football, baseball, basketball, soccer and hockey – which are all easy to find. From preprinted wallpaper and borders to stencils and even actual balls and other equipment, decorating the room is a snap. If mom or dad has some trophies from their glory days, these would make wonderful accents. Of course, you can always find banners and posters from your favorite teams to add even more visual appeal to your baby’s room.

Characters: Popular shows such as Bob the Builder, Blue’s Clues and Sesame Street offer bedding sets and accessories that will make decorating very easy for the baby’s room.

What’s So Fabulous About Wall Letters?

12 Feb

Wall letters are great decorating ideas that are simple to do on your own. Homeowners and renters can quickly change the look of any room: bedroom, kitchen, children’s room, and bathroom by simply adding wall letters. Children and teenagers, who like to make several quick changes in their rooms, will have a great need for several sets of wall decals. So wall letters are also good presents for young people. And no additional products are also needed to keep wall letters looking neat.

We often associate decals with car decorating but recently, decals have gained wide acceptance in home decorating. Its easy application and water-proof material have made vinyl-based decals a big part of the do-it-yourself home & decorating industry. Several types of decal designs are available but one of the most striking product lines is the wall letters.

These wall letters have become very popular in recent years because they eliminate the need for extensive home maintenance in home decoration. Years ago, parents had to devote several days to the process of painting a room, installing wallpaper or incorporating a drawing into wall space. These precocious residents may have wanted more variety in their wall design, but their working parents were probably unwilling to redecorate the house every few months. The best advantage of vinyl wall lettering is that it is fast, safe and does not damage the wall with nails or paint tears. Older children can be taught to apply vinyl wall lettering and parents can put up these decals in just a few moments.

A child can use wall lettering decal to personalize his or her room. This will give the child a sense of creative freedom, which he or she will find very comforting. They may want to have numerous wall letters on the wall, spelling out their name or other words that they feel reflect their personalities. They might also want to decorate their room with shapes or graphics, setting up their own little ambiance. You never know: maybe someday your child will become an art director or home decorator! The easy use of vinyl decals makes this caprice possible. Vinyl decals can inspired a child and keep him or her happy for months on end.

The design options available to kids to personalize their rooms are immense. Decals come in various patterns, colors and shades, shapes, and sizes. They can be applied to anything found inside the room, from walls to mirrors to headboards and dressers. Decals also cost less than other decorating supplies and a set on average cost below ten dollars. Wall letterings are also priced per letter. Hence, you only buy the letters you need, which further brings the cost down.

Your kids are not the only ones who will appreciate wall lettering decals as presents. You can also pick wonderful designs for your relatives and friends who are expecting a baby and are engaged in transforming a room into a nursery. Young relatives who are going to college can also use wall letterings in their dormitories.

Wall letters are easy to take down and easy to personalize. As the years pass, your child may want to spell out other words or buy more decals. That’s the beauty of using vinyl: there are no limitations. Replacing wall letters and other graphics will be as easy as taking a magnet on and off of the refrigerator. You could even teach your child how to do it.

If this sounds appealing to you then wall letters is a great decision for you. Companies offer a wide variety of designer decals, murals and word lettering. Word letters can be according to theme, of interest to boys or girls, and many dazzling shapes. Children will be amused at the many colorful patterns and feel like they’re in charge of making their room exciting and vibrant. This is not only a great way to encourage children to read and to encourage a sense of responsibility and independence”its also a great deal of fun!

Decorating the Baby Room when you don’t know the Baby’s Gender

11 Nov

It can be a challenge to decorate your new baby’s nursery when you have decided not to find out the gender of your baby during pregnancy. Thankfully we have a lot more choices available to us today than our parents and grandparents had when they were having babies. They worked with the two basic baby colors; blue and pink. We have the entire rainbow and our imagination is the only limit.

Before you put anything into your nursery, it’s a great idea to tackle the walls. You’re going to want something gentle and soothing that will work with all kinds of ideas you come up with later. Without being girlish or boyish, you could go for a simple blue sky scene using a few shades of light blue. Add in some fluffy clouds and you have a great backdrop for anything. Carry this same theme over into curtains with some fabric paints. Just about any fabric color you choose for the windows will look complimentary.

Most nurseries have four basic elements of furniture. The baby crib and changing table usually match. Then you have dressers and a rocking chair for Mom. You may also have a cradle, but that’s more likely to be in your own bedroom. Since you won’t know the gender of the baby until you bring him home, and you certainly won’t feel like shopping for furniture then – you will probably want to go with natural wood tones. If you pick up some unfinished pieces, you can add color and design elements later when you have more time.

The next step in decorating your baby’s nursery might be all about the functions of the nursery. If you’ll be spending time in the nursery late at night, a little side nightstand with a lamp next to the rocker will be nice. Find a plain white lamp and lamp shade and you’ll be able to modify it later to match the theme you choose.

Look for two or three large shelves, two or three feet wide, at least eight inches deep and hang these up strategically around the room. Choose a natural wood tone to match the furniture or stick with white until later. These shelves will be a blessing to you for things like a small stereo, some baby books to read your baby are so versatile and can flow with any ideas you come up with later when the baby is settled in. Whether you end up adding butterflies or frogs to the room later, the blue sky and neutral additions will fit perfectly.

This is a room with a really nice canvas of sky and all of the basics in place. You can wait for baby to reveal his or her gender to really dig into a decorating theme, or just choose to go with something that isn’t girl or boy specific to get everything done in advance. Whichever you choose, don’t be afraid to be daring – remember, the nursery gets redecorated in just a few short years and you get to have the fun all over again.

Baby Nursery Decorating Tips and Ideas

7 Nov

Baby nursery on your mind lately? You’ve come to the right place: here you’ll find ideas on picking a theme for your baby’s room, as well as what are some of the essentials you need to decorate a special room for
a special baby.

One of the first decisions new parents make regarding a baby nursery is the theme. For some parents this is simply done by selecting a character or favorite cartoon, such as Charlie Brown from Peanuts, or Strawberry Shortcake. However, your baby nursery theme does not have to rely on a character theme.

Some playful themes for your baby nursery may include the following ideas:

  • Fish/Aquatic Life
  • Cats and Dogs
  • Sunshine
  • Clouds
  • Lemons
  • Patterns
  • Astrology/Stars
  • Shapes

Keep in mind when you are selecting the theme for your baby nursery, you will have to subsequently decorate the room accordingly. Some themes might be easier to accommodate for than others. For example, a Winnie the Pooh theme would probably not be difficult to plan for. Almost every baby store has hundreds of Pooh themed sheets, clothing, wall paper and other paraphernalia. On the other hand, selecting an obscure theme such as “salamanders” might be more difficult to shop for. It can be done however, so, should you select an unusual idea, just give yourself plenty of time to research the theme and find appropriate materials.

There are definite do’s and don’ts to consider when planning a baby nursery. It’s important not to go overboard! Remember how rapidly babies grow. At some point, your beautiful little baby is going to turn to you and say “mommy, I want a different themed room!” and it may be sooner than you think!

That being said, there are a few essential items you need to consider purchasing to furnish your baby nursery:

Now for those extras that make your baby’s nursery so special, here are some suggestions:

  • Baby Mobile (make sure you remove this from the baby’s crib when he/she is able to grab it)
  • Rocker/Glider
  • Diaper Disposal System
  • Wallpapering and or similar decorations
  • Hamper
  • Ottoman
  • Night Light
  • Air Purifier/Humidifier

No matter what theme you decide upon and what furnishings you select, your baby nursery is bound to become a place where you and your baby have countless opportunities to bond and grow together.

And here are some safety tips for your baby nursery:

  • make sure you have a working smoke detector in or near your child’s bedroom.
  • secure the windows to prevent accidental falling out of the window
  • Keep drapery and blind cords out of baby’s reach from the crib and changing table.
  • protect unused electrical outlets
  • invest in a safety gate if your home has interior stairs
  • remove balloons from the baby’s room as soon as the welcome home party is over

Baby Center – create a safe center for your baby’s activities.

Creating Baby Center as the Focal Point of a Nursery/Playroom

4 Nov

Many folks set about creating a nursery knowing that the space is being designed 100% with a new baby in mind. Other areas of your home however, often do not take on much significance related to the baby. One novel idea that might better enamor your baby and soon to be toddler to other areas of the home, particularly your main living space, is creation of a “baby center.” A baby center can be located in any area of the home, but most commonly works well in the living area or family area.

The purpose of a baby center is to provide a focal point and activity center for your child as they learn to crawl, toddle and gain an active interest in exploration and toys. Remember that as babies begin to explore the world around them with newfound excitement and interest, they often “taste” anything and everything that falls in their path. Therefore it is critical that you ensure that the area where your baby will be spending a large part of their day is safe, secure, and free of small objects that your baby might accidentally ingest.

Creation of a baby center alleviates the need for excessive monitoring. You can set aside a section of your home, and fill it with fun baby oriented toys and learning items such as books, bouncing chairs, building blocks and discovery centers. Some tips on creating a safe center for your baby’s activities and some common baby proofing ideas are listed below:

  • Keep an eye out for small objects: ensure that there is nothing nearby that is small enough to for your baby to ingest.
  • Watch out for electrical outlets and devices: cover any outlets using plastic plugs and keep any lamp or television cords out of harm’s way. NEVER place any cords attached to items a baby can pull down within arms reach of your baby center
  • Watch out for any potential poisons: keep in mind that any liquid material nearby could be accidentally ingested
  • Keep baby center clear of stairs: be sure that safety gates block the top and bottom of any open stairways, and always have them fastened when baby is up and about

To keep things organized within your baby center, consider purchasing a large plastic tub to store all of baby’s toys when they are not in use. Also have a supply of spit up rags handy to catch any mess that is produced as a result of baby’s adventurous activity.

Baby Room – Essential Items for Baby’s First Setting

13 Oct

Baby Room Themes – Decorating your baby’s room is one of the most important things you can do
while waiting for your little one to arrive.

Setting up a baby room for the first time will require a small investment in time and creativity. One of the first considerations for a baby room is often color and or theme. Neutral colors ideal for a boy or girl’s baby room include varying shades of: yellow, purple (lavender, lilac), orange, green or red. Most rooms nowadays are not pink or blue specifically, though there are several exceptions to this rule.

There are a wide variety of themes also available that add to the décor of a new baby room, these include shapes, colors, animal themes and even cartoon characters. Once you decide upon the décor and theme, furnishing the baby room becomes the next big task. There are several big ticket items that are considered a must-have by most parents, including the following:

Bassinet: Though this item isn’t a necessity, many parents find it very useful for the first few weeks of baby’s life. A crib is a very wide and open space; sometimes placing newborns in a bassinet facilitates better sleeping and comfort for your new baby. Many parents also like to use bassinets because they are mobile; they can easily be transported from baby’s room to parents and back again.

Infant Crib This item is a necessity. All babies at some point or another will need a crib to sleep in. Many use their crib until they are 1 ½ years old, though this age varies from baby to baby. There are certain critical factors that should be evaluated when purchasing a new crib, including the space between rails, the fit of the mattress and the durability of the unit. Most pediatric organizations recommend that you do not purchase a used crib unless you know who it is coming from, how old it is and you are 100% percent that all the parts are in working order.

Dresser Without adequate storage space you’ll find yourself swamped under piles and piles of new baby clothes. Having a baby dresser handy will help not only organize clothes, but also accessories such as bibs, towels, washcloths, socks and personal care items such as baby brushes and nail clippers.

Changing Tables: Having a changing station available will make diaper changing events much easier and more organize. A station allows you to conveniently have all baby items handy, including wipes a change of clothes, rags, extra burp cloths and of course diapers.

Diaper Disposal System and Diaper Disposal Cover Unavoidably, babies soil hundreds of diapers a month. Having a diaper disposal system not only allows for convenient disposal, but also prevents excess odor build up in baby’s room. You might find you actually prefer to have two systems handy, one for the baby’s room and one for the main living area where diaper changes will also often occur.

Rocker/Glider: Though this item can’t technically be considered a necessity it is highly recommended for all new moms. A rocker provides a convenient place for not only feeding, but spending cherished one on one time, play time and comfort time. A rocker is a great place to sit with your baby to calm him down after a busy day. Many moms often enjoy the comfort of a
luxurious reclining glider for middle of the night feedings, where both mom and baby can snooze comfortably and safely.

You’ll find sooner than you expected your baby room is filled with an assortment of additional accessories, including toys, nightlights, clothes, stocks of diapers and wipes among other things. There are a number of accessories that can be purchased such as a mobile to attach to your infant crib to add to the décor and cozy atmosphere. Consider speaking with other parents to find out what other items they considered necessities for their first baby room.

Baby Sleep Pillow

8 Sep

A baby sleep pillow can serve as far more than a mere source of comfort for your child. Baby pillows can serve as small treasures: treasures that will last a life time. More than a decorative touch to any child’s nursery, a baby sleep pillow can be stored away and saved as a “memento” that reminds you of your child when they were small.

As your baby grows older and comes to age he (or she) will look with a chuckle at his favorite accessories when the world was his playground.

Baby sleep pillows come in all shapes and sizes. No matter what color your nursery may be, you are more then able to find baby pillows that match the room’s décor. Moreover, if you are looking for something extremely personal, you can easily have personalized a baby sleep pillow made for your child’s room. You can custom order baby pillows in pink or blue, in a variety of sizes and you can have your baby’s name embroidered on the service of the pillow. You can be limited to eight letters on your custom ordered baby pillows so if your child’s name is long, you may want to have your baby pillows customized with a nickname. You will find that most customized baby pillows are easily washable and are made of 100% cotton flannel.

If you are concerned about allergies, you can also purchase baby pillows that are made of all natural materials. Such pillows are made from all natural cotton and no bleaching agents are used. Moreover, the fill is made of organic wool and cotton and you can order the pillows online and have them delivered to your home.

If you are overly concerned with what baby pillows might be made of, you may be better off making your own. You can select the fill and fabric yourself and there are patterns available on the Internet for you to follow. In fact, you may find that you enjoy making baby pillows and you can then start a small online business selling them if you so choose.

Popular Nursery Theme Ideas for Baby Girl

5 Sep

You’ve found out that your precious bundle of joy will be a girl. Pictures of pink and frills suddenly fill your head. But, decorating for a little girl doesn’t have to be limited to pink. The possibilities are almost endless. In addition to all the licensed character nursery themes out there, there are many other choices available.

Flower garden: Create a flower garden in the nursery. Find bright colorful silk flowers to decorate the room. There are cute flower-shaped rugs, lights, wall decorations and other accessories. You can also find floral borders to accent the walls.

Butterflies: Butterflies are always popular and will be something any girl will still love as she gets older. There are a wide variety of bedding sets with butterflies in various color combinations. You can easily combine this theme with a garden theme, as well.

Baby animals: Who wouldn’t love cute, fuzzy baby animals? They make perfect nursery decorations. As the child gets a little older, it’ll be great for games of I Spy and learning the animals and their sounds.

Rainbows: Paint the room a pale sky blue, with a few clouds and paint a simple rainbow on one of the walls. If you have used furniture, paint it brightly, as well. Mix and match items in the room, using the different colors, and you have a bright, imaginative room. Place a yellow toy box at the bottom of the rainbow for the “pot o’ gold”.

Dance: Maybe you’ll inspire a future world-class ballerina with a dance-themed room. It’s easy to collect decorations, like posters, dance shoes or other dance-related memorabilia for a delightful little girl’s room. Attach a “barre” and large mirror to one wall when your child gets older and you’ll have a dance studio in your daughter’s room.

Pooh Bear: Winnie the Pooh is also a very popular yet classic idea for a baby girl’s room. You can choose from either the classic or newer versions with a variety of characters. Either one would be wonderful and usually will be a favorite until she is older. Adding Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore will be colorful and cute as well. Bedding, decorations and stuffed characters add to a delightful setting.

In addition to Winnie the Pooh, there are many other character options for a girl’s room, such as the baby version of many popular cartoon characters, like Snoopy, Bugs Bunny and Muppets. Some newer favorites are Blues Clues, Dora the Explorer, Disney Princesses and many more.
