Decorating a Baby Nursery

No Need to Break the Bank

By Michael Holland

Pages:  1  2  

In decorating a baby nursery, the most crucial element is the crib. Do not cut corners in terms of your budget on this piece. The crib must be of the best quality you can afford and certifiably safe for infants.

Cribs come in a multitude of styles, colors and materials. Remember that you don't have to match the rest of your furniture to your crib. You can still have a clean white crib with a pale pine or oak dresser. Mix up plastics and woods, patterns and solid to design the most flexible plan for decorating a baby nursery.

Assorted Linens
Use your baby linens to change the look of the room when decorating a baby nursery. Sew or buy a number of washable duvets so you can change them often and wash them easily. Stock up on some plain white fitted crib sheets for those times when you know you'll be tossing them out. It's better than throwing away a beautiful patterned sheet that matches a number of elements in the nursery.

These are the fundamentals to get you started on decorating a baby nursery. After you have your color scheme and basic furnishings, you can move on to the fun, incredibly cute design elements available for decorating baby nurseries.
