Deciding on what theme you want to decorate your baby nursery can be a really frustrating experience ~ even though you have high hopes and expectations it will be just the opposite.
So how do you take all the stress out of what should be a pleasant decorating project?
One of the first things you should really consider when planning your baby nursery is do you want a character themed room or do you want something that incorporates your taste and personality like the rest of your rooms. Once you decide on that you've just wiped out some of the frustrations you will have when looking for the perfect crib bedding.
Character themed nurseries have been a traditional standard for many, many years but today's new parents are going with a more modern approach where the bedding for the baby nursery is not so ~ well, for a lack of a better word, "babyish". Instead they are using bedding where the patterns are mixed; dots with stripes and solids (as an example). The furnishings in the room: the crib, changing station, musical crib mobile will bring in the nursery feel as well as other decor items like wall decor, stuffed animals etc.
A big plus in using crib bedding which is not character themed is it will grow with your child. Once your baby is out of his/her crib the blanket and other decor can be used as a toddler's or kids room with only a few additions to match the needs of your child. This in itself is a money saving solution!
While this is only one idea to reduce stress and tension associated with decorating your baby's nursery you will be amazed at just how much can be eliminated when you have an idea of what you want. A little bit of planning into the future will also reduce the stress that can arrive of having to redecorate once your baby no longer needs a crib.
