NURSERY ROOM DECOR
Tasneem Mirza
The nursery is your newborn's first room, his own little world: the environment,which in part will influence and shape his personality. As a parent your goal is to provide a surrounding that is comfortable, secure, inviting and cozy.
A functional, safe and stimulating environment precedes aesthetic needs. Here is one illustration for decorating a boy's nursery. Instead of restricting the color to a single monotonous tone, a variety of bright blues, yellows, reds, pinks and green were selected. According to studies, introduction to bright colors and shapes help stimulate babies' imaginations. The inspiration for this nursery was derived from the adorable multi-colored hand hooked rug with animals and alphabets. The animals on the rug provided a theme for the room and formed the central focus for design.These motifs play off the animal mobile overhead, crib bedding, pillows and other accessories.
The furniture was kept simple. The entertainment center from Pier One Imports used as an armoire is practical, inexpensive and most importantly has ample storage. Built in cabinets conceal clutter, help organization and present a neat tidy look. Both the armoire and the cabinet are excellent long-term choices not restricted to age and can be used as the child grows. These furniture items with simple white distressed finish complement varied kids of decor can be alternately used in another room.
Safety precedes any other aesthetic element. The crib and bassinet should be ideally positioned in an area that is away from objects like windows, draperies, blinds or shelves that can cause accidents. One other important thing to consider while placing the crib is to avoid picture frames or any other items that can fall on the baby. Here the crib is placed against the wall away from the window with a light mesh canopy hung from the ceiling. The canopy is securely fastened from a hook to prevent accidents. The canopy with its pale yellow hue and ruffle edges adds a delicate touch to the crib. A traditional white wicker bassinet with blue gingham ribbon details stands out against the colorful background. This affordable bassinet from Wal-Mart is an outstanding choice; the two wicker baskets provide extra storage.. The room has both a bed and a crib and as the baby grows this arrangement will ease the transition from "baby bed" to "big-boy bed." As a concerned parent, it's also nice to have a spot where Mom or Dad can sleep near the baby.
Accessories such as picture frames, lamps and artwork, are a great way to add fun, pattern and color without much expense. Room accessories like the distressed white wooden letters hung from blue gingham ribbon add a distinctive, personal touch to the nursery
