Decorating The Nursery
Preparing the nursery is an exciting preparatory time for mothers-to-be. IndianMomsAndBabies.com loves the idea of preparaing non-traditional themes for your baby's room!
The pregnancy activity
Planning for the baby's room is part of the excitement of having a baby. Mothers-to-be have many choices and ideas for nursery decorating. We suggest passing on the traditional pink and blue of years gone by. Take some advice and flaunt your creativity!
Preparation
Home-improvement and decorating have moved from professional's hands to anyone's hands. Head to a local bookstore to check out decorating books for a bit of inspiration.
Instead of pink ribbons and paint, why not try "shabby chic" style? This style utilizes flea-market finds in cream, pink and light green shades. Putting a baby spin on the idea could include a vintage bassinet, crib or other furniture. Try using fabrics in a rose pattern, while keeping the same color scheme.
If you have art and painting talent, a hand-painted mural on the nursery wall is a clever idea. For a boy, a cowboy, farm, zoo or jungle themed-mural is great. For a girl, try floral, sun, moon, fish or animal themes.
Variations
Get daddy's input and help on the idea. Decorating together is a great chance to pre-baby bond.
Although we love this creative design idea, there are certain themes to stay away from: gothic and art-deco come to our minds.
