Planning how to welcome your baby girl into this world is an exciting process, though, for first-time parents, it can be a little overwhelming. But it shouldn’t necessarily cost you a fortune. Some basic tips — and a lot of creativity — can help in creating the perfect nursery for your baby. Don’t know how to begin? Have a look at some of these ideas for the best nursery decor for baby girls.
Best nursery decor ideas for baby girls
Here is a list of ideas that you can implement and have the best nursery decor for your baby girl
First things first: Buy a crib
The first thing to buy for a baby girl nursery décor is a crib. A baby cot or crib can be made into something special by simple décor ideas. You can hang a sheet of net from a hook on the wall like a canopy over the crib. Add a floral wreath on top. On festive occasions you can even add a string of lights, to add a little glimmer and glow. Another pro tip is to play with colours. Create a stunning crib or baby cot by painting the rods in the crib a different shade of either pink or powder blue.
How about saving both space and money while you are purchasing a crib? A convertible crib may cost more than the other regular models, but these baby cots are well worth the initial investment. With a few spare parts, and simple adjustments that come along with it, you can transform the crib into a toddler bed, thereby prolonging its use.
Don’t clutter
Keep the nursery as simple as possible and avoid cluttering the space. You don’t need everything in this room. Prioritize. You don’t need a changing table; that is usually a waste of money. You can easily do the changing in your room, on your bed. Changing tables, therefore, are more a discretionary amenity. Similarly, you don’t need fancy bedding or flashy art wall. A cluttered nursery can also induce stress. So, make sure you’re keeping the room clean and clear.
Set a theme for the nursery
Add a different theme to your baby girl’s nursery. Let it stand out from the rest of the rooms. For example, you can give it a jungle book theme with stuffed animals. You can use grafi on the walls that depict billowing white clouds. Use a crescent shaped moon as pillows. Have a bed sheet that gives the feel of a starry night in hues of pink and grey. If you are looking for a bold theme then you can have geometrical designs and shapes in the rug on the floor; this would also work well if you’re looking for baby boy room décor ideas.
Paint the walls or use wall paper
Walls, obviously are extremely important. Use subtle shades of conventional colors as those are mostly associated with calm and comfort. Also, use hardwood floor to give a classic touch to the nursery. Over the crib you can also hang pom pom mobiles or if you are into the theme of creating a dreamy nursery décor for your baby girl, then go for a hanging mobile with stars and crescent shaped moon hanging from the crib. These whimsical and playful details and a few pops of pastel and soft colours here and there can create the perfect nursery décor for baby girls.
A reclining or rocking chair for yourself
Parenthood requires a lot of patience, especially the first few months. You have to endure sleepless nights tending to the baby at odd hours. Since it’s not feasible to run and rush between two rooms at night, nursery décor is usually incomplete without a comfortable chair. Make sure the chair provides you good back support and also helps you to get up easily without disturbing your child. A reclining glider can do the job.
Modern Nursery Design Ideas
Functional wall art is one of the trendiest and modern nursery designs you can incorporate in your child’s nursery. You can cut out flowers, shapes and small animals. If you have cut out an elephant, you can give it a 3D effect. Stick the center using glue tags. Don’t stick the elephant’s ears and trunk. Fold the elephant’s ears in a way that it creates a 3D look.
Pay attention to finer details
The secret to having the best baby girl nursery décor is to pay attention to small details. Merely painting walls and placing a crib isn’t enough. Maybe you can paint a tree on the wall overlooking the crib. It will add more depth to the decor. Place a play gym somewhere near the cot. You can also display stuffed toys. Again, make sure it doesn’t look cluttered. This will also breathe new life into the nursery room.
Add a bookshelf
The best way to decorate any room is to add a bookshelf. In a nursery, you can easily include bedtime story books with colourful covers. Expert recommend reading aloud to your baby as it stimulates their developing senses. You can also make the bookshelf into a stylish piece of furniture by painting it with grey and blush pink tones.
Go minimalist
Minimalism is the new trend – even when it comes to nursery décor ideas. Go for a simple set-up. Select different hues of warm tones. Whites, pinks and greys work best for nursery décor for baby girls. Have a wallpaper with roses on one side of the wall. Keep the rest of the room simple. In a minimalist nursery, don’t buy a fancy looking crib. Explore options in furniture which are space saving and budget friendly. Flexible features, like wheels on the crib, are a plus, that allows you to do more with less. Maybe you do not need a bassinet for your bedroom, if you can move the crib from one place to another.
