Decorating Styles For A Nursery
Planning on a decorating scheme for your nursery. What kind of furniture and accents to get. How to get the best furniture.
Decorating a nursery is both fun and frustrating. You want the perfect room for your baby, but how much can you afford to spend? There are so many things for the young parents-to-be to buy, such as furniture, bedding, lamps, wall decorations and curtains. The most important item is the baby furniture, and the largest part of the budget should be devoted to those items. Even if you are buying most items at discount to save money, make sure the crib is good quality and safe.
Scour garage sales or ask relatives and friends for decorating items. You may find a crib at a second hand store, but make sure it is sturdy and safe. A new crib is a safer bet, and you can find bargains at stores such as Walmart, or on line at sites such as http://overstock.com. You can usually find good bargains there. Graco, Century and Bassett baby furniture are usually higher priced, but if you shop their outlets, you can get good bargains. They often offer decorating ideas as well.
Baby Dream Furniture is an ideal choice for baby furniture on a budget. Their three hundred national stores offer a wide choice of good quality, reasonably priced furniture. If your budget is more liberal, you may want to consider Pali furniture. Classic and elegant baby furniture is available from this Italian manufacturer, but you may have to go on line to find a retailer near you. The Pali line specializes in classic designs such as Jenny Lind, which is very popular, but many other beautiful styles are available for a charming nursery.
Another popular brand for baby furniture is Delta. This line is known for combining good quality with practical form and function. Their products, which include bassinets, cribs, changing tables, toddler beds and carriages are meant to last years and years. Other good quality items that many parents like are the glider rockers, chairs and tables from the Jardine Baby Furniture company. They are value-priced, making them very popular.
After the important items such as furniture are chosen, you can start to pick the decorating items to coordinate with the furniture. Pick the basics such as crib, chest, changing table and a chair or rocker for mom and then you'll know what kind of bedding and accent pieces will go with them.

Ok fun question
How are you decorating your nursery?
I was just lucky enough to find out we’re having a little girl (Lilah Grace, yay!) So of course now im in overload thinking about decorating her nursery, among ten million other things.
How is everyone decorating theirs? Using a theme, color, style, etc?
Mine: Pink and Violet colors, with a White Pony theme (since we’re horse lovers and she already has her own pony named Little Bit).
Well we having a boy… Clifton Alan(cam).
His walls are a pastel blue with stars and moons… it’s little stickers that’s yellow, green, blue…all pastel. And the border at the top are the same stars. His crib bedding is baby sesame street with stars and moons.

I am having my first, a little boy. We are not really using specific colors (though sage, light blue, and brown keep popping up) but we decided to go with a monkey theme. We already have a couple stuffed monkeys, security blanky, blankets, wall hangings, clothing, etc.
Monkeys for my little monkey.
Love that you are offsetting the pink with Violet. I was going to use shades of purple if it was a girl, as I didn’t want to go with the traditional pinks.

we decorated with the Lambs & Ivy Baby Cocoa bedding (from babies r us) and painted the walls a light brown. we did the letters of his name in sage green and dark brown. i cannot wait for him to use his room!!
