One Look That Will Grow With Your New Baby

When you find out you are expecting your first child many feeling run through your head. One may be the design of the nursery. You then may want to consider trying to theme the room around something which can grow with the child. This will allow you to spend less down the road remodeling the room once your child grows up. You want something which will last quite a few years and won’t need to be maintained when that time comes to rearrange the look and design.

The nursery is not going to be a nursery forever, so pick a theme that can be easily changed. Try a theme like the night sky. It is easy to do and can be used along with many themes. First paint the walls a dark blue. Then add smoky gray clouds in by ragging (using a wadded up rag to dab) on a medium gray paint in a circular pattern. Add glow in the dark stars and you have a night time sky. How do you make this look nice in a baby’s room? Well it is all about the accessories. For a nursery you should add a bed time theme.

Place soft, sleeping bears all over the room and add a moon’s silhouette on the ceiling for a “Good Night, Moon” theme. You could also look for nursery rhyme decor to match the “Hey Diddle, Diddle” poem. It would be precious to paint a cow jumping over the moon in the night sky!

The carpet may be the focal point, especially once your child is on the go. You want to choose one which is soft and comfortable since they’ll spend most of their time on the floor. Try a dark blue rug to tie the sky theme in and also in case of any accidental spills that may occur.

As you know, children grow and so do their imaginations and decisions come out of the wood work. With the sky themed room it’s easy to change around for an older child as they grow. Try introducing the solar system. Taking out the “Hey Diddle Diddle” decor and adding a science feel will make it more appealing for their age group as they grow.

The teenage stage is usually the pickiest stage. Of course they know what they want no matter what you want to do with the room. Try introducing them into the black light. You can purchase paint which will reflect the awesome colors under this lighting and also great decor to add in their room.

Try creating a room which is versatile with many age groups. This will save you time and money in the long run.

Baby Room Design has never been so easy with these baby area rugs.
