For every new parent, they have a vision of what the perfect nursery should look like. But really, is there any need for you to spend $2,000 in order to decorate and furnish a space that, in a couple years, they will have outgrown? In fact, you do not need to spend a fortune of decorating a nursery for that new arrival.
We will look at several different ways in which a nursery can be decorated no matter how small your budget is.
Instead of using wallpaper, paint the nursery instead. Why not choose colors which will coordinate with the baby’s toys, rather than going for the traditional colors? Also, why not invite friends and family round and get them to dip their hands into a pot of paint and place their handprints on the wall? They could even sign their names underneath if they want. Doing it this way, your baby will get to enjoy a brightly colored room full of contrasting patterns. This is of special appeal to young infants. Also, it is an interesting way of introducing them to those people who will be important in their life as they grow up.
You do not have to be artistically inclined, but if you want, why not add some stencil designs to the walls? This is inexpensive, as well as an easy way of adding different elements and features to a baby’s room. However, it is best to choose stencils which will match the theme of the room.
Where the floor is concerned, make sure that you have a stain resistant carpet, or just have hardwood floors with some scatter rugs on it. But if you already have carpet lay and you are worried that it may not stand up well, then why not get an area rug which will cover and protect it?
When you are decorating a nursery, why not consider buying some pieces secondhand or used instead? The advantage to this is that you may find items that are of a higher quality than you would normally purchase. Or it may be you find a vintage piece of furniture, which you can then refinish to match the décor of the nursery.
Why not get an old, beat up chest of drawers, and then paint with a high gloss paint, and then replace the handles on it?
