How to Decorate With Bugs

Bug-themed decor will give a nursery or child's bedroom a charming, whimsical look. When planning the room's decorations, focus on just one type of insect, such as butterflies or ladybugs, or use a variety of bugs as creative inspiration. Bug-themed decorations will brighten up a space with vibrant colors and patterns, providing visual stimulation for babies and young children. For a customized style, incorporate some handmade items into the room design if you're crafty.

Instructions

- 1
  Paint the nursery or bedroom walls with a bug-inspired color, such as red for ladybugs or vibrant yellow for bees. Choose grass green or another natural, neutral color if you're decorating with a multiple bug theme.

  Choose bug-themed bedding. Use a fitted sheet featuring butterflies or bees in a baby's crib. Enhance a toddler's bed with ladybug-patterned comforter or quilt, topped with several insect-shaped throw pillows for a whimsical look.

  Add softness to hardwood floors with bug-shaped rugs. Place a large, plush butterfly-shaped rug in the center of the room or nursery as a focal point. Set out several bee- or ladybug-inspired rugs around the space as another option.

  Decorate with useful and eye-catching room accessories. Place a lamp featuring a carved wooden bee- or ladybug-shaped base on a nightstand or desk. Hang a child's clothing from hand-painted dragonfly and beetle-inspired wall hooks.

  Add interest to plain walls and furniture pieces, such as dressers, with stencils. Hold bug-shaped stencils against a wall or dresser in the desired location and create designs using acrylic paint.
