Nursery Furniture Decoration

Parents have plenty of options before them when they decorate their baby's nursery furniture. Although traditional decorative elements like nursery rhymes are popular, in 2010, parents are also gravitating toward less "baby-like" themes. Many themes hold potential as decorative motifs.
  1. Decorate Style

    • Decorative style consists of common colors, visual motifs, furnishings and accessories that set that style apart from another. For example, if you've chosen Southwestern theme for your baby's room, you'd choose common Southwest colors, like dusty blue and rose. Visual motifs you might include in this decorative style include ponies, horseshoes or bandanna patterns.

    Types

    • Decorative elements available run the gamut from something simple like a good coat of paint to decorative stenciling, wall decal scenes from nursery rhymes or storybooks, or the addition of decoupage designs to the baby's furniture.

    Potential

    • Any piece of baby furniture has the potential to feature these decorative elements. As long as it possesses enough work space, some sort of decorative motif should fit. This means that the ends of the baby's crib, dressers, changing tables or rocking chairs all become a palette on which parents can create art.
