Inspiring Nursery Design
Creating the perfect nursery can be a fun and rewarding experience. Whether you like vintage styles or contemporary flares, creating the nursery that you want can also be challenging. Use these tips to gain insight on how to pull different styles together, how to save money, and how to keep the nursery functional all at the same time. You’ll be designing the nursery of your dreams in no time!
First, do your research. Go shopping specifically for inspiration. You can search the internet for things that get your creative juices flowing. Visiting antique shops, high end boutiques, and even craft stores can help you to form an idea of what your nursery theme should be.
Keep an eye out for things that make you feel a certain way. Keep a list or photographic record of inspiring items. Make a note of what you liked about each piece. It could be a lamp, some wall paper, a piece of fabric, a picture frame, a chair, pretty much anything. Remember, you’re not necessarily looking for nursery items, just inspiration for styles, themes and colors.
Once you choose your favorite something, you can let it lead you into making other decisions. Let’s say that you found a picture frame with bold colors and pewter accents. Take it with you while you shop and decide which pieces of furniture, bedding and décor go with it. Having a visual in your hand will eliminate any guessing that can result in returns later.
Combining styles can be tricky, especially if the two styles are on opposite ends of the spectrum. However, if you do it right, it can have a really attractive effect. For example, mixing contemporary modern furniture with vintage accents and décor. You might initially think that your grandmother’s owl lamp looks odd with the sleek crib you’re in love with. The trick to combining two styles is to marry them together with a few key pieces and focus on balance.
Vintage designs can be made to look modern with paint and accessories. The opposite is true for modern pieces. Adding a vintage fabric or finding picture frames that are vintage, yet match the contemporary pieces will help you to connect the two. One last trick to connecting styles is to paint. Choose something in the room that both styles share. It could be throw pillows or curtains. Whatever you see in the room that makes you feel like it really brings the two styles together. Now, choose a color from that palate and paint. The subtle background will help to draw all of the pieces in the room together, completing your theme.
An interesting nursery should be set off with details. Don’t neglect lighting fixtures, light switches, door knobs, and window trimmings. Even the closet can be updated to reflect the style. Children’s hangers come in so many styles and colors that you’re bound to find one that you love. <a href=”http://www.onlykidshangers.com”title=”Infant Hangers”>Infant hangers</a> and baby hangers can dress up an otherwise boring closet and help you complete your nursery.
