A simple way to decorate is to go with a bed set (even though they are kinda a waste of money). You can buy just about everything for a nursery that matches exactly! </p> <p>We chose to pick a color palate and then decorate from there. We used some decals on the walls to brighten it up. </p> [attach=1506/12/m95no1.520x600.Modern-Zoo.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-know-nothing-about-decorating-a-nursery-help#post-266170 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 02:31:37 +0000 loveisstrange 266170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to redecorate the nursery for each child. The furniture will be passed down from kid to kid though, since the dresser was my FILs and the rocking chair was DH's great-grandma's. Once we had those 3 main pieces, I filled in with a small bookshelf and a little end table next to the rocking chair.</p> <p>The easiest way is to start with bedding. We did white furniture and her bedding is pink and brown with cherry blossoms. We then picked out curtains that matched (hers are white ruffles) and a rug to cover the ugly carpet. From there, you just look for accessories that fit in with the color scheme and art that you like. I love cupcakes, so she has several pieces in her room that are cupcake themed, even though they don't necessarily "match".</p> <p>We rent also, so we couldn't paint. A big decal might be an easy way for you to fill up wall space and make a big impact without a lot of effort. Etsy has a TON. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-know-nothing-about-decorating-a-nursery-help#post-266161 Wed, 22 Aug 2012 01:08:55 +0000 coruscations 266161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see so many beautiful nurseries here and oh how I wish I could do that too. I am not decorating-inclined. I can't even pick a theme or color scheme because... I just don't care that much? To give you an idea of what I mean, our wedding had no "colors" and no flowers or decorations of any kind. I'm completely oblivious to that stuff, and my husband is even more oblivious than I am. Now, I really want to care about decorating the nursery, and I really want our daughter to have a beautiful and well-put-together room, but I don't know how. If I see something I can tell whether I like it or not, but I just wouldn't know where to start. </p> <p>We're renting so we can't paint or do anything to the walls. And there is light blue wall-to-wall carpeting in the room that I'm not a huge fan of. We have the crib and dresser set up, and I'm looking for a rocking chair, and I just don't know what to do next. Any tips on how to get started? </p> <p>Other questions that have popped up: What happens when the baby outgrows the nursery? Should I pick artwork and decorative items that will stay with her as she grows? Or, since we're planning to have more children, should we decorate the nursery once now and keep all the same items for future babies? </p>
