No offense to anyone that has one of these, but I can't stand those nurseries where everything matches. Like matching crib bumper with matching sheets and quilt, with matching curtain valance and matching wall hangings. I think it's awful!<br /> I also stayed away from any sort of characters (like Winnie the Pooh). I also don't like princesses or Disney themes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-themes#post-128684 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:00:44 +0000 Arden 128684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dislike all characters, as well as anything too girly or boyish. I prefer more neutral themes. Ruffles, tons of pink, cowboy or country themes, are just not my style.<br /> What is my style? Nurseries that are not a specific theme per say, or at least not overwhelmingly so. Muted, peaceful tones, not too much clutter or loud pieces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-themes#post-128661 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:41:23 +0000 Minnie_Girl 128661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like anything that isn't super extreme, or very themed at all! I'd like to have a nursery that suits my tastes, is elegant, and will grow up well with the child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-themes#post-128611 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:09:47 +0000 chopsuey 128611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not big on themes.

The coral paint we found is on the orangey side of things (be careful there is all I can say...there are a LOT of pink corals...) and it matches some of my accents perfectly. :) We do have a "theme" of sea creatures but it's not overwhelming, which is perfect to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-themes#post-128579 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 15:52:43 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 128579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One person's dreaded theme is another person's plan...

Sports, trucks, weird animals, Disney or Pooh characters. I like patterns for boys instead. </p> <p>I'm so picky, this carries over to clothing too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-themes#post-128567 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 15:48:08 +0000 sulli301 128567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do not like licensed characters in nursery themes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-themes#post-128528 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 15:26:02 +0000 PawPrints 128528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing licensed, nothing too childish or cartoony (the baby is not going to notice the decor, so I want a nursery that is attractive to an adult eye), and definitely nothing aligned with traditional gender roles. I'd love to give a boy a beautiful rose-colored nursery just to shake things up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-themes#post-128521 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 15:19:43 +0000 Modern Daisy 128521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, clowns?? Lol! I had a friend with a clown themed bedroom and it freaked me out. My bedroom was mickey mouse themed and I think my parents could have done better :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-themes#post-128516 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 15:12:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 128516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dislike any licensed characters, or animals.

Hops was shocked when I told him I didn't want her name on the wall. I think he did. :) I compromised and said i would make a door hanger for her door that has her name on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-themes#post-128448 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:19:25 +0000 BSB 128448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This isn't a theme but I'm not going to have my LO's name on the wall. I like a cute quote, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/least-favorite-themes#post-128444 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:17:30 +0000 yoursilverlining 128444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don’t like all pink and sparkly pretty Princess themes.

When you were planning your nursery or your child's room, were there any themes that you absolutely did not want? </p> <p>I've never been a fan of Winnie the Pooh. Maybe it's because I knew a girl in High School who would always wear sweatshirts and denim button down shirts with Pooh on them, but he's never been my most favorite character in the world.... </p>
