SHARING SECRETS.......THE D.I.Y. BABY NURSERY

A REALLY GREAT NURSERY.......

YES, YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF! 

Pssst......Here's some straight talk from Baby Decorator. You can create your very own "designer" nursery, if you stick to a few guidelines.  The secret to designing any great room is to choose a theme and follow it up with a design scheme.   
Here's a few hints on how to DIY!


Build themes around what children love like fairytales and toys, tutus for ballerinas and dinosaurs for boys.


When planning, choose just one strong element to make the room looked pulled together.  The one thing that matters is that even if you've borrowed the crib, inherited the glider, found a thrift shop changing table, while you are nesting pull it all together with one unifying element. That can be paint, or one printed fabric used for the bumper, crib skirt, and window treatments. Just choose one decorative element and carry it throughout the nursery. 

A BABY BOY LIVES HERE!

Color is the theme for this nursery, and the scheme chosen was grey and white with accents of "I love you" red. Grey is a neutral color palette for a contemporary nursery, but by no means is it somber because it is highlighted everywhere with what we call valentine red. A neutral color makes a great backdrop for a modern nursery. It can be grey, beige, ivory, sweet pea green, banana yellow. The trick to making it fun and lively is to choose an accent color with zing. 
Cool grey makes a great backdrop for the pizzazz of red pillows, painted birdies on the baseboard, and on small details throughout the nursery. 

A BABY GIRL LIVES HERE!

Having a girl but don't want a "girlie" nursery? We just did a nursery in the palest of beiges shot through with accents of tomato red for a baby girl whose mom wanted a nursery designed with clean lines and a contemporary feel, i.e. no fuss, no muss. But she'd inherited the crib which was a bulky style in a darkened brown wood. What to do to brighten up the space? We made everything around it pale in such fun contrasting beige and red that the somber crib disappeared in the happy mood.
