Nursery
Design 101
The
reality that you are now expecting a baby has finally set in, and
all of a sudden, panic strikes. Not because you will soon be giving
birth but because you have to plan a nursery! There are so many
choices out there that the whole idea can be overwhelming. Do not
fret! Baby Cakes & The Little Red Barn are here for you every step
of the way offering free in home design appointments, paint color
selections, furniture, fabric bedding & every accessory your nursery
may need. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
-
Choose your inspiration. Whether it is a great vintage baseball
mitt, a piece of art that was in your mothers room when she was a
baby or a grouping of colors that you have always loved together,
come up with something to get you motivated & to start building
upon.
-
Set your budget. By no means do you have to break the bank to
create a dream nursery. Choosing double duty furniture such as a
changer/dresser is a great place to save space and cash!
-
To theme or not to theme! Themes can easily be overdone. This is
the perfect example of when less is more! Vintage cowboy, classic
nursery rhymes & shabby chic florals are all fantastic options
when done correctly.
-
Bedding is a great way to accent wall art or to introduce your
nursery theme.
-
Choose your paint colors according to your inspiration & fabric
choices. A chair rail is an inexpensive way to bring a great
custom touch to your nursery. It allows you to bring in multiple
colors tastefully.
-
Once the room is painted, get the furniture and bedding in and
start accessorizing!
-
IMPORTANT TIP! Order furniture early. If anything takes a while,
it will be your furniture! A crib, changer/dresser & nursery
glider are the essentials if room permits.
