It’s time to decorate your nursery! But you don’t want to stick to the same-old, same-old. Instead, you want an Instagram-worthy nursery. It won’t just serve as a space for sleep but also a set for many baby photoshoots.
You’re sure to have seen some incredible nurseries online, and now you want to make your own. Where should you start? Read on to find out exactly what you need to create a nursery that will be a hit with your baby as well as your social media followers.
A fun theme.
Before you start decorating your nursery, choose a theme for the design. This will help keep the style of the room consistent. The more you stick to your theme, the greater impact your nursery’s aesthetic will have.
When it comes to themes, you can either follow the prevailing trends or go your own way. The most popular Instagram nursery trends at the moment include safari, watercolours, the forest, dinosaurs, and rainbows.
Feeling uninspired by the most popular ideas? You could always try something a little different; that’s bound to attract attention! Maybe your nursery could have a circus, travel, or “under the sea” theme.
You can always base your nursery on a beloved book or movie, too.
A cute colour palette.
Some colour schemes will come naturally once you’ve chosen your theme. Safari-style nurseries will use lots of earthy tones, and rainbow rooms will incorporate all kinds of bright colours.
For others, you’ll have to select the shades you want to use. You might want to check out Pinterest for suggestions if you’re unsure which colours work well together. Try out different options using paint and fabric swatches until you find the perfect combination.
You might choose colours that complement one another for a chic, understated aesthetic, or you might choose vibrant, contrasting colours to create a dramatic effect. It’s up to you!
A show-stopping sleeping space.
Just because this is the practical part of the room doesn’t mean it can’t be pretty. Childrens beds don’t have to be boring. These days, they come in many different exciting styles.
You can even make the bed match the theme of the room if you’re really committed! Yes, beds shaped like cars, castles, aeroplanes, and hot air balloons are available. Instagram will be amazed when you put this show-stopping sleeping space on display!
Pick the ideal crib or bed for your nursery from the varied range of frames and colours available and you can make it a focal point of the room instead of just another piece of furniture.
Beautiful bedding.
You need more than a fabulous bed frame when you’re creating an Instagram-worthy nursery. You also need some beautiful children's bedding that looks and feels good for your little one.
Make sure you stick to your theme and your colour scheme for maximum aesthetic appeal - but look for high-quality fabric that’s soft and comfortable on your child’s skin too.
Wonderful wall art.
You can take your decoration to the next level by including some wall art that matches your theme. Imagine a space-themed room painted with stars and planets or a safari-themed space with walls covered in wild animals.
If you’re talented enough, you may be able to do this yourself. Stencils are available online that make it easier for anyone to paint a mural. Alternatively, you can hire professionals to perform the task for you.
Why not think outside of the box and paint designs on the ceiling too? After all, your child is going to spend a lot of time looking up there. With a little thoughtful planning, you can make stepping into the nursery feel like immersing yourself in a magical world!
Fancy furniture.
For a nursery with aesthetic appeal, you don’t want it to be crowded with furniture – especially if it’s a small space. However, you definitely need some smart storage. Nothing ruins the look of a room like clutter!
Babies need a changing space for sure, and you’ll want to incorporate a nursing station if possible. Look for a statement chair that will both stand out and let you sit down in comfort with your little one.
If your child has toys that match the theme of the room, why not make them work for you by displaying them in style? Put them on shelves where they can look great when they’re not being played with by your baby.
Now you know what’s needed to create an Instagram-worthy nursery, you can get started on your own. We look forward to seeing it on social media soon!
