Decorating and designing a nursery for a baby has turned into a much bigger production than it ever used to be. With the age becoming older for parents to be having babies, they also have more financial stability and therefore more money to put into the room for their bundle of joy. This has been highlighted quite a bit in recent years showing the elaborate nurseries complete with an expensive chandelier that celebrities are having designed for their babies. There are also special shows on cable that feature people designing babies' nurseries for couples. The current trend is actually quite a good one with parents wanting to have a room that will grow with the baby and can be used for many years from the colors, to the furniture and even the Quoizel lighting.
The traditional nursery paint colors of baby blue, soft pink and light yellow are not the colors that many people choose to paint for their child's nursery. A lot of parents are making the nursery be a continuation of the rest of the house with the color palette included. Creamy colors like cream and gold or the favorite combination of blue and chocolate have been popular choices for nurseries lately. Many expectant parents find out the sex of the baby and then decorate according to that but if you don't know or want it to be gender neutral, then using soothing greens, beiges and creams are a good choice.
If you are unsure of what color palette to decorate the baby's room then look for the fabric and the bedding for the crib first and that may determine the inspiration for the room. Having a cutesy theme is no longer popular and is considered outdated and sometimes tacky. If you wish to incorporate animals for example, it is now done in a more muted and sophisticated manner using "real" artwork, for example. Bedding for a nursery can be found in every price range and does not have to be expensive. If you are good at sewing or know a good seamstress, maybe you can make it yourself using beautiful fabrics.
The other thing that baby furniture manufacturers are now doing is making pieces that can be used for a baby and then be used differently as they grow older. For example, a crib can now be converted to be a full size headboard and footboard when the baby moves into a big bed. Also, a changing table can remove the pad and have it just be a nice looking dresser for many more years of use.
The finishing touches in a nursery are what complete the look and that would include the rug, the artwork, and the lighting. Having a nice plush, neutral area rug that will grow with the child is a great idea as well as lighting that you would also like to have in a bedroom for an adult. Baby girl's nurseries are being transformed into beautiful rooms complete with round cribs and crystal chandelier lighting.
