Decorating the nursery

Decorating a nursery can be a fun experience if you approach it in the right way. For example, it's only common sense that you need to select furniture according to the amount of space available. You can opt for adjustable furniture that can expand as the child grows, such as a four-drawer dresser that doubles as a changing table when you add a cushion on top. It's nice for a nursery to have attractive furniture, but it must also be strong and safe. And it's only natural for parents to want their newborn to be surrounded by a calm, comfortable environment. Comfy fabrics, soft colours and natural materials are perfect elements for any nursery. Even newborns can benefit from today's interior decorating trends! This year's trends are warm earth tones. Pastel shades are also extremely popular, but these can easily be jazzed up by adding a few fun motifs. Animals are hot items this year, and are great additions to a nursery. In fact, animals are always popular with children and can be found on anything and everything, including comforters, curtains, wallpaper and accessories. And don't forget to add a few stuffed animals to decorate the room! But animals aren't your only option. The latest Zen influence is also making it to the nursery. Some nurseries are decorated in the Japanese style and even boast bonsai trees! When it comes to deciding on furniture, wood is by far the most popular option. Cribs, toy storage bins, changing tables and dressers can either be painted or varnished. The best thing about wood is that it can easily be adapted to any style. And since the trend in bedding is for very pale shades, you can get away with darker shades for your wooden furniture.
