Nursery Decorating Ideas

Tons of nursery decorating ideas right here waiting to inspire you! Decorating a baby's room is an incredibly satisfying project, especially when you enter that "nesting" stage where you have sudden boundless energy to paint the ceiling at 3:00AM. (Please note: this may not be as much fun for your partner when you are ordering them around at 3:00AM, "Move that chair..." "No, try it on the other side of the room...") but I digress. Nursery! Decorating! So much fun!

If you are on a limited budget, not to worry because so am I! I'm not even going to suggest you buy that $4000 crib with the $1000 crib sheet set, there are plenty of websites that will give you those "helpful" suggestions. These tips and projects are for the folks who want the $$$ style on a limited budget and are willing to roll up their sleeves and get a little creative. This is where the fun begins!

Non-Permanent Wall Nursery Decorating Ideas - These ideas are especially for those of you who can't paint directly onto the walls because you are renting or are planning to move eventually. Really lovely nursery decorating ideas that can easily be altered, changed or simply taken down as the child grows and their interests change.

Cheap Nursery Wall Art - This is a wonderful way to cover and decorate a large space without doing a permanent mural or spending any money on art! Instructions on how to enlarge an image online for free. Pick a photograph, art or children's book illustrations to match your theme.

DIY Decorating With Letters - Instructions for making wood letters, fabric sewn letters and decorating pre-made wooden letters on the cheap for the wall and for shelves. These projects are very versatile. Use them for initials, monograms, baby's name, alphabet theme or even spell out a favorite quote from a children's book.

Cardboard Playhouse Plans - This is of course something for baby to have a blast in when they grow older, but it also works as a wonderful accent piece in a nursery! Plus it is cheap to make, using just plain cardboard boxes, duct tape and paint. Paint it to match your own house, your baby's room theme or the color scheme in the room. It also becomes a great place to stash toys!
