Enchanting nurseries: ideas for creating the perfect nursery for your little ones
Nurseries are the first rooms to be lived-in and enjoyed by our children, and obviously, we want to make them the most comfortable, beautiful, and safe places possible for them.
There are many ways to do this, depending on whether you want to customize the nursery for each child or if you want to go for something more generic. Let's take a look at some options, including ideas for nighttime lighting which are truly irresistible:
Neutral style for a nursery suitable for everyone
Traditionally, nurseries were usually decorated according to the gender of the newborn. But now there is a growing preference for neutral colors. As seen here, a neutral color palette can be very fetching.
The classic combination of white, beige, or taupe remains an ideal option for neutrally-styled nurseries that will have a timeless style.
Pastel shades of the rainbow for a fairytale nursery
On the other hand, there are those who prefer to be a little more "daring". Here's an example using pastel shades to form a rainbow. But these colors could easily be used for other decorative themes: jungles, space, pirates, magical castles, enchanted forests, and much more!
A nursery with an artistic touch: eclectic designs
If, on the other hand, you don't want to follow standard decorative themes, you can strike a compromise between the desire for an adult style and delicate colors suitable for children. This nursery, with a luxurious accent wall is elegant, but doesn't use colors that children might find overwhelming.
Here's a bold design by Janie Molster: light blue and white would be the traditional combination for any nursery, especially if intended for boys. But then the bold lines of a burgundy red are used to give an unexpected and decidedly original touch that instantly makes the room suitable for girls too!
This clever mix of white, black, and mustard is gender-neutral, and the polka dots on a monochrome surface strikes a perfect balance between style and cheerfulness.
There's no room for boredom in this "Colordrunk" design: a riot of colors and patterns that would stimulate anyone's imagination. Is there a risk of becoming overwhelmed? Perhaps, but maybe just changing curtains and cushions for more neutral ones would tone this style down.
Night lights in the nursery: useful and decorative
Almost all children find it challenging to sleep in complete darkness, and that's where night lights come in. Previously bland and boring, they are now found as cute decorations. Here's a cute one with an astronaut hanging from the moon.
To enhance the fairy-tale atmosphere of nightime in a nursery, there are also soft lights in the shape of clouds or moons - a very popular choice these days!
Have you chosen a theme for your nursery? Well, make sure the night lights fit the theme! For example, a room decorated to look like a forest, with trees on the walls like this one, is the perfect setting to use a night light in the shape of a birdhouse!
What would be the ideal nursery for you?
