How to use wall art and other nursery decor basics to get you started

Once you have your main room decor sorted, it’s time to personalise the space for your little one and create a warm and inviting room for you and your baby to snuggle, cuddle, sleep and play.

When designing a space pick a theme to make the space flow. Then use three textures to create interest:

1. Something hard will come from your nursery room furniture.
2. Something soft like baby blankets or plush toys like a giant Winnie the Pooh teddy.
3. Add texture with rattan furniture or decorate your nursery wall with wall decals, wall hangings and draped tassels and pompoms.

Soft night lights and other nursery ideas for your newborn

• Your nursery room should be a place of calm and nurturing. Achieve this through using a neutral colour scheme and reducing clutter in your baby nursery decor.
• Add in mood lighting like a soft night light and make sure the room lighting is easily adjusted so your baby can sleep through the day.
• Having soft toys and furnishings will make the room inviting.
• Keep everything you need easily at hand including baby blankets to keep your little one snug and secure as you nurse or cuddle them for comfort.

3 ideas to make your nursery decor interactive and playful - without keeping your baby overly stimulated

When you design your baby nursery there’s a lot to consider, like how to make your baby nursery decor interactive and playful, while also keeping the room calm and restful. Well here are are a few tricks you can use to create an interactive and playful space.

1. Have a theme: Something interesting like the jungle, or a jungle animal such as the giraffe. You can build your room around this theme and add some great features such as beautiful wall art, and wall decor such as shelving and hooks.
2. Add textures into the room: Things that move and flow that your baby boy or baby girl can focus on and watch. Boho wall hangings, tassels and pom poms all make great additions to your baby’s nursery. So are mobiles hanging above the cot and change table.
