- 1). Paint the walls of the nursery a calming color. Choose yellow or green for gender neutral or stick with pale pink or blue for a more traditional look. An eggshell or satin finish will allow for ease of cleanup.
- 2). Choose flooring for the nursery. Wood floors are popular, go well with just about any decor and last a long time. Carpeting provides a soft touch underfoot and can help to buffer noise.
- 3). Decorate the walls with wall art. This can be as simple as framed family photos in matching frames or 3-D soft sculptural art. Pick a theme such as balloons and incorporate balloon art into the nursery. This theme works well for both boys and girls.
- 4). Coordinate bedding to match the wall color or complement it. For instance, if the nursery walls are soft yellow, choose lavender or purple linens for a nice contrast. Pink walls can pair with soft chocolate-colored bedding. Blue walls for boys pair well with patriotic red, white and blue.
- 5). Choose nursery furniture that is functional. Choose a crib that converts later on to a small child's bed. This will save money when it comes time to transfer a growing toddler into a bed. Look for multipurpose furniture such as bookshelves or armoires, which can hold toys as well as bedding and clothing.
