Nursery Décor and Decorating Tips for your Baby Girl
Baby Bedding - 4 Piece Pink Paisley Crib Set Review
There is just something about baby girls! If this is your first, you are in for a treat. From planning nursery décor to shopping for clothes, your choices are not only limitless but enchanting as well. The designs and color options you have available to choose from make this an exciting journey and there is no doubt that you will enjoy every minute of it.
Planning your nursery décor is probably the first step you will take. Baby girl bedding comes in wonderful styles and designs that will work in any nursery setting. Angel baby bedding designs are particularly popular, such as the one designed by Soho called "Angelica Bouquet". In the pretties soft pink and white design you've ever seen it is available in a comforter, dust ruffle, fitted crib sheet, bumper pad and matching valances, diaper stacker and baby pillow. You can create your whole room around this design.
When buying baby bedding and baby quilts, be sure and buy those made from quality fabrics that are machine washable and made of 100% cotton. The baby's comfort depends on it and the wash and wear factor is a necessity for the new mom and dad.
Planning the décor for your new baby girl nursery doesn't dictate that you only consider baby girl bedding. You may enjoy a more neutral color such as yellow or natural colors. Bebe Star has a four piece organic cotton crib set that has a tan background with cream colored lambs that is just adorable. Create a calm environment for your new baby using a neutral shade. This set includes a crib skirt, comforter, crib bumper and crib sheet.
Organic baby bedding has become a popular option for many new parents. All the materials used to make the bedding are grown without the use of pesticides or chemicals and are made of pure, natural cotton. The colors are soft and the dyes used will not have any harmful effects on your child.
Once you have chosen the baby girl bedding for your nursery, you can begin the decorating process. If you are turning a spare room into a nursery and need to paint, choose a color that compliments your bedding selection and acts as a foil. The crib bedding itself can provide the focal point for the room if you want one.
If you are interested in keeping your infants room natural and organic, choose a low VOC paint to paint the walls and furniture. According to Consumer Reports, Olympic Premium and Benjamin Moore Aura have the lowest VOC levels of all the paints they tested. VOC stands for volatile organic compounds. VOCs have been linked to memory impairment, respiratory illnesses and contribute to smog and ozone formation.
After your nursery has been painted and your baby girl bedding purchased you can continue to add decorating and essential items to the room as you wait for the arrival of the baby and even beyond. Wall decorations, mobiles and stuffed animals can make a nursery more inviting and interesting to the child. Most infants enjoy watching a mobile that is attached to their changing table as they are having their diaper changed.
A rocking chair is a must in a nursery and it is always nice to add a comfortable cushion in a fabric that matches or coordinates with the crib bedding. A small table next to the rocker and a nursery lamp with a built in nightlight is perfect for rocking and reading to the baby before bed. A baby quilt is a perfect item to drape over the back of the rocking chair to have on hand to cover the baby as you rock. Some of the most peaceful hours new moms have are while rocking their baby to sleep.
Finish the nursery for your new baby girl by adding window treatments or a mini blind. Honeycomb mini blinds will cut down on drafts during cold weather and sun during nap time. If you enjoy an open look that may be all you wish to add to the windows. But, if you want to add a little more color, choose a window topper or a valence made from the same fabric as your baby girl bedding.
When the room is done, relax and enjoy your accomplishment. Your new baby will be thrilled with it, just as you are and you will both enjoy it for months to come as you get to know one another and spend many hours together. A nursery can be a warm, relaxed and inviting room for both parents and baby.
