BIRCH TREE
Classic Cole & Son black-and-white birch tree wallpaper lines the walls to create a storybook feel. An oversized floor lamp and a stuffed giraffe add a touch of whimsy, while a few subtle pops of colour on accessories and bedding add warmth to the neutral tones of the room.
AN ACCENT WALL
The accent wall in this baby room design adds a touch of dimension and intrigue to the design. It’s also a great way to dabble in a bit of colour, particularly if you are afraid to commit to painting the whole nursery with a bold colour.
The Best Nursery Colours To Pick
What are the best colours to choose when decorating a nursery?
Your decorative tastes aside, this is psychologist and wellbeing consultant, has to say about how bedroom colour ideas can influence everything from mood to physical wellbeing:
When shopping for that nursery colour scheme, we are so often drawn in by the loving details, the delicate patterns, and the neutral colours. In our minds, we are looking to create a place of serenity for our precious bundle of joy.
There is another consideration to think about when selecting the best bedroom colours for your nursery ideas, and that is how the psychology of colour can impact on feelings and behaviour’s.
The Best Nursery Colours Work For An Easy Transition From Baby To Child
In terms of colour choices for your nursery ideas, neutral shades are very popular as these will make the transition from baby to toddler seamless. They also work brilliantly with other rooms in your home,’ says Cydney Ball, assistant buyer of nursery at John Lewis.
Neutral shades also have the advantage of working well for gender neutral nursery ideas, and are a blank canvas for a whole host of decorative options.
You can use accessories to add character, which can be easily updated as your baby grows rather than having to redecorate the whole room. Fun and playful prints have also been hugely popular.
It’s also worth considering the position of the room. If it’s North facing, you may want to decorate with warm and bright colours to keep the room feeling cozy and inviting.
Don’t feel you have to opt for one colour either: using various tones of the same colour gives the space depth, or pull-out key colours from your chosen bedroom wallpaper ideas.
Picking Lighting For Nursery Rooms
Soft lighting tends to be preferred for this space, and there are some lovely fairy light options to add a little night time magic to a nursery. A soft night light will prevent you stumbling around in the dark during those night time feeds and a small reading lamp will make bedtime stories much easier to read. There are some really fun children’s bedrooms lighting ideas available, such as dinosaur lamps or shark pendants, which add character to the space and are sure to be popular with children for years to come,’ concludes Cydney Ball. Or, of course, you can also pick eye-catching bedroom ceiling light ideas – such as a central pendant that hits all the interior trends you want it to, but which is colourful and bright for your baby, too.
