Infant and Baby Needs

A master list of all the decorating options for your baby's nursery. Before you start decorating, use this list to ensure that no nursery decorating options are overlooked.

Wall Hangings: There are a number of different choices for wall hangings in your nursery. Check out some of these more popular options.

Framed Photos: It seems obvious but you can take a few different directions when using framed photos as a wall hanging in your baby's nursery. You can frame photos of family or you can frame images that match the nursery theme. For instance, if you are decorating for a teddy bear theme, you can find free images in the internet of teddy bears and frame them. Remember to arrange the frames tastefully, perhaps in a square of four frames.

Wall Art: Searching handmade goods websites can easily turn up affordable art for the baby's nursery. Check out the most prominent websites that sell handmade goods and search for hand painted canvas appropriate for the baby's room.

Wall Stickers: The Internet provides parents with an endless supply of wall stickers for any nursery theme. Most sellers will offer customized versions that feature your child's name. It is often possible to get variations on size and color as well.

Crib Bedding: Many parents do not use crib bedding with infants and very young children. As children get older, it becomes a fantastic decorating option. Find crib bedding that matches the nursery theme you are using. If you are not using an explicit theme, get some good bedding that accents (but doesn't match exactly) the most prominent colors in the bedroom.

Rugs: Play rugs are a great idea for the baby's nursery since they protect the carpet from high traffic and spills and offer parents another feature to contribute to the nursery decor. Remember that bathroom rugs often feature child themes and fit nicely in the nursery.

Minor Decorations and Accents: There are a number of different smaller accents that can really bring the room together. Consider some of the options below for those finishing touches.

Light Switch Covers: Light switch covers are an often-overlooked decoration that kids love. Search on major retailer websites as well as handmade websites to find the light switch cover that matches your nursery color scheme.

Drawer Pulls: Most drawer pulls are hand painted, making them expensive. If you are searching for that last little bit of flair, you may want to consider swapping out your regular drawer pulls for some that would better match your nursery theme.

Night Lights: Every nursery needs a night-light. There are many night lights you can find in retail outlets or online that would add great decoration to any nursery. This is probably the decoration that you have the most freedom with matching. Since it's down near the floor and serves a practical function, many parents don't find it necessary that this component matches directly to the rest of the room.

Use this list to get started decorating your own nursery.
