Nursery Creation 101: The Dos and Don'ts to Keep in Mind!

Before beginning your DIY nursery project, it’s essential to identify what you should and should not do. Having a clear mind and design plan from the beginning prevents future crises from unfolding and taking the fun out of your nursery creation.  

Do’s

  • Family Memorabilia
  • Simple Color Palette & Decor
  • Mapped-out Floor Plan

Don’ts

  • Go Overboard With A Theme
  • Have A Design That Can’t Grow With Your Baby
  • Forget About Noise, Air, & Light Control

It’s also important to remember this nursery is not only for your baby, but also for you! 

By minimizing the “don’ts” and maximizing the “do’s,” you’re on the path to creating an environment that nurtures your baby and rejuvenates you.  

Cool Nursery Ideas for Your Baby Girl

After you’ve contemplated the budget for the nursery, measured the room's dimensions, and reviewed the “do’s” and “don’ts,” you’re ready for the fun part. 

It’s time to decorate and design your nursery!

Don’t Default to Pink, Get Creative With Color

If you have been waiting your whole life to decorate your daughter’s nursery with pink hues, go for it! However, if you want to mix things up, there are a variety of neutral colors for babies that can bring your nursery to life

Green accents can be a beautiful addition to your nursery for a baby girl. Shades like emerald and mint can add definition to a room and extend pops of color! 

Similarly, purple is another charming choice. Just a shade deeper than pink, purple is a gorgeous feminine color

Luckily, there are no rules in nursery design! Try neutral tones alongside colorful decor and toys if you can't decide on a color. 

Flower Pop Accents and Decals     

Who doesn’t love flowers? Although incorporating real flowers can be enchanting, it only takes a couple of days for the aroma to fade and the petals to fall. 


Luckily, there are beautiful alternatives!

Faux floral accents are an elegant addition to a nursery. Thankfully, there are many paper flowers and realistic fake plants that you can find online. 

The addition of flowers can bring warmth and relaxation to the nursery. Flowers and plants can help balance the room's aesthetic by softening the overall look and feel.

The best part of using faux flowers is that they’re super versatile. If you grow tired of them in the nursery, you can always move them to different places around the house.   

You can’t go wrong!

If you’re a fan of paint and find yourself changing the wall color every couple of weeks, murals and wallpaper are for you. 

Floral murals and wallpaper of neutral colors can complement a baby girl’s nursery walls beautifully. These wall accents bring elegance and sweetness to the room. 

Moreover, the simple tones of murals and wallpaper are a great option for a design that grows with your baby, making them last for years!

Unique, Splashy Art      

The minimalism trend has skyrocketed in recent years, prioritizing bright whites and neutral tones. If your dream design aligns with minimal tastes, find pops of color with wall art!

Splashy paintings, pictures, and prints can add color to even the most minimal and modern nurseries. A cost-effective part of contemporary art is that it can be used in multiple areas of the house in case you decide to redecorate the nursery. 

Colorful modern art can set your nursery apart from others. Even art with pastel or rainbow tones can be a fun addition to the room.   

Eye-Catching Light Fixtures        

Who said planning for light control in your baby’s nursery had to be boring?

Implement a statement light fixture to bring sophistication to the room and, at the same time, enable controlled lighting from wall to wall. 

An eye-catching chandelier or modern fixture can deliver tasteful class to any nursery

The addition of decor like a modern light fixture, as opposed to a cartoon lamp, for example, can add a touch of maturity to the room, which can help ease any new parent who feels like they’re going down a baby rabbit hole. 

Don’t forget that the nursery is also for you!

Delicate Textiles and Fabrics        

Nothing adds soft definition to a nursery like light and delicate fabrics and textiles. Fabrics like lace, satin, and cotton are often grabbed first because of their airy look and feel. 

Delicate textiles and fabrics can also add definition to corners of the room and enable air control for parents. Most importantly, these dainty materials can make a nursery look and feel deliciously cozy.
