Twilite Moon's Tips on How to Create a Dream Nursery

t Twilite Moon, we think there are many ways to make a nursery stunning. There are no specific rules on how to achieve a great look in your baby’s room, but we do have some tips on how to  make your decorating process special and your room unique. After all, your baby is one-of-a-kind, so shouldn’t the nursery be, too?

Here are ideas on how to achieve your dream nursery:

Be True to Yourself and Your Sense of Style
Whatever your personal style may be - vintage, modern, traditional, rock and roll, or somewhere in between - make sure you keep this in mind when decorating baby’s room. Gone are the days where nurseries are either pink or blue and clad with teddy bears. Don’t settle for items or colors that don’t seem “you” just because you feel obligated to maintain a juvenile feel. There are no rules. Feel free to blend styles. Are you a little bit modern but also have a love for antiques? It’s okay to mix and match in your baby’s room - after all, your baby deserves to know all the different sides of you. Just because you are drooling over a modern crib doesn’t mean you can’t use your grandmother’s heirloom rocker. The more eclectic the room, the more individualized and special it will be.

Personal Touches
Incorporate something personal into the nursery. Chances are, you’re going to have a lot of new furnishings (a crib, changing table, rocker, etc.), so we think it’s key to incorporate something from your past into this revamped space. One idea is to frame a special outfit from when you, or your partner, were little. A Christening gown, an old holiday outfit, or just an old romper hiding in an attic could all be precious if simply cleaned and framed in a shadow box. Or tear an illustration from your favorite childhood story to create some immediate nostalgia. Incorporating something from your past is a great conversation piece and can add the perfect amount of vintage flair to your nursery. Not your first baby? An older bro’ or sis’ can also add their personal touch to the room. They can create a special drawing for the baby that you can frame nicely to welcome the newest addition. This way, older siblings feel involved in the process.

Color You You!
When it comes to picking the color palette for the room, choose a palette that makes you feel great. You don’t have to choose pale pink, baby blue, or mellow yellow just because they’re considered more traditional. You’re going to spend a lot of time in the nursery, so you want it to be a place that makes you feel comfortable. We adore everything from rich shades of mocha and brown, to bright, vibrant blues and turquoises. Whatever palette you choose, make sure it makes you happy and feels true to who you are.
