For many first time parents, decorating a nursery or child’s room can be a daunting task. Although the theme may be easy to determine, executing your vision may seem out of reach. However, by utilizing butterfly room décor, there are a few simple steps to ensure a happy, welcoming room for your daughter.
The first step is to decide on an overall color scheme. Butterfly rooms are available in almost any color desirable, and can be customized to your unique tastes. Some common choices for youth are pink and purple combinations, blues, greens, or yellows. When choosing a color scheme, consider if you are looking for multi-colored room accents, or a monochromatic room with differing shades of the same base color.
Once you have selected the overall color scheme, you can determine what shade is appropriate for painting the walls. It is usually best to utilize one color for most of the walls with a second, darker color for baseboards and trim. Remember to select a color that will be soothing on the eyes in both natural and artificial lighting, and that will not age too readily or show dirt. Home improvement experts can help you narrow your choices and choose a paint that will be washable and non toxic around small children. Once the walls are painted, you can find butterfly stencils or wall stickers at most home improvement stores to add to the overall appeal of the space. Place wall decor evenly throughout the room with an editing eye so you can offer other embellishments later.
Once furniture is placed back in the room, start with selecting appropriate butterfly bedding. Crib covers and comforters are available with small and large print butterflies, and many of these come with complimenting bed skirts, pillow shams, curtains and sheets. As the bed is a primary focal point for most bedrooms, let your imagination run wild to get the most visual impact possible! Curtain rods with butterfly adornments are also available in the window treatment aisle.
You may then begin adding accessory items to the room. Butterfly room décor can easily be found at major retailers in the children’s’ or infant’s section. Lamps, outlet covers, switch faceplates, decorative butterfly plush’s, and mobiles are just a few examples of butterfly themed items you can elect to use. Some complimentary items would be bumblebee, caterpillar, ladybug, and cloud style pieces. By interspersing a few different accent pieces you can provide a balanced look to the room.
If the thought of completing the decorations on your own is still overwhelming, furniture stores are commonly providing decoration bundles where the furnishings, bedding, and accent items can be purchased all at once. While this will eliminate some of the unique qualities of picking items separately, bundle purchases can make selection easier and allow you to focus on completing painting and other home repair items.
For welcoming a new addition into your home, butterfly room décor offers a carefree, nontraditional choice. Available in all price points from a variety of merchants, even inexperienced decorators can incorporate this style with ease and enjoy the atmosphere of levity for years to come.
