You can even get more creative by hanging nylon butterflies from ribbon just a few feet from the ceiling. Make sure that the ribbon lengths hang only 1-2 feet from the ceiling so has to be a safe distance from little bodies running past them.

You can also attach mini nylon butterflies onto mirrors and wall hangings around the room or place them on top of curtains to appear as though the butterflies have landed for a spell or two. My favorite idea is to actually tie back the curtains using a nylon butterfly or a nylon ladybug.

Just because your child’s room happens to be a butterfly room, doesn’t mean you have to stick with only nylon butterflies. You can also decorate the room using colorful nylon dragonflies, nylon ladybugs or even making a few butterflies stand out by purchasing a few silk butterflies. Silk butterflies will also add shimmer and brilliance to your child’s room.

Available in a vast array of colors and sizes, nylon butterfly decorations are used in nurseries, wedding and baby showers, libraries, window ornaments, corporate events, table settings and much more.  From glittery pink butterflies to sedate brown monochromatic representations, these versatile creatures are being put to many uses.

The most common is a nylon fabric stretched artistically over a wire frame, attached to a wall or ceiling, to present an image of a butterfly in flight.  Many sizes are available, the most common of which are 7” x 5” to 13” to 8”.  Prices are reasonable and depend on the ornamentation of the butterfly.  Basic fabrics alone start around $5 each, whereas exquisitely jeweled or sequined butterflies may be upwards of $25.  To accommodate those with a desire for multiple decorations, bulk pricing is also frequently offered on most sites.

Nylon butterfly decorations are also used for curtain tie backs and message board centers.  The predominant color schemes of these items are purple, pink, and blue. These items are targeted more towards young girls than adults.  Many college dorm themes also utilize these nylon butterflies to add emphasis to mirrors and ceilings.  Mundane items, such as pen holders or fan pulls, can have a small butterfly added to them for a sense of whimsy, femininity, and freedom.

However, adults do have choices as well.  Nylon butterfly flags are available for the garden, and the nylon butterflies used indoors for younger girls can be added to an outdoor scene without appearing too juvenile.  Many vendors offer darker and neutral colors for this purpose.

Parties and gatherings held outdoors can easily incorporate butterfly décor as well.  Garden parties, wedding showers, baby showers, or company picnics can find small scale nylon butterflies to place in bouquets or hang on shrubs.  For butterfly themed parties for young girls, nylon wings and dress up kits are also available.  Some vendors even offer the option to allow the participants to add their own jewels or glitter to create a personalized effect.

Nylon butterfly decorations are primarily available through online vendors.  While most merchants offer free shipping when orders exceed certain preset dollar limits, the consumer will need to plan ahead to accommodate shipping and handling time.  The average shipping time will be at least five to seven business days.  For any items that will be affixed to a wall, it is also important to ensure the items necessary to hang the piece are included.  If not, a separate purchase may be needed.  Most vendors that do not include fixtures will have them available for a modest fee.

Whether intended as a long term decoration, or a one time party accent, these nylon beauties are a budget friendly way to add levity and vibrant color to any activity.  By viewing the available products a consumer can quickly find the perfect piece for their needs, and is sure to make an impression upon any guests at their home or event.

There are a few different types of decorative wall options.  The first would be stenciling butterflies directly onto the wall.  To achieve the maximum impact, try working with the same style design with stencils in different sizes throughout the wall.  If you are looking for easy application, you can locate a stencil that works with one color paint.  These stencils frequently have a large border around them which allows you to affix to the wall with painters tape and brush or spray paint the design onto the wall.  Many times sets of wall stencils can purchased for a relatively low price and reused as desired.  The starting price is usually around $2/stencil but may be more for more intricate designs.  It is important to note when applying stencils that you will need adequate ventilation and drying time prior to using the room again.

A second option for butterfly wall décor is pre-made wall stickers.  Growing in popularity, wall stickers are frequently highly colorful and much simpler than stencils to apply.  Wall stickers are growing in popularity, but choices are still somewhat limited at most mass merchandising stores.  For unique and intricate options, many online stores are devoted entirely to wall stickers.  Both peel and stick and wallpaper water and paste application options are available.  While peel and stick is a simpler application method, the water and paste style traditionally used for wallpaper typically will adhere better to the wall for long term application.  Regardless of application method, there is a chance of some slight damage to the paint when removing these stickers, but it will be substantially easier to remove than stenciling directly onto the wall.  Also, most stickers will not work well with textured walls and should be avoided.  Design and sizes vary by store and many stores offer bundle packs to have several smaller stickers of the same style.  Other stores have custom sticker murals that can be applied to the entire surface of the wall to create a background scene of a field full of butterflies!  Prices for stickers are relatively high, generally starting at $40 or more.

The least permanent option is utilizing nylon butterflies.  This type of butterfly wall décor involves stretching nylon fabric over a butterfly shaped wire frame.  These whimsical items can be hung from the ceiling, or affixed to the wall with a picture hanger and small amount of clear wire.  The impact to the wall will be the same of hanging a picture and is easily removed with minimal damage.  Nylon butterflies are also typically highly cost effective and can be removed and cleaned if needed.  Unfortunately, it is not easy to find these items in stores, and the consumer will need to locate online.  Nylon butterflies come in a variety of colors and styles, frequently using glitter, jewels, or layering to create a pleasing effect.  These 3D companions are relatively inexpensive, generally starting around $4 each, and bundle pricing is also available.

Regardless of what application you choose, placing butterflies artistically on a wall can give the room a facelift, transform the atmosphere, or simply hide problem areas.  By using your creativity and artistic eye, you can easily impact your living space for the better!

Perhaps the most accessible way for adults to incorporate butterflies into seasonal design is during Mardi Gras.  Due to the natural beauty of these epidopterans, they are incorporated as the form and design for a variety of Mardi Gras masks.  These inexpensive adornments can be found online year round and add an inexpensive touch of sparkle, shine, and rich colors to a room.  Most masks start around $5, but may cost up to $50 depending on material and design.  To transition the décor from the holiday season to year round appeal, masks can easily be matted and framed for a tasteful display.

Another season that is embracing the entry of the butterfly is the Christmas season.  Many varieties of tree ornaments can be found to fit any color theme.  Small, jeweled ornaments or large winged accents are increasingly available at mass merchandisers and specialty stores alike.  The pricing of these items varies greatly and depends on the materials used in the design.  Fabric and feather ornaments may be as low as $1 each, whereas crystal ornaments will be upwards of $20.  However, Christmas ornaments do not need to be consigned to a storage chest for the majority of the year. Obtain a shadow box lined with complimentary fabrics and creatively place your favorite adornments for year round butterfly appeal!

A natural for any outdoor event, butterflies are ever popular for the outdoor living areas of a home.  Durable nylon butterflies, wind chimes, garden flags, or patio tables with carved butterfly design are readily available at many retailers.  Some other options are butterfly shaped paver stones, or small glass butterflies to sprinkle throughout topiaries.  Due to the wide variety of products available, pricing can range widely.  The best deals on this merchandise can usually be found during the spring clearance season towards the end of May.

Butterfly home décor has a long history dating back to ancient art.  Butterflies can be seen depicted on Egyptian hieroglyphs more than 3500 years ago, and live specimens have been captured and artfully preserved for many years.  Due to its metamorphosis from an egg, to caterpillar, to butterfly, these fragile creatures are a natural representation for the human life cycle, and rebirth of the soul.  This soulful symbolism makes it easy to locate artwork from all time periods to suit your decorating needs.  Asian representations of butterflies focus primarily on their ethereal and spiritual quality, while modern representations by Warhol will focus more on the vibrant coloring variations.  By selecting the art piece that is right for your home, you can find a sophisticated way to incorporate butterflies into your décor scheme.  Art pricing will vary based on the artist’s popularity and the media utilized.  For example, a poster reprint will be much less expensive than a signed official reprint or original.

Butterfly home décor is growing in popularity across many consumer demographics.  From seasonal options to permanent art pieces, butterflies can be accessible to all budgets and tastes.  Try finding a special piece for your home today and embrace life’s changes and rebirth!

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.

For young children, the colors selected are usually more pastel based in nature.  Frequently young girls will incorporate light purples and rosy pinks as the major part of a rooms theme with blue and yellow elements in the background.  Adult butterfly decor is more commonly white, blue, or a dark purple in nature.  While all colors are available in both nature and decoration, it is best to limit the number of colors used as the central theme.  Fortunately, due to the symmetrical nature of butterflies, it is easy to incorporate a few or many into a design without skewing the balance of a room.

One of the most cost effective ways to incorporate butterflies in the decoration scheme is through linens and bedding.  Many cost effective or luxury duvet covers, curtains, sheets, shower curtains and rug sets can be found with these effervescent creatures adorning their thread counts.  For the bathroom, it is also easy to locate soap holders, toothbrush holders, and wastebaskets.

Central living spaces such as the living room can be more complex to effectively convey a butterfly theme.  In order to avoid a cluttered, juvenile appearance it is best to limit yourself to one or two exquisite butterfly themed items.  Some examples of this type of item are hand-painted lampshades, engraved wooden chests, and colored crystal butterfly ornaments.

The kitchen and dining area’s are a great place for an adult to be more expressive in the desire for a butterfly theme.  A variety of dining plates, glasses, and table linens are devoted to depictions of butterflies.   Combined with tasteful wall stencils or window decals, the kitchen can be alive with the sound of silent wings!

Infants and younger children can incorporate butterfly decor more abundantly without appearing overly “cutesy.”  Dry erase boards, plush toys, night lights, pillows, rugs, and wallpaper can all be purchased with the same design of butterfly to fill a room with a sense of sunshine and light.  While this is more common for young girls, with appropriate color choices and other insect elements, an appropriately masculine choice could be found with some research.

For youth or adults, room accent pieces are a final way to bring the butterfly personality into focus.  Electrical outlet covers, switch plates, fan pulls, coasters, sun catchers, and outside patio decorations can be found in neutral colors or metallic’s that catch a sense of whimsy without becoming overwhelming.  Conversely, when used in moderation highly colored pieces are also acceptable ornamentation for any room without becoming garish.  Well known art by artists such as Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, and Pablo Picasso also feature butterflies as the focal point of their pieces.

Be it the desire for a light-hearted mood, the love of vibrant colors, or the symbolism of rebirth and symmetry, it is easy to understand why people of all backgrounds enjoy butterfly decor in their homes.  Be it one or two specially picked centerpieces, or a child’s room overflowing with butterfly a sticker, the butterfly is in our homes to stay!
