Hey mama! You have discovered you are bringing a new life into the world (congratulations!) and it is time to pick a nursery theme. We have searched high and low for the perfect list to transform a newborn's room into a place of peace and adventure. Whether you are a quick purchase or DIY mama, this list is for you.

 

6 Unique Nursery Themes 

 

1. Celestial: Think universe, the possibilities are endless. Glow in the dark stars and planets cover the ceiling and walls. The nursery is not overcrowded with paintings on the wall nor furniture, leaving room for imagination. Choose light colored furniture to pair with the overall theme.

Where to buy: Amazon, Target, Micheal’s 

DIY:

    • Draw stars on cardboard and spray glow in the dark paint on the pieces
    • Paint any element of the solar system
    • Repaint Christmas ornaments and hang them on the wall 

 

2. Pop Art: Calling all Pinterest mamas! Fill this room with the fluffiest teddy bears and coziest blankets because this is where you want to be on a rainy day. This theme welcomes paintings and furniture, while still aiming for a simplistic look. Either the bedding has mix-matched pillows or the walls are grouped with decor. While dreaming up this design be mindful you want to keep everything de-cluttered and diaper changing materials handy. 

Where to buy: Burlington, Ross, T.J. Maxx

DIY:

    • Hang frames with homemade art
    • Make pillows and paint aztec designs on each pillow
    • Place wallpaper on one wall

 

3. Matchy Matchy: This entire nursery theme revolves around a single color or inspiration piece. Use lighter and darker shades to bring the room together. Go the extra mile to make everything color coordinate for this theme. Great for twins!
