Do not want to paint the walls in the nursery but still uncertain how can I color my walls without paint? We can give you a couple of great nursery ideas in that case. One of the easiest ways to add vibrancy to the room is embellishing it with a flamboyant floor-to-ceiling piece of art. Alternatively, you can decorate the walls with vivid tapestries. Also, lay out bright-colored throws and pillows all around the furniture. When choosing curtains, refrain from neutral shades and choose vibrant colors instead. A bright couch or rug is also a great way to bring some color to the nursery. Or, you can upholster the excising furniture in different shades. Plants can also make the room seem brighter and livelier. If you like crafts and prefer to create décor yourself, then you can adorn the bookcase back using colorful paper. Finally, do not limit your imagination and implement as many creative ideas as you like.

So, what do you put in a nursery? First and foremost, you should take care to choose the safest crib for your baby. On average, a newborn child spends around 17 hours per day sleeping. Thus, they will spend most of their day there. Then, you should make sure to pick out the best mattress. Whether it is going to be waterproof, foam or organic is up to you. Yet, it is better if it is hypoallergenic. On top of the mattress, as well as your bed, you are going to need a waterproof cover. Also, do not forget about a sheet for the crib. Now that the baby’s bed is equipped, you should think of other furniture in the nursery. You definitely need a comfy chair, where you are going to spend a lot of the time feeding the baby, and a nursing pillow to prop up their head. Of course, you should stock up on such essentials as clothes, wipes and diapers. Finally, you need a piece of furniture where you can keep all that stuff. Hence, it is better to buy a dresser or a drawer for the nursery.

So, if you want your baby girl to beam once she opens her eyes, then consider decorating the wall in her room with roses. Their size, color and shape are up to you. Just ensure they do not clash with the rest of the nursery interior style.
