You may have a vision of how the nursery will look and feel. If you do, that’s great. However, if you need some inspiration and are unsure how you want the nursery to look and feel, this process will help. First, gather some magazines and catalogs that contain nursery photos. If you don’t have any magazines with nursery photos, regular home magazines will work just fine. As you look through the various publications, pull out the pictures that catch your eye. At this stage, don’t worry about looking for a definitive picture of a nursery, you simply want to focus on pictures that appeal to you based on color and style.
Now that you’ve gathered pictures, cut them out and make a collage. It may sound remedial, but a theme will emerge containing the details we mentioned earlier: color, style, accessories, and furniture. You will discover a theme of colors, as well as the style and type of accessories that draw your attention to an overall theme. Next, based on the collage, list the following details that have emerged from your choices:
• Color and textures
• Style (contemporary, traditional, eclectic)
• Accessories (lamps, fan or light fixture, clock, bookshelf)
• Furniture items (crib, rocker, dresser, changing table)
Use these details when you shop and make choices for the nursery.
