01311022675_dragonflydreams.jpgYellow: Known as a soft calming color, yellow has the ability to create a warm sunny feel which brightens and brings warmth to a dim room. Yellow is also known for its ability to stimulate muscle activity. A great choose for a baby nursery.

White: Predominantly representing cleanliness and purity, white also symbolizes peace and joy. Rooms will feel larger and brighter because this color reflects 80% of light. Maybe not the most exciting color for a child’s room but could create a beautiful room when accented with a bright colorful kids bedding set and coordinating accessories.

Blue: Peace, wisdom and confidence are all affects of a room painted in a soft blue shade. This is a great color for either a baby nursery or for a child’s bedroom because it produces a calming affect that prepares the body for sleep.

Green: A refreshing color that is known to reinforce self-esteem and suggest hope. Green is a very uplifting color for a teen bedroom because often that is the stage in life where they are feeling a lot of peer pressure and they need to really feel strong in their self-esteem.

Red: Bright reds increase desire, excitability and passion. Red can be used as an accent color to brighten up a room but is not recommended as a primary decor color. Especially for a child who may already struggle with having quiet times.

Purple: When darker shades of purple are used, they typically represent royalty, power, and luxury. However, these deep tones can also evoke feelings of sadness and frustration. Lighter shades create a more peaceful and nostalgic feeling and are often used in a girl’s bedroom.

Earth Tones: Grays, browns and beige are an excellent choice for hyperactive children. These colors represent warmth, comfort, and relaxation. The muted ground colors are best and would look great with a camouflage boys bedding set.

Whichever color you choose to paint your baby nursery, child room, or teen bedroom, the decision should be a fun one. Don’t over analyze, just try to take into consideration your child’s personality and also the furniture and space that you are working with. Put a lot of focus on the lighting in the room because natural vs. false light makes and amazing amount of difference on the wall color.

Fresh Ideas for Decorating a Babys Room

11310672910_7246re2.jpgExpecting couples are often deluged with information, tips and advice from family, friends and well-wishers. Unfortunately, all of the information rarely covers decorating the baby’s room. Many people struggle to come up with fresh ideas or even any ideas at all. Here is some ideas that will get you started and help to put everything in context.
Minimize
As tempting as it might seem to run out and buy everything in sight, it’s important to remember to not overly clutter the baby’s room. Keep furniture and toys to a minimum, especially for a newborn. A common baby room, for example, is fully furnished with a crib, changing table, storage shelf or dresser and a rocking chair. Remember, once your baby becomes mobile, he’ll be crawling, not walking. Keep the floor space open and safe for your baby. This will improve both the aesthetics and the livability of the baby room.
Choose a Theme
For a baby room to really take on a unique aesthetic appeal, you’ll need to pick a central theme. It’s no good to have panda bear wallpaper (black and white) with a yellow crib, blue carpeting and green drapes. Pick a color theme and perhaps add an image-based theme. Common image-based themes tend to be things like horses, seascapes and character-inspired themes. Keep color themes light and breezy. Remember, even though this is going to be a child’s room, it should still look relatively nice to adult eyes.
Go Carpeted
As lovely as hardwood floors are, your baby will vastly prefer carpeting. Not only will it be more comfortable for her in terms of crawling, but it’s also an added safety feature. If your baby takes a spill in her baby room, for any reason, carpeting will help to pad her fall and save her from potential injury.
Decorate for Gender
If you aren’t aware of your baby’s gender due to personal preference, that’s fine. Don’t decorate the baby room based on a hunch or guess, though. Instead, either decorate in neutral colors, such as yellow or green, or wait to decorate your baby’s room until after the birth. You can always keep the crib in another room for the short term and move it into the baby’s own quarters after decoration is complete.
Decorate Around the Crib
Remember, the crib is going to be the central fixture of the baby room. Everything else needs to flow around it naturally. Pick your crib out first and then decorate the rest of the baby’s room around it.
