The most exciting part of starting a family is to design and decorate the nursery of the newest addition to the family – the baby. There are so many themes available in the market that it becomes difficult to choose from them.
There are many themes for nursery decoration that set well with both the genders and the cuteness level is overdosed, to be honest.
One of the themes that truly captured our hearts and gave us so many options to play around with is the “woodland theme”. It is such a cute and functional theme that goes well with both genders. You can decorate it with so many options and can even go overboard without the fear of overdoing it.
Today we will be decorating a nursery with a woodland theme. Let’s have a look at the essentials that we chose which were on cuteness quota as well as perfect in functionality.
The Beginning:
Just like any other interior design project, you need to assess the requirements as well as the challenges which you will incur while decorating the specific space. For a woodland nursery, you need to set up a few challenges that shall be addressed and accomplished by the end of the finished project.
Here are a few challenges to keep in mind for the starters:
- It’s a nursery, so allocation of space in the form of storage cabinets is a must while keeping the place organized.
- There must be an engraving of woodland animals to give it a nursery look.
- Must incorporate kid’s furniture into the theme such as a nursery chair, additional ottoman, diaper storage, cot, etc.
- The tone of the nursery should be light as it is especially being curated for a little baby. The woodland-themed nursery should gel in with the rest of the house.
- Decorate it in a subtle way so that it doesn’t seem like everything is coming on your face as you enter the nursery and it isn’t minimalist that you need to find a connection with the theme.
The Transformation:
To transform a space into a woodland animals-themed nursery, we created a mood board to analyze what we have in our hands and how far we can go with the decoration of the place while staying within the parameters of the budget and the theme.
One of the best ways to achieve the woodland theme feel is to incorporate rustic accessories with the theme as it will enhance the vibes of the theme while fulfilling the cuteness quota.
Keep the walls plain or minimalist. Use a tinted crème shade on the wall to give it a look of sky peeping through the woodland. The minimalist wall will help you play in the interior of the room as in you can use illustrated wallpaper on any wall to give it the feature of woodland.
Wallpapers are easy to use, cohesive, and enhance the theme. You can put wallpaper on one wall and leave the rest of the room plain as it will accentuate the true vibes of the theme. Put a birch tree or an oak tree wallpaper on the feature or main wall for the nursery. Trust us, this will change the whole look of the nursery instantly.
The ceiling should be kept white so that it can be different from the walls and also brighten up the space. The white ceiling will make the nursery look bigger and brighter.
Now that we are done with the wall decor, let’s jump to the furniture and accessories essential for the theme. It is very important to add accessories which are inspired by nature so that they can give a subtle feel immediately.
There are very cute diaper holders available in the market in the shape of animals. Opt for any of them such as a giraffe or a bear and you can put it in one corner which will go just the right way with the theme.
Use plenty of decoration items to give it a feel of woodland themed nursery.
For instance, search for animal-shaped hangers for the clothes of the baby which will define that the space is inspired by woodland animals. Moreover, even if the crib is in white or any other color that is nude or solid, use accessories such as whimsical mobile or plush which will enhance the theme and make the person get the idea behind the decoration immediately.
As the theme is woodland animals, we can add a jute basket or an earthy-toned bassinet which will look great in the nursery as well as coordinate with the theme.
A mirror always makes the room appear spacious. Adding a mirror that is fitted into Birchwood will look elegant yet a part of the woodland-themed nursery.
To assist the mom or the guardian, let’s place a rug which is minimalist in design but the colors and hues are in accordance with the theme. This will showcase the details of the nursery and how you have kept in mind the minutest detailing to assist the theme of the nursery.
