General rules
To begin work, it is necessary to take into account several important factors for arranging a cozy and beautiful nursery.
- Age. Childhood lasts more than one year. Over time, preferences and interests change. The decor should match the age of the child and his current addictions. By the way, it is recommended to change the decor at least once every two years.
- Personal preferences. Maybe up to a year the baby will agree with your choice, since it does not make much difference in which cradle to lie, if only it would be convenient. But at the age of 1-2 years, he is quite capable of choosing his favorite jewelry, color, cartoon characters and other addictions. Of course, at this age there are still no clearly formed views, but the child is able to describe personal preferences. Do not ignore this factor, and be sure to talk with the baby before making decisions regarding further actions.
- Materials Only select hypoallergenic materials that do not cause adverse health effects. In addition, all the components of the decor must be of high quality.
- Dimensions Remember that bulky and too bright decorations will not work for a small room. Choose the scenery so that they look harmonious and do not overload the space.
- Comfort. For the sake of this factor, sometimes you have to sacrifice beauty. Do not forget that the situation in the first place should be comfortable for both parents and their children.
Now we can begin to choose the area and method of decoration.

Decorating a bed is a great idea. Let's start with a simple one. You can come up with various fabric or paper decorations and hang them over the bed. A common option is rattles in the form of a carousel. But it is suitable only for the smallest. For older children, you need to change the design.
The cradle is replaced by a bed for younger preschool age, changes are expected in the scenery. Now you can paste on the bed and wardrobe with various stickers that will please the baby. For girls, you can build pompons or make other hanging decorations.
A great option when the bed itself becomes a decor. In the store you will find a wide variety of models of baby beds: in the form of a rocket, an airplane, a castle, etc. Children will definitely appreciate such an idea, and the room will become a real work of art with such a bed.

Drawings are used
A good way to stimulate a child to develop in a creative direction and instill in him a love of art is to show him what he can do. In this case, it will be useful to decorate the nursery with drawings made by the hands of the baby.
Choose beautiful frames, create interesting compositions, if necessary add pictures or your drawings. Beat children's creativity in an interesting way, and the child will believe in himself. If you still show guests the creative samples of your child, he will definitely believe in himself. But do not overdo it, be truthful and discard flattery.
Photos will create comfort
To keep wonderful moments in your memory, you should capture them in photographs. And do not leave them lying idle in computer folders - make a collage. This idea will help you recall wonderful moments from life, as well as give coziness and tenderness to the atmosphere.
To organize the collage, you need a sheet of Whatman paper, glue, scissors, photographs. Also stock up on various decorations. It can be newspaper clippings, coloring pages, prints, volumetric or flat figures and other decorations to your taste. Look at interesting ideas for posting photos, and get down to business.
Create right on the walls
Now we decorate the nursery with drawings applied directly to the wall. You can do it yourself or invite a specialist. You can also entrust the brush to your son or daughter, and create together. But in the latter case, you need to have talent and imagination in order to turn inept pen samples into a real masterpiece.
A good option - watercolor or water-based paint. Take a brush, paint and create.
Important! The wall for watercolor should be plastered, but not wallpapered.
If your artistic skills do not allow you to create on a blank canvas, use stencils or a projector to apply your favorite picture.
Paper decoration
This is a universal option. It is suitable for decorating any surface. To create a decor with your own hands, any paper is suitable: corrugated, colored two-sided or single-sided. With it you will be able to realize many ideas.
A good option is the family tree. Cut the silhouette of the tree out of cardboard and attach it to the wall. You can add a crown or leave the application silhouette. Now put the photos of family members on the branches and sign the composition. There are many varieties of such a tree. Take our idea as a basis, and feel free to make changes.
