Designing a nursery for a girl

How to decorate a nursery for a girl

The nursery is an important place where you and your baby will spend a lot of time together – whether it’s changing nappies, breastfeeding, cuddling, reading stories or settling to sleep. But how do you create the perfect nursery for a baby girl? 

Don’t worry, we’ve got the answer! Here are four unbeatable tips to help you create the ideal nursery for your little girl.

1. Choosing the right furniture 

In a baby’s room in particular, it’s worth making clever use of every centimetre. Practical storage solutions help to keep nappies, clothes and other bits and bobs within easy reach and neatly tidied away. Our tip: spruce up second-hand IKEA furniture with Limmaland adhesive films – sustainable, affordable and completely personalised.

2. Choosing the right colours for the nursery

The colours in a baby’s room set the tone for the space. That’s why many parents opt for soft shades such as pink, lavender or beige, which radiate calm and a sense of security. However, delicate shades of green, yellow or grey also create a harmonious environment and bring a breath of fresh air to the design. Before choosing your colours, take inspiration from home decor magazines, Pinterest or other nursery ideas. The room will look particularly cohesive if the colours complement the rest of your home. 

Our tip : Order colour samples and test them in daylight. That way, you can see straight away how the colour looks in the room and whether it suits your dream nursery.

When it comes to choosing colours for a baby girl’s nursery, there are plenty of combinations to choose from. Soft, subtle colours are currently in vogue. A popular example is the combination of beige and pink in a baby girl’s room. However, neutral colours are also frequently used for decorating a girl’s room. For example, you could decorate your baby girl’s room in mint green, add splashes of mustard yellow, or combine shades of grey with delicate pastel colours.

3. Cute wall décor 

Don’t feel like painting the nursery before your baby arrives? No problem! Avoid the stress and go for the simple solution: wall films.

With child-friendly designs such as cute clouds, twinkling stars or adorable little houses, they’ll conjure up a magical atmosphere in the nursery in no time at all. An atmosphere that will delight not only you, but your little girl too!
