Spring, for obvious reasons, is a great theme to choose when designing a nursery for your new baby girl. It is the symbol of rebirth, the season after winter when nature takes a little rest. This theme will be rich in shapes and ideas, from flowers to birds and butterflies to lambs and other baby animals. Taking inspiration from Mother Nature, the colors are fresh and soft or bright and bold – the choice is yours. But once the walls have been painted and the furniture has been arranged, it will be a beautiful and visually stimulating place for your newborn.

For the walls, colors (from Benjamin Moore selections) that reflect grass, spring flowers and blue-washed morning skies are a good place to start. If wallpaper appeals to you, select spring themed patterns that include shades like tea rose pink, leaf green and sunshine yellow. When selecting wallpaper, particularly big patterned wallpaper, make sure that it matches your crib bedding and is not too “busy”.

Traditional or transitional style baby furniture goes well with a spring flowers nursery theme since a flower/botanical/rose medallion or motif is a common decorative detail. A crib like the Young America Isabella Mix & Match Stationary Crib will give the room a classic feminine flair, with scrolling lines, gentle curves and graceful profiles.

Dress the crib in the playful spring flower designs and colors of the Cotton Tale Spring Fling 4-Piece Baby Crib Bedding Set. The patterns are a magical mix of flowers, butterflies, stripes and polka dots.

Make it seem like the butterflies flew from the crib to the picture on the wall with BeBe Chic Botanica Butterfly Flight Wall Art.

Baby will need changing! Make your child comfortable and easier on you by including a change table in your nursery interior design. The Young America by Stanley Isabella White Single Dresser with Optional Changing Station displays even more floral themed decoration with a dainty vine motif.

Because you can never have too much storage in a baby’s room, the Natart Verona Armoire offers plenty of space for blankies, clothes and toys. The added advantage of choosing an heirloom piece like this armoire is that it will grow with her – she will always need someplace to hang her clothes and keep other treasures safe.
