A dinosaur themed nursery is an ideal way to decorate a room for your new baby boy. Paint a mural of a prehistoric tropical rainforest to set the stage. You don’t have to be Picasso – murals can be created from stencils and are fun and relatively easy to do. If a mural doesn’t appeal to you, apply a deep, bold solid shade to the walls and then add a fun wallpaper border of colorful dinosaurs, prehistoric foliage or dinosaur bone shapes. A little imagination and some creative accessorizing will give you a dinosaur themed nursery you will be proud of.
The color palette (from Benjamin Moore) is chosen to bring out and emphasize the color scheme of the crib bedding, particularly the tailored bed skirt. Select any one of these shades as the primary wall color and your nursery will be a rich and vibrant canvas for stegosauruses, brontosaurs and the odd t-rex.
The Kathy Ireland by Thank You Baby Dino Dreams Nursery Bedding Set includes all the basics like the crib bumper, sheet and bed skirt to make the crib comfy for baby. But the Dino Dreams collection also gives you the option of adding a mobile, window treatment and dinosaur-themed wall art.
Opting for country style baby furniture will give the room a warm and inviting charm without being too feminine. The rich medium wood finish of the Stork Craft Aspen Stages Cognac Fixed Side Baby Crib will complement the colors of the walls and the crib bedding.
A change table makes the nursery much more functional, especially one that can be repurposed when baby no longer needs it. The South Shore Lullaby Convertible Changing Table, with drawers and plenty of storage space, also has plenty of country style.
The warm colors of the Brink & Campman Area Rugs- Estella Collection Lava 87803 will not only give the nursery a finished look, it will also add a plush texture to the décor.

Expecting a child, especially if it is your first one, is both exciting and intimidating. But designing a nursery for your baby boy is a great way to get rid of “the shakes” because it focuses your attention on making room for the newest member of your family and gives you confidence knowing that you are well prepared.
Choosing a theme when designing a nursery is an easy way to coordinate the room and let it tell a story. Since your child isn’t quite ready yet for consultation, pick something that you like and find amusing. Themes for a boy’s nursery are as limitless as your imagination. Don’t quite know where to begin? A popular theme for a baby boy’s room is the southwest, cowboys and horses.
Start Here
After deciding on a paint color for the walls and painting the room, you will need furniture. The most basic pieces you will need are a crib and a crib mattress. A dresser or a chest of drawers is a must-have for storing baby clothes, booties and blankies. A change table will make both you and your baby comfortable when you have to change his diaper. A rocker gives you a cozy place to bond with your child while you’re feeding him.
Smart and stylish with a casual southwestern feel, the Da Vinci Reagan 4-in-1 Convertible Crib in Oak has the added benefit of growing with your baby. It starts off as a crib but can be converted into a toddler bed and then into a standard bed when needed.
Beddie Buys
You will need to transform the crib and mattress into a nice soft and comfortable sleeping space for your child with a crib bedding set. The natural oak color of the crib’s wood finish will be a perfect complement to the BeBe Chic Bronco Billy 4 Piece Set with Mobile.
Complete the nursery décor by matching the window treatment to the crib’s bedding with the BeBe Chic Bronco Billy Nursery Room Curtain Valance.
Finish it Off
The Woolrich Cisco Kid Table Lamp is a fun way to bring some light into the room while keeping to the cowboy theme you have chosen.
A popular baby shower gift is a book. Whether it’s a traditional picture book, a cloth book or a brightly colored board book, you’re going to need someplace to put them. The Lea Jackson Creek Bunching Bookcase, with its oak veneers and rugged “cowboy” appearance will be the perfect addition to a cowboy themed nursery.
A rug seems to automatically make a room a warm and inviting. The Fun Rugs Supreme Collection Denim Dreams Rug will give our cowboy nursery an extra special charm.
