Especially now that summer is around the corner, a sports themed nursery would be a fun way to get ready to welcome your new baby boy. Because the theme is so wide-ranging, it allows you to stay general and pick your accessories from a variety of sports or to be creative with just one specific sport like baseball. In addition to picking one sport, you could also select one favorite team to focus on or feature an all-time famous ball player like Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio and Jackie Robinson. Sepia prints of some of the old timers of baseball would be an ideal way to decorate the walls of a vintage baseball themed nursery. Traditional or contemporary, here are some baby nursery decorating ideas for baby’s first room that will really impress your little slugger.
Start with neutral colors such as cream, beige and gray. Even soft taupes, pale browns or earth tones would work well, too. This is to create a backdrop for more colorful accessories like sports theme bedding, window treatments, baseball bears, pennants and other fun collectibles. You will want to avoid having too much color in one space as this can make the nursery feel crowded, cramped or cluttered. Or you could reverse it – put colors like bold red, blue or yellow on the walls and pair them with neutral toned window treatments and an area rug that have subtle splashes of color.
The Sorelle Sophia 4-in-1 Convertible Baby Crib, while it does include decorative elements, is perfect for a baby boy sports themed nursery. This richly finished crib will make the ideal foil for baseball memorabilia. Some parents prefer to purchase a crib set since it saves time having to match the other pieces of nursery furniture that they might need such as a changing table and a dresser. Buying a nursery crib set also saves money, since you are not purchasing each nursery furniture piece separately.
Have a ball accessorizing. Select crib sports theme bedding that will add a fun and colorful vibe to the room. When deciding on what kind of window treatment, whatever you choose, make sure that it matches at least two other main décor elements in the room like the wall color and the crib bedding that you purchased for the crib. An armoire, toy chest or toy storage bench makes the room more functional and will grow with your child when the baby nursery furniture is no longer needed. Look for picture frames and collectibles like the Lite Source No Base Triple Bat Lamp that celebrate the spirit of our national sport.
