A great theme for any little girl’s nursery is a butterfly theme. It’s not only versatile and easy to implement but offers a world of whimsy and imagination for your baby to experience.
Colors will help define depth and shape, and stimulate your child’s imagination especially those developmental years.
Butterfly elements for your room can range from bedding, to wall decor, butterfly artwork, mobiles and even lettering. A garden, castle or simple outdoor spring feeling can be brought into the room to add special settings for your butterfly decor. Some of the more popular theme elements currently used are:
1) Mobiles – What else could be more mesmerizing and dream-like than watching a beautiful, elegant mobile made from nylon butterflies that shimmer and dance in the light during the day, and provide an ethereal glow in the dimmed atmosphere at night.
You can hang the mobile from the ceiling or in the typical mobile application on the crib. Hanging the mobile from the ceiling will give you extended use once the baby has grown to toddler age and leaves the crib behind.
2) Personalization – Using butterfly wall stickers or letters spelling the baby’s name will give a personal and designer feel and will help learning of the child’s name by the early and repetitive sight of the word. An additional bonus is that the letters can be moved and rearranged in a different presentation style if you change themes at some later date.
3) Butterfly art-work – Frame storybook pages or even mount an open frame with nylon butterflies, greenery, dragonflies and even flowers inside. These ideas will give you original and unique elements that can’t be found elsewhere because they came from your imagination. They can also be re-used or re-done when you’d like a little change or your child falls in love with a certain story.
4) Accessories – Use butterfly curtain tie-backs, curtain rod adornments, butterfly lamp shades, message boards and even a growth chart. The little details like this will complete your theme and provide a vibrant yet delicate feel.
A butterfly nursery is a wonderful idea for any young parent. They will introduce concepts to infants and young kinds that they will grow out of, and into over and over again. Butterflies can be gentle and soft, or strong and bold, good for both boys and girls. If done correctly, you will be able to create a safe, welcome environment for your kids that they will remember for years to come.
