Ideas For Decorating the Nursery Walls With Baby Borders
Baby wall borders are no different than any other wallpaper border. Borders in baby themes may include pretty pictures of baby products that would only be interesting to the proud parents of a newborn. Beyond that you might say that border is just plain border, nothing new there at all. That might be the end of the discussion except for the fact that there are so many cute baby borders and it can even be fun to make your own border patterns to use on the nursery walls.
I choose a baby wallpaper border in much the same way as I would pick wallpaper for any decorating project. I take a piece of fabric to the store, I pick border in colors and designs that strike my fancy, I buy my material, paste the border at the desired height on the nursery wall and in very little time, the job is done. This no frills method of applying border to the nursery walls is extremely effective, but it's also pretty repetitive and boring.
I'm often asked whether I prefer pre-pasted wallpaper borders or would I rather decorate nurseries using stenciled designs. The answer to this question depends on how much time I have to complete the project and whether or not I can find suitable border at the store or online. I know that if I buy border, it will save time, but it may add a few dollars to the customer's bill as the purchase of border may be more expensive than if I had stenciled the baby's border. To paint the border using a stencil will take a little more time than hanging wallpaper border, so the amount that my customer saves in material cost evens out in labor fees.
There have been times that I got lucky and found some really fine baby wallpaper border on sale at a super discount. I always made certain that my measurements were exact before buying border from sale bin. It would be horrible to run completely out of wallpaper border and not be able to complete the project because the pattern had been discontinued.
A painted border can be much more interesting than hanging a border in the nursery. Painting my own wall borders is the best method of color matching that I have found. It's a great way to get an exact color match to the rest of the room. While we are discussing ways to get cool results by doing it yourself, you can also make your own stencils that you can reuse time and time again. I have made my own decorative stencil patterns for many nursery decorating projects and the parents loved the fact that their design was an original.
If you'd like to try painting your own nursery wall border but you wonder if you are artistic enough to complete such a project, don't worry! Baby designs are some of the easiest patterns to make. Take some pictures of your baby's foot and hand prints and use them to make your pattern. Once your nursery wall border has been painted and your nursery walls look fabulous, explore more ways that you can use your personalized baby stencils for other nursery decorations and craft projects.
