How to Design a Fairy Theme Nursery
Decorate a Bedroom with Disney Nursery Decor and Beautiful Fairies
Jan 31, 2009
Thanks to Tinker Bell and Disney nursery decor, fairies are an increasingly popular decorating choice for little girl’s of all ages. The fairy-tale theme is perfect for a baby girl’s nursery, and older girl’s enjoy designing around well known characters such as Tinker Bell and her Pixie Hollow friends.
Wall Decor for a Fairy Theme Nursery
Wallpaper options abound depicting sparkling fairies, but decorators might also opt for the more affordable coat of paint. The enchanted fairy theme works especially well with a foundation color of pastels such as soft green, baby pink, lavender, or periwinkle. Parents may want to choose bedding and accent pieces to help select their foundation color for the wall.
Once the walls are covered, parents can add a pixie theme wallpaper border or try their hand at stencils. Some may want to attempt a mural of an enchanted forest with colorful flowers, dainty butterflies, a baby unicorn, and glittering fairies. Peel and stick wall decals or wallpaper murals are an equally attractive option.
Bed Sets Crib Sets, Window Treatments, and Area Rugs, for the Fairy Theme Nursery
The enchanted style of the fairy theme nursery has resulted in quite a few options for crib sets and coordinating accessories. Prices of these sets vary widely. A few of the more popular packages on the market include Jojo Designs’ Fairy Tale Fairies pink bedding set, Freckles Fairy Garden Crib Bedding Collection, Glitter Fairy Crib Bedding Set, Sterling Anabella’s Fairy Land Crib Bedding Collection, and Wamsutta Baby’s Fairy Tale crib set.
Co-ordinating curtains, wall hangings, area rugs, diaper storage, and lamps accompany most of these crib sets. Do-it-yourself decorators may prefer to make their own curtains and throw pillows from fairy print fabric, shimmery materials, airy laces or lush satin.
Fairy and Disney Nursery Decor
Greenery is the key to transforming a little girl’s bedroom into an enchanted forest. Parents can use sticky hooks to drape silk vines entwined with flowers down walls and shelves. Window sills and bookshelves can be decorated with silk ferns. To give the room some depth, parents can use sticky hooks and fishing line to suspend butterflies and dragonflies from the ceiling.
Parents who want to go all out with the fairy land theme for their little girl’s bedroom or nursery can hunt down a used desk, table, chairs, dresser, or chest of drawers and give them a pixie make-over. A soft coat of pastel paint and stencils of fairies, flowers, leaves, vines, butterflies, and dragonflies make this a decorating project any parent can tackle.
Higher shelves are a great place to decorate with a collection of fairy figurines, potted ferns, flowers, and fairy themed storybooks. Some great titles include Child of Fairy, Child of Earth by Jane Yolen, Fia and the Imp by Lauren Mills, The Fairy’s Gift by Tanya Robyn, Fairy Dreams by Carol Mclean, Fairy Wings by Lauren Mills, Good Night Fairies by Kathleen Hague, Sky Castle by Sandra Hanken, The Wishing of Biddy Malone by Joy Cowley, and Imagine You’re a fairy by Meg Clibbon. Decorating with books is an inexpensive way parents can brighten up the bedroom and instill a love of reading early.
Parents can personalize the room by snapping pictures of their little girl in a Halloween fairy costume found in a thrift shop or on Ebay. The pictures will look great in the nursery and the scrap book as well.
Parents and little girls can also have fun scoping out magazines and books with fairy illustrations from the used book store and clipping out favorite photos. The pictures can be used to decoupage accent pieces for the room such as pencil cans, plaques for the wall, a table and chairs, or nightstand. Touches like these make an enchanted fairy theme room feel special and fill it with happy memories.
Parents won’t need pixie dust, only a little creativity, to get their little girl’s fairy theme nursery off the ground. For more ideas, parents can check out articles on nursery themes including princesses, ballerinas, or garden flowers and ladybugs.
