Dec 6, 2008
There’s something simple and old fashioned about an ABC theme nursery. Parents can use the murals and accent décor to teach the new arrival their first animals, colors, and letters. And there are plenty of options for inexpensive accent décor.
Start with the Walls for the Alphabet Theme Bedroom or Nursery
ABC theme wallpaper choices are a popular option for baby nurseries. Parents might also opt for the more affordable coat of paint. But since color schemes for the alphabet theme fall into the primary and pastel shades, decorators will probably want to scope out their baby’s crib set before painting.
If parents paint the walls a solid color or use wallpaper. Painting the ceiling a coordinating color will give the room itself the feel of a fun alphabet block.
Once the walls are covered, parents can add a coordinating alphabet block theme wallpaper border or try their hand at ABC stencils. They can use craft paint to add a mural of their baby’s name in colorful blocks. Peel and stick ABC wall decals or wallpaper murals are an equally attractive option.
To give the nursery some extra color, parents can paste a wallpaper border midway up the wall and use two coordinating colors to paint the upper and lower halves.
Crib Sets, Window Treatments and Area Rugs, for the ABC Theme Nursery
Parents can either choose from alphabet theme bed sets, or go with a set that matches the color scheme of the nursery.
Coordinating curtains often accompany bed sets or crib sets, but do-it-yourself decorators might rather choose from the wide array of fun ABC theme fabrics.
If the nursery has a hardwood floor, an area rug will provide an inviting place for the new baby to play. Because of their popularity in elementary classrooms, parents won’t have any trouble finding a rug matching their alphabet theme. Best of all, the ABC theme is one that co-ordinates well with other themes and will probably fit right into the toddler’s bedroom décor. At that point, parents will find extra benefits to the alphabet area rug as the starter for many educational games and teachable moments.
Decorating an Alphabet Theme Nursery or Bedroom
Colorful alphabet flash cards are probably the most inexpensive accents available for an ABC theme nursery. Packs of cards come in just about any theme, color scheme, and style. One set can work its way around the wall or fairly cover a part of the wall in a grid pattern.
Alphabet blocks will look nice on just about any available surface. Parents can also pick up wooden letters from a craft store. They can paint the letters to match the room then add some white polka dots for personality. Cross stitch samplers depicting the ABC’s are another nice accent for the walls.
Stuffed animals common to an ABC theme such as alligators, bears, cats, and dogs look great in a rocking chair or on a dresser top. Apples are another fun motif for an ABC room that’s easy to find.
Shelves are a great place to decorate with old-fashioned toys, stuffed animals, toy cars, blocks, a basket of faux apples, and alphabet books. Parents can choose from the staggering multitude of ABC books whose covers depict bright letters and animals and set them covers facing outward. Decorating with books is an inexpensive way they can instill a love of reading early. Parents may even dissect their favorite alphabet book and frame pages to hang around the room.
Parents can personalize the room by stenciling their baby’s name in alphabet blocks on the wall or furniture. They might also take pictures of their baby’s familiar objects such as his toy alligator, ball, and car for an alphabet collage. Touches like these make a alphabet theme room feel special and fill it with happy memories.
