Keep it simple. Remember your clientele is barely knee high to a grasshopper. You don't want to create a decor that is too busy, or it will intimidate the smaller humans. Highly detailed forests and numerous animals along the walls could potentially do more to frighten than engage toddlers and babies.

Stick to primary colors. No need for the latest hues and trends when decorating a daycare nursery. Simple, contrasting colors will stimulate brain activity much more than an expensively sponge painted accent wall.

Create a comfortable seating area for lounging. Often times parents will want to drop in on their lunch hour to spend time with their little ones. Overstuffed rockers in soothing pastels will make your parents and babies feel right at home.

Use durable materials. From floors to walls to furniture you need to make sure that surfaces are easy to clean. Spend the extra money on easy-to-clean paint for walls and resist the urge to decorate with stuffed animals that retain germs and stains.
