How to Decorate a Baby's Room With a Theme
A great way to celebrate your baby's arrival is by decorating its room or nursery. If you don't know if you will be having a boy or a girl, choose a gender-neutral theme such as "under the sea" or use zoo-inspired decor. There are many themes to choose from, and a lot of baby stores carry lines dedicated to specific themes. You can buy everything from the line, or you can get creative by mixing and matching the items with handmade crafts, decor and furniture. Does this Spark an idea?

Decorate your baby's room with a tropical beach theme. Paint the walls in an ocean-inspired aqua or light blue shade, or create a beach mural. Purchase "beachy" bedding that features items such as sand castles, sand buckets and seahorses. If you are creative, paint boring wooden furniture with beach scenes. Use stencils to create seashells and palm trees on your baby's crib and dresser.

For a gender-neutral room, decorate with a fun and vintage "Peter Rabbit" theme. Choose decor inspired by Beatrix Potter's "The Tale of Peter Rabbit," a popular children's book. Buy "Peter Rabbit" bedding, and display the books on a bookshelf. Use stick-on decals or stencils and paint to display the "Peter Rabbit" characters on the nursery walls. Choose furniture items in soft, warm shades, which are reflective of the book's illustrations.
