Step 1
If you have decided on a ballerina nursery theme for your baby girl’s room, this step-by-step guide will help you create a welcoming and stylish ballerina-inspired nursery.
As a first step, decide on the overall color scheme. A number of options which will look elegant and beautiful for a ballerina nursery theme – a pretty pink & purple, a green & pink or a white & purple color scheme will all look great. If you prefer a bolder color scheme, consider using red and white as your signature colors. Once you have decided on your colors, you can look for all the items that incorporate those colors. Of course, if you find something with a ballerina pattern that you absolutely adore – a crib bedding set or a wall art piece – you can use that item as a starting point for your nursery color scheme. -
Step 2
Ballerina Pattern WallpaperNext, think about the overall style of your nursery. The ballerina nursery theme can be adapted to any style. It would fit especially well in a vintage-style nursery – consider featuring vintage prints or photos as wall art for a unique touch. Vintage-inspired wallpaper with ballerina patterns is another great way to add interest. If wallpaper is too much for you, choose a dainty wall border with little ballerinas’ print.

Step 3
To achieve a stylish balance, consider to what extent and where in the room you want to feature the ballerina pattern. Busy patterns can often be overwhelming, so be cautious as you decorate. For example, if you feature a series of ballerina-inspired wall art and accessories (such as a ballerina night lamp and a mobile), then opt for bedding in a solid color or a simpler pattern. You can always embellish the bedding set by adding a throw or a blanket with a ballerina embroidery or motif.

Step 4
Ballerina SilhouetteIn terms of accessories, pick items which carry the style and images that you like. A series of prints and pictures make a great statement; however consider also a more unique approach such as framing ballerina silhouettes for an elegant and bold display. For a truly custom look, think about creating your own accessories – for example, choose fabric in a ballerina pattern in your color scheme and make an accent pillow, a changing pad cover or even curtains for your nursery. Combining products from major brands with your own custom items is sure to create a stylish nursery.
