Choosing items

Choose a few key butterfly items for your nursery rather than overwhelming the room with everything butterfly-themed. Additional items can be coordinated to match the butterfly's colors. Your colors should be bright, as babies prefer these over pastels. Newborns, however, prefer black and white due to the contrast of shades, which is easier for them to see.
Hanging Butterflies

Take small hooks and screw them into the ceiling. Find large butterflies that can be hung from the hooks using fishing line. They'll fly around as the breeze hits them and delight the baby from her crib. An alternative to this is a string of butterflies that glow when turned on, similar to Christmas lights. Find these in the home department of stores such as Target and JCPenney.
Wall Decals

Use butterfly wall decals to decorate the walls. Etsy has vinyl wall decal stickers that are custom-made to order in your choice of colors. With a color palette of over 50 color choices, you can match the decals to the colors in your baby's nursery. You can pick up other decals that work well with the butterfly theme, such as clouds for the ceiling or flowers for the butterflies to sit on.
Crib and Bedding
-
Crib
Decorate her crib with a few butterfly items and solid colors to coordinate. The bedding should be simple with a few butterfly items standing out from the rest. While the crib sheet can be a solid bold color, the blanket can be a colorful array of butterflies. The mobile is a great way to showcase hanging butterflies. Babies R Us is a baby store that has a large selection of nursery items for themed rooms, including a butterfly theme. Since butterflies are one of the more popular themes for babies, you'll be able to find several selections of butterfly mobiles available at their store, both online and in-store.
