we have after months of debating over diff themes finally settled on a contemporary nursery theme for our baby... there is way too much choice out there.. and u just want to do everything.
it depends on what your child likes.. do u want some disney character? a certain theme (jungle, farmyard animals, underwater theme etc)... or someting more sophisticated...
you can take visit a childrens furniture store and see waht they have.. usually they have diff themed rooms already layed out with beds, closets, and decorated walls and accessories so u can get a feel of what the room will look like... ikea has some..
one aspect i really look fwd to having in the child's room once its older, is a wall where it can paint and scribble and draw on.. like a huge huge blackboard... you get a certain kind of paint that you paint the walls with, and the child uses washable crayons and paints and pencils.. all u do aftewards is, clean off with a cold wet cloth.... kids LOVE drawing on walls.. so i love the idea
I've that in a magazine, i'll scan it and post for you inshaAllah.
