Baby nursery borders are no different than any other border. They might include motifs of baby gear that would only be of interest to the proud parents of a tiny baby, but beyond that you might say that border is border. And that would be the end of discussion except that nursery borders can be so much fun to create if you use your hidden talents as an artist.

You will go about the selection of a baby wall border in much the same way as you would pick wallpaper and the best paint colors for any other room in your house. Wag the piece of baby bedding fabric that you want to match down to the mall, isolate the patterns that strike your fancy, pick up the number of rolls that you require, hang the strips on the nursery wall and your wall will be finished. This process of bordering your babys nursery is efficient and effective, but its also rather boring.

The question is often asked printed wallpaper borders are better to use to decorate babys wall a stenciled or painted nursery border. The answer to this question depends on how much time you have on your hands and whether or not you can find border at the store that will match the rest of your accessories. If you choose to buy your border, it will save you some time and it may be slightly more expensive than to stencil a decorative border. Painting a stenciled border will take more time than pasting up a printed border, but to decorate the walls using this method may be cheaper.

You might get lucky enough to find a matching border on sale at the store for a deep discount. Before buying whats left in the stores inventory, you should have the exact dimensions of your room and know exactly how many rolls of paper that you must have for your wall. It would be extremely disastrous to run short of border only to find that theres not any more available because the style has been sold out or discontinued.

Painting a stenciled rather than hanging a wallpaper border in your nursery can be lots of fun. Painting is also an excellent way to get an exact color match to the rest of your babys nursery decorations and wall paint color. You have the option of buying a laser cut border stencil or you can make your own stencils that you can use over and over. The idea of making their own unique decorative stencils appeals to many parents.

If youd like to make your own baby nursery border pattern but wonder if your artistic skills will make for a successful project, you shouldnt worry! Baby motifs are some of the most simple designs to cut. You can take pictures of your babys footprints or handprints and use them as your pattern. You can use your baby footprint and hand print stencils to stamp a unique nursery border in any color that works for you. The tradition colors are pink and blue and if that is what you like, by all means stamp away! You should know that those are not your only options. Try different colors to see which color looks the very best in your babys nursery.
