Baby Room Borders - Creative Ideas for Fun Baby Nursery Borders

When decorating your baby nursery, you may want to use a border around the walls. But don’t feel that you are limited to buying and using wallpaper borders in the baby nursery. Here are some ideas for making interesting baby nursery borders for your baby’s room:

Stencil a border around the room using items that match your baby nursery’s theme. For example, if you have a Winnie the Pooh nursery theme, you can create a border by stenciling Pooh, honey pots, bees, etc. around the room. For a Beach themed baby room, you could stencil a border of palm trees, beach balls, seashells, or beach buckets.

If you have a car themed baby nursery, create a race track border by painting a road around the room with a dark gray paint. If you want, paint a finish line somewhere on the border. When the border has dried, use a hot glue gun to attach race cars (matchbox or hot wheels cars work great) around the race track border. For a train themed baby room, a similar border could be created by painting train tracks and gluing toy trains on them.

An alternative to a growth chart is to create a handprint border. You can use your baby’s handprints to create a border around the room. Get some non toxic latex paint in a color or colors that you want. Use a sponge or a foam brush to lightly coat your baby’s hand with the paint and then press the hand on the wall where you want the border. It is best to mark off where you want the border ahead of time. Also decide how far apart you want the handprints to be. If you want, you can do a set of handprints and footprints every month as your baby grows. It would be a unique spin on a growth chart for your child’s room.

Another idea for a border is to use wall decals. They could be of the alphabet, nursery rhymes, animals, or items related to your room’s theme. Place them equally spaced apart all the way around the room to create a quick and easy wall border. When it comes to decorating your baby nursery, remember to let your creative juices flow freely. You may surprise yourself with what you are capable of creating!
