Curtains For Nursery And Rugs For Baby Room

By Darren Hartley


The perfect finishing touch to the baby's room is the addition of the appropriate fabric for the curtains for nursery. While others may think that their choice is nothing to fret about, there are actually important things to consider in choosing nursery curtains. There is so much that can be said about the importance of color when it comes to the nursery curtain selection.

Blinds that lessen the light in a room and dark colors for the curtains for nursery are the choices for parents during the first six weeks of the baby. This leaves the baby less distracted from his chief activity of napping. It is only when the baby reaches six months that parents transition to curtains with brighter colors including lighter pinks and sky blue.

The material of the curtains for nursery must also be a consideration for parents. Cotton, silk and even netted curtains make for fantastic window treatments. Living in a cold climate makes thicker material a better bet. They keep a nursery warm, preventing cold drafts coming from windows especially during the winter months.

Warmth, color and personality are the three things that baby room rugs bring to the nursery. A requirement for the choice of the best baby rugs is the examination of the baby room. Deep thought on what kind of rug will best suit the room, a measurement of the space to determine what rug size will exactly fit the room and the blending of the rug to the color scheme or decorating theme of the room are the steps involved in the aforementioned examination.

The type of baby room rugs that will work best for the nursery has to be known first before any rug purchase is done. While a carpeted nursery would require only an addition of a few pieces of accent rugs, a nursery with hardwood or tile floors may require a large area rug to cover a major portion of the barren floor space.

An alternative to the placement of one large area rug in the center of the nursery is the use of several small baby room rugs. A half circle rug can adorn the front of the changing table while a rectangular rug may be displayed in front of the crib.
