We'll show you creative ideas for how you can set up the nursery and decorate it with imagination. Even simple furniture, such as an Ikea dresser, can become a real design highlight.
Nursery design – decorating ideas for a chest of drawers
The Ikea Malm dresser is a popular piece of furniture: a simple, durable basic model. Here are a few ideas for turning this practical dresser into something more personal. The first idea is very simple: collect leftover wallpaper and apply it to the drawer fronts. Make sure the pattern and color suit the room. You can also decorate the dresser with wall decals; children are sure to enjoy extra color, numbers, or playful motifs. Hang pictures above the dresser to complete the project and finish the nursery!
Nursery design – giving furniture more character
When you set up the nursery, first ask children whether they have their own ideas or wishes. Younger children often like colorful pictures and cheerful characters, while older children may prefer black-and-white drawings or simpler graphics. Paint the sideboard in a solid color or decorate the drawers with stripes. One creative mother painted each drawer in a different color; you can find that idea below. Apricot is lovely for a girl's room, while blue and dark green are good choices for a boy's room.
