Decorate A Celestial Themed Nursery

It's time to welcome your new baby with a room that's out of this world! A celestial themed nursery is a great way to show your creativity, and you never know, maybe you'll be raising a little astronomer or astronaut! This theme can fit a room that's either small or big, just pick and choose from the suggestions below until you have a space that fits your style. We have also included some budget tips to help you keep some of the expenses of a new baby down.

Celestial Theme

 

This theme isn't nearly as complicated as it sounds, and it's versatile enough to be used for either a boy or a girl, which is perfect if you're one of those parents who would like a surprise! The predominant color for this theme is blue, but the soft nuances necessary to create the right atmosphere make it gender non-specific. It's also important to keep in mind that a celestial theme means you can either go with a starry night or a sunny day, so this theme is incredibly versatile indeed.

So let's begin decorating!

Walls, Ceilings, Windows and Floor

 

As mentioned previously, most of the colors used will be blue, whether light blue for the day theme, or dark blue for the night theme. Also, if you're using the day theme, whites and yellows can also be a good choice.
The ceiling is a critical piece for the celestial theme. Either paint it dark blue for a starry night theme, or light blue to depict a sunny day. To make things really fun, you can use those glow-in-the-dark stick on stars to spread across the ceiling. Or alternately, you can add cloud versions of the stars for the day theme. You can even paint or stencil on your own clouds. When it comes to the walls, start by getting a star and moon, or sun and clouds wallpaper.

Budget tip: Wallpapers, while lovely, can be both expensive and difficult to apply. You can save yourself some time and money by using paint instead. No matter the theme, a light blue color would go best. If you still want to include a little wallpaper for that extra oomph, get some funky, sky-themed borders to put around the door.

For the windows, you'll need to add either some drapes or valances. For a classic combination, use white or yellows to compliment the ceiling and walls. Yellow can even be used in the night theme, because a darker yellow can help accent the stars. Lastly, don't forget about the floor. Now, you may already have carpet in the room, but if you don't, you have a couple of choices. You can find a fun star and moon carpet, or if that's too much pattern with what you have already, get plain dark blue.

Furniture Time

Furniture essentials are a must, like a crib, a changing table, and a dresser in which to keep the baby's clothes. With the celestial theme you can really use any color, but white would certainly be a good pick. If you have some extra space in the room, you could also add a small nightstand, a bed, and a couch. The bed is useful as a place for you to sleep on those nights when you feel the need to stay close to the baby, or a bed or a couch can be a good place for friends and family to sit when they are visiting the new arrival.
Budget Tip: This is particularly useful if you plan on keeping that room as the permanent room of the baby. After all, eventually your child will grow into the bed, saving you money later on.

Time to Decorate

Now it's time to put the finishing touches on your baby's room with decorations! A night lamp would be a great idea, and also practical. For the starry night theme, get a moon shaped night light. For the sunny day theme, get one that's shaped like the sun. Put it somewhere where it's convenient and still easily seen. Next, get some celestial-themed bedding for the crib and/or bed. You should be able to find a bedding set with stars or suns on it in most stores.

Budget Tip: Buy all your bedding at once and save with a bed set. The same way you book a vacation flight, hotel and rental, this can save you money.

If you haven't reached the end of your budget yet, you can also add a store and moon musical mobile over the crib. Also, add teddy bears and other plush toys on the changing table and other parts of the room for a cute touch. Don't forget to use light colors to keep the theme consistent. You could even choice nocturnal stuffed animals only if you've got a night theme. You could choose any animal. Maybe you want stuffed cows, or plush dogs and plush cats. Arrange them in places that will really brighten up the cuteness factor of the room.

So there you go! You now have a beautiful nursery with which to welcome your new baby. Remember, you can be as creative as you want, or as a budget friendly. Take these suggestions, and soon you'll have the perfect celestial hideaway!
