The Relevance of Themed Baby Furniture

A few years ago, all the nurseries contained Baby Furniture created according to theme. Whether it be animal themed or one of the children's favorite television characters, everything was done accordingly. From the Baby Furniture, to the wallpaper and soft furnishings were to be decorated in the same print or theme.

The question being asked today, is whether it is still appropriate or ‘in fashion’ to cover the nursery in such a way. Not only does the Baby Furniture rarely fit in with the rest of your house's décor, but do the babies even realize that their nursery is themed with a specific character? As you let your thoughts go on what the nursery should look like, bear in mind what type of Baby Furniture would suit the rest of your home and your lifestyle.

Current Trends in Baby Furniture

The current trends in Baby Furniture seem to move towards neutral, earthy tones, with only one or two colours brought into the nursery with accessories and curtains. By doing things this way you can quickly change the look and feel of the nursery without having to replace all the Baby Furniture, where as a themed nursery will need total replacement when the transition from baby to toddler takes place . Very few people can truly afford, or have the time to completely redo the room with new Baby Furniture, and therefore has no choice but to either leave the room as it is or create a miss-matched room no one would be satisfied with.

The big problem with themed Baby Furniture is that it simply binds you to a set look, and doesn’t allow you to jump between colours or styles. You can however buy the main Baby Furniture pieces in neutral colours and styles, and this way still tie your nursery together with themed accessories that can be quickly changed according to your preference . You can still add removable decorations to the Baby Furniture, as long as none of the fixtures are permanent.

With the cost of Baby Furniture rising very steeply, it is important to buy your Baby Furniture in a style that will last you a lifetime. Items that can later be converted into a toddler bed or some other furniture is another method of saving money in the long run. Just ensure that the Baby Furniture you need to buy is of high quality, otherwise the multi-functionality would be of no use to you as the Baby Furniture would not last long enough.
