When we start the New Year, we often think of ways to start fresh and create a positive future. Those are all things that happen with the birth of a new baby as well. These well wishes for the future also make wonderful accents for a nursery. Here are some inspirational room designs paired with our personalized growth charts.

Bright pinks and aquas create a joyful nursery, as does the wall art that inspires baby to dream big, which is why we’d add the All About Love personalized growth chart to this space. (Image courtesy of Project Nursery)

Did you use inspirational words in your baby’s room?

Right now, most of the country is covered in a blanket of snow and ice, and even here in “sunny” California we’re experiencing lots of chilly gray days. This winter weather totally makes us crave fun, bright colors. We found some colorful, uplifting nurseries and kids’ rooms we love and paired them with some of our personalized growth charts.

From the pennant banner to the rug to the table & chair set, this little kid’s room is one big playful burst of color. Would you choose a single hued Perfect Pennant personalized growth chart or keep the multi-colored theme going with a personalized growth chart like the Colorful Words in Candy.

For many cultures, the start of a New Year is often coupled with traditions to ensure good fortune. And if you’re expecting a newborn at this time of year, a great idea for decorating the nursery is to include one or more of these symbols into the décor.
We’ve picked a couple of good luck symbols and found some adorable nursery décor, including personalized growth charts, bedding, lighting, mobiles, etc.

Red is a symbol of good luck and happiness in China and in Spain it’s tradition to wear a pair of new red underwear on New Year’s Eve for good luck. (shown: Perfect Pennant personalized growth chart, Ducduc Red Dylan Crib, DIY Elephant Lamp)

Water – a nautical theme is often used for summer babies, but water cleanses away any bad fortune and makes a beautiful theme year round. (Under the Sea personalized growth chart, Coastal Living Wave Hello Rug, Ocean Depths Blue Baby Mobile)

A range of different foods (lentils, mangoes, bread, etc) and sweets are eaten in different cultures as a sign the New Year will be a sweet and bountiful one. (Shown: We All Scream personalized growth chart, Candy Land Fabric Mobile, Consider Yourself Hugged Ice Cream Lovie Blanket)
Have you incorporated a good luck symbol into your baby’s nursery? How did you do it, with personalized growth charts, bedding, lighting, mobiles, etc.?

Whimsical or sophisticated, peacocks make a pretty choice for a nursery. And whether you feature the bird itself and/or its feathers, there are a range of deep purples, greens, and blues to choose from to decorate with.
We’ve rounded up some peacock inspired nursery décor you will be proud to decorate with.

Wall art, like a personalized growth chart or alphabet poster, is an easy way to incorporate the pretty bird into décor.  (ONE: Animal Crackers and TWO: My City personalized growth charts; THREE: Zoo Friends alphabet poster)

Are you traveling to visit family or friends this Thanksgiving? Or maybe like us you’re just a big fan of the classic movie Planes, Train & Automobiles starring Steve Martin and the late great John Candy. Either way, we love the idea of using planes, trains, and/or cars as a theme for a nursery.
We’ve rounded up some fantastic nursery designs that feature these forms of transportation and paired our personalized growth charts with them.

Colorful and fun, this adorable nursery features all kinds of moving vehicles and we think the On the Go personalized growth chart would complement it perfectly, don’t you? (Image courtesy of Must Have Mom blog)

If you’re designing a nursery for a new baby girl, pink may seem too cliché, but it doesn’t have to be. And if you aren’t into décor that’s super girly, consider combining pink with chocolate brown, sage green, or grays to really ground the color, or go with a clean white room with pops of pinks in various shades.
We’ve found some pink décor that will give a nursery real impact.
Whether it’s solid pink or paired with another accent color, a personalized growth chart from Petite Lemon is an easy way to accentuate a nursery decorated in shades of pink.

What do you think, is pink for you?

Maybe because it’s fall and we’re in a seasonal mindset, but lately we’ve really been drawn to brown and orange color combinations.  We love the warmth of brown hues set against a vibrant orange and the color combo’s openness to other accent shades, like light blue/aqua, white, and gray. Plus, it works well for a range of boy, girl, and gender neutral themes.
We paired some of our personalized growth charts with a few fab nurseries decorated predominantly in browns and oranges.

We love using splashes of bold reds in our décor year round, but at this time of year, a rich cranberry hue just feels right. It’s warm and pretty and adds lots of impact to a room, whether used a little or a lot.
We found a few nurseries with cranberry colored accents and matched some of our personalized growth charts that would nicely complement them.

Bright and colorful, this uplifting space for baby would only get better with the Doodle it Up personalized growth chart. (Apartment Therapy)
