How To: Decorating Your Baby Nursery With Damask

Damask is an elegant and playful décor scheme for a child’s nursery. The most common damask color scheme in a young one’s nursery is black and white. This color scheme can easily be accented with different pops of color, such as blue and pinks, throughout the room. The damask print patterns that are most commonly used in nurseries are botanical prints and intricate geometric designs. However, it is not uncommon to find motifs that feature polka dots interspersed with those geometric patters in a more modern twist on traditional prints. Damask nursery décor can be used in a variety of ways.

For example, for a dramatic effect, a damask print or stencil can be added to the walls of the nursery. However, for a subtler effect, damask can be incorporated into a nursery in a variety of different manners. For example, it could be used as a changing pad cover for a changing table, in decorative pillows, or in the drapery for the room. Additional potential uses include a diaper stacker constructed from damask fabric, a lampshade, or a high chair pad. Damask has even been used to construct musical mobiles for cribs.

Before an individual begins to choose damask pieces for their nursery, they will need to evaluate the space they will be working within. This size of the space will determine the layout and the number of pieces of furniture that an individual will maintain in the space. Once the basic pieces and layout of the room has been established, then the decorating may begin, which is a rather fun process. The first step in the decorating process is to choose the color combination of the room. At this point, an individual should choose whether plan to make damask the focal point of the room or simply allow it accent another color scheme.

Crib bedding sets, which include sheets, a bumper pad, and a crib ruffle, can be purchased in damask. Wall hangings, lamps, and curtains are other manners in which damask can be more subtly introduced into a room. The number of ways in which damask can be incorporated into a child’s nursery is only limited by an individual’s creativity and monetary budget.
