A pastel base with lots of colorful accents or wallpaper with a simple design are good choices. Choose decorations that mix plenty of primary and secondary colors but nothing overwhelmingly bright. Dark colors will not only make a room look smaller, but they also don’t offer a baby much stimulation. A plain white room with nothing to decorate the walls also doesn’t offer adequate stimulation.
Another option is having a professional come in a paint a whimsical scene on the walls of baby’s room. The expense often equals having a room papered, and it’s easier to paint over a scene than to pull down paper.
Finally, for baby’s nighttime entertainment, try sticking some glow-in-the-dark stickers – often available in stars and planet shapes – to the ceiling.
