Does anyone ever worry they are creating a room for themselves and not for the baby?
I have a semi-theme in mind (vintage travel), but I worry it may be too "grown-up" or not interesting to the baby, that I should stick with more kid-friendly decor (not necessarily babyish decor, but something more interesting to a baby).
Does anyone know what I mean? Please share your thoughts!
Re: Dilemma: Projecting your own taste on baby's room
Well in the end, your taste is going to show through no matter what you do. I can guarantee you that your baby doesn't care what theme you pick. Besides, by the time your child develops enough of his/her own tastes to choose a room theme, you'll be re-doing the room to fit the child. Don't worry so much mama, go with the theme you chose and incorporate baby friendly items and colors!
My son is 3 now and if I let him choose his room theme he would have a new one everyday. We did a nautical themed room for him when we bought our house and he's perfectly happy with it.
I agree! It's not like your baby is able to tell you how they'd prefer the urban cityscape wall decal over the big tree. Our guy's room is totally a reflection of my H and me (cool, calming colors that I like and robots/rockets, which my H likes). I think nurseries are fun b/c it gives people a chance to have some crazy fun with decorating (rockets flying over cribs??). You can do things out of the norm.
If you wanted to do a nursery that would truly interest your baby, it would have to be all black and white and very graphic at the beginning and then you would be constantly redecorating as your baby travels through development stages.
So do what you like.
