Decorating a Baby Room With a Butterfly Nursery Theme

A butterfly nursery theme is a great theme for a baby girl’s room. It is also a very versatile theme since it also works well for a toddler, and young girl so decorating your nursery in a butterfly theme could save you the time and cost of having to redecorate the room many times as your daughter grows.



When planning a butterfly nursery theme, find a butterfly nursery bedding set that you like. This will help you decide how to decorate the room. Having bedding will help you pick what paint colors and art work will look best in the room.

Pink, lilac, white, or yellow are all great paint colors for a butterfly nursery. Once again, you will want to take the bedding into consideration when deciding on your paint colors. Other options for the walls could include using a butterfly wall border. You could also make a garden scene on the wall with a picket fence, flowers, and butterflies.


Décor for the room could include butterfly art work, wall hangings, and a butterfly growth chart. If you do a belly cast, you could paint it with butterflies or a garden scene and use it as décor in your butterfly nursery theme.

White furniture would look especially striking with a butterfly nursery theme because of the contrast of colors but any color furniture will work fine. If you want to carry the butterfly theme through to your furniture pieces, you could apply decals of butterflies or flowers to the pieces or stencil them on with paint. Butterfly knobs on the dresser would also be cute.

Complete the room by adding some butterfly finishing touches such as butterfly lamps and nightlights, a butterfly rug. Spelling your baby’s name out on the wall with letters is also a cute idea. Other finishing touches could include hanging a butterfly coat rack, using a butterfly curtain rod, and putting a butterfly fan pull on the ceiling fan if your nursery has one. Little touches like this will help pull the whole room together.
