Wall ideas for decorating a baby nursery in lavender.

  • Paint the walls off-white or taupe then add lavender accents.

  • Stencil a design in lavender around top of wall.
  • Stencil a design in lavender around the windows, doors and chair rail height.
  • You can easily make your own stencil (trace your own simple design onto plastic document protectors and carefully cut out with a craft blade.) or purchase exactly the stencil design (do a search for 'stencils') you want at your local craft store.

One more thought on using ideas for decorating your baby's nursery in lavender.
Do you like the look but don't feel like the creative type? That's okay! Find a friend that relishes this type of decorating and exchange jobs to help each other out. For example,  if you cook, cook her several freezer meals. If you're an organizing whiz, organize her closets. Provide child care for her for a weekend or plant flowers in her garden, all the while she decorates your baby nursery in lavender and both of you are happy mothers!
