Decorating a nursery can be an expensive endeavor, but there is no need to break the bank! Today’s mom wants to create the nursery of her dreams without spending a small fortune. We would like to show you how you can decorate your baby’s room with on trend and budget-friendly décor items that you can find online or at your local retailer. Children’s room accessories in the latest trends can be found at Target, Homegoods, World Market, IKEA and TJMaxx. Here are some of the trends we’re featuring in our latest bedding collections.
Sweet floral prints are making a comeback in the nursery! Traditional floral prints accented in new color trends are a fun twist on this classic style. Bring out the color in this soft fabric by adding in pops of coral, aqua and gold with a rug, wall décor, lamps and other room accents.

Other ideas for stretching your nursery dollars:
Search for Discounts
Before purchasing anything on a website, first check to see if any discounts are available for following them on social media or for signing up for their email list. Most websites offer anywhere from 5% to 20% off your first order for simply adding your email address to their mailing list!
Swap and Upcycle
Swapping is the new shopping! Websites like Swap.com, Freecycle.com, and ThredUp.com have hundreds of people looking to exchange items, including lots of baby stuff. You can also check out your local Craigslist or Facebook Swip Swap to find used nursery items. Pre-owned items may need some refurbishing but will be much less expensive than brand new!
Invest in Longevity
Between the ages of 18 months and three years, your toddler will make the transition from his/her crib to a big kid bed. Keep this in mind when purchasing items for your nursery. Decorating the room with décor that will easily grow with your child will save you from spending too much as he/she moves from the crib to a bed.

I really like the Buck Forest Mint Crib Bedding Set!!!! I bought mint accents such as a lamp and rug and painted one wall a light mint in the nursery and bought the buck forest boys crib set from the boys depot! I found some really unique accent pieces on etsy. I wish I had know about etsy years ago.
