Babies are expensive, and we are not always ready when we find out that we are going to be blessed with a new addition to the family. If you find that you just don't feel that you have the money you wish you had, remember that if most people waited until they could afford a baby, there would be far fewer of them in the world today. You can make it work with a little imagination and some money saving tips. You can go about decorating a baby nursery for far less than you probably think. You can have a great looking room without having to take out a small loan to get it done.

You are probably thinking about how you would like to be decorating a baby nursery with colors and a theme, but you may also be thinking that this is just too expensive. It does not have to be. You can paint a room very cheaply, and you can get almost any color you can imagine at any paint store. If you can dream it up, they can mix the color for you, and it is usually the same price as any other color paint. Be sure to choose your color and paint the room with enough time to spare so that the room can be aired out before baby comes home. Look for nursery safe paints also.

For other decorative touches, think about wallpaper boarders or wall stickers. These are often very inexpensive items you can use when decorating a baby nursery. These are more and more common today, and that means you may find whatever you wish when you search. Look online and look in your local home decor and home improvement stores to see what is out there. In comparison to other things you can do, these are by far the least expensive items you can get but they come with a lot of decorative bang.

Think about finding gently used baby furniture when you are decorating a baby nursery on a budget. You have to be careful, as you have to make sure the items you choose have not been recalled and do not have any problems. They should be in very good shape before you put your baby in them. There are many great ways to find good but used furniture items. You can repaint or re-stain them if you wish, but remember to use baby friendly paints and stains when you do this, and as with paint on the walls, do your work long before baby arrives so they can air out well.

There may be some items you want to have that you simply can not afford. These are things that you can put on your baby registry. You may not get them, but you may also get all that you want. Just make sure that when decorating a baby nursery, and then stocking it, that you do spend your money on the essentials first. Then you can use your imagination, and your family and friends, to fill in the rest.
