Decor
Thrift & Upcycle Nursery Decor (No Power Tools Required)
Frames, fabric bunting, and calm shelves — decorating softly without a big spend.
Safety notes
- Anchor any shelves; keep heavy items away from cribs.
- No pillows, loose blankets, or soft objects in sleep spaces for infants.
- Avoid cords, string lights within reach, and small magnet decor.
Calm walls help adults as much as babies. You can create that feeling from secondhand finds.
Ideas
Thrift frames with kids' art or free printable botanicals; fabric scrap bunting hung high; a single plant out of reach; a mirror secured tightly and nowhere a child can pull furniture.
Paint and smell
If painting, choose low-VOC, ventilate well, and finish well before baby sleeps in the room.
