Decorating a Nursery for your Twins

Decorating and stacking up a nursery for twins can be an exciting as well as challenging endeavor. Given below are some interesting options that promise to make the affair less stressful and more worthwhile.

Color it Cute

Let’s begin with the basics. Take a good look at the color palate on offer. The best way of keeping the identity of your twins separate is by choosing diverse but coordinated colors for the nursery’s walls, beddings and all that is within. For instance, if you are expecting twins of different sexes, then it makes good sense to play around with shades of pink and baby blue.

Choosing separate colors can be a lot of fun and creates a signature section for each baby. If you are twins are expected to be of the same gender, then you can go in for two distinct colors and frame the theme of your nursery around the same. You can use these colors to base your selection of nursery accessories and your babies’ personal belongings and toiletries too—provided they are not too outrageous!

Double Trouble

While decorating and organizing a nursery for twins, you need to understand and maintain the concept of “individuality in duality to the core. So, think of a double cot, double bunk beds for later use, double-sided mirror, toys having two faces and so forth. You can go hunting for same types of prams, cribs and other nursery items as well.

Fraternal twins can be Fun

If you are expecting fraternal twins, then you can look forward to a lot of fun and frolic coming your way. You can give vent to your creative streaks and go all out to create the right look and feel. So, go ahead and apply the cats and dogs theme or look for other contrasting ideas to create the right male-female divide. However if your twins are of the same gender, then a different superhero for either male child and a doll and princess theme for girls surely does the trick. You can get a lot of inspiration from fairy tale and comic characters as well.

‘Two’ Cute

Well, in most cases, mothers plan to put everything in twos in their twins’ nursery. However, there is no hard and fast rule for the same. Apart from purchasing stuff that requires absolute distinction like toothbrushes, bedding, feeding bottles and so forth; you can go ahead and organize a single section for things that can be easily distinguished. Apart from cutting down the clutter and cost, keeping common things in the same place also helps you save time and remain better organized!
