Designing a baby's room often means picking out the basics for baby furniture and coordinating them together with the decor of the room, including baby sheets, lamps, and wall art. One option for baby furniture for a simple but embellished style for a baby's room is with hand painted nursery furniture. Many pieces of hand painted nursery furniture are a solid color - white usually, but pale pink and blue are also common - with a hand-painted trim or picture painted onto the body of the furniture. As designing a baby's room often involves whether the baby is a boy or a girl, these pieces of hand painted baby furniture also realize that fact and, for a unique piece of furniture, choose from such hand painted items as stools with rose buds or princesses for a girl or sail boats or blue birds for a baby boy. If you don't know the sex, or want to keep the baby's room gender neutral, such pieces of hand painted nursery furniture include animals painted on furniture and cradles with a forest scene painted on one end.
One of the most common pieces of baby furniture to be hand painted is a cradle, although cribs and bassinets are common as well. These pieces of baby furniture have one design aspect in common - a large, flat surface on one or both ends. These serve as a canvas for a designer to paint the baby furniture. These large, flat ends are painted with woodland scenes or patterns in bright colors. Even if you're choosing one piece of furniture to be hand painted, a cradle, crib, or bassinet will stand out in the room as hand painted nursery furniture.
Other baby furniture is hand painted, as well, in designs appropriate for either a baby boy or girl. Such pieces of hand painted nursery furniture include rocking chairs, high chairs, tables, and stools. Most of these items are painted with a border, while others are painted with such images as sailboats, airplanes, and animals. Others, as by the nature of the furniture's design, have a combination of both images and decorative borders.
