Baby Wall Letters For Baby's Nursery

Expectant parents decorating the nursery may find baby wall letters to be the perfect accent for the baby's room. Available in an assortment of designs, materials, colors, and sizes, the ideal baby wall letters are out there for any family.

Designs

A nursery decorated in primary colors will be accented beautifully by wooden block-style letters in coordinating shades. A girl's room decorated in pastels may benefit from plaques with cursive letters, hung individually with ribbons. Some baby wall letters incorporate general themes, such as sports, teddy bears, or trucks. A more general design may improve the chances that a growing child will want to keep them on his/her wall, even after the baby theme is no longer appealing.

Materials

Big wooden letters painted with lead-free paint are one of the most common baby wall letters. They are virtually unbreakable, and the choice of colors is endless. Also available are letters made of cloth and stuffed or quilted, which may fit very well in a room decorated with homey, hand-made décor. Canvas stretched across a wood frame provides an ideal space for painting or stitching baby wall letters to hang from a ribbon or string.

Colors

The color of the baby wall letters is entirely the choice of the parents. They come in primary colors, pastels, designs, and even in black and white. Parents may want to pull colors from the crib set and other decorations to use in choosing the colors for the letters. Each letter may be a different color or design, or they may be all the same, or alternating in a pattern. It is a personal choice.

Size

The average size of these letters is about 8 to 10 inches high, but this also is a matter of choice. It the letters are too small, they will not add to the general décor of the room. Considerations in choosing the size of the baby wall letters include where in the room t hey will be hung, how long the baby's name is (or whatever you will be spelling), and what other decorations are already hanging in the room. When using suitable sizes and coordinating colors, baby wall letters are an excellent addition to any nursery.
