Put Up a Gallery Wall
Adding a gallery wall to your baby's nursery is a fun way to showcase family photos and favorite artworks. An inexpensive way to create your own salon-style wall is by framing interesting fabrics or wrapping paper.

Paint a Cool Pattern
These soft pink-and-white striped walls add just enough interest to the nursery without being too overwhelming. Keep the rest of the decor simple and neutral to keep the room a relaxed retreat.

Look Up
Designer Amy Elbaum's client loved the look of a white nursery but also was a big fan of wallpaper. Instead of covering the walls (and risk stains and wear and tear as the baby became older), they added wallpaper to the ceiling. An added bonus? The baby loves looking up at the patterned ceiling when she's in her crib.

Try Decals
Applying fun decals to the wall is an inexpensive and commitment-free way to add some visual interest to the room. In this bright and modern nursery, adorable cat decals line the wall where the crib is placed.

Make Your Own Crib Pelmet
Designers Nate Berkus and James Pickens put their own twist on a canopy with fabric, batting, and plywood. Just make sure the pelmet is safely anchored to the wall, and the CPSC recommends that a crib be placed three feet away from any drapery.

Hang Lanterns
A cluster of paper lanterns is a fun and unique substitute for a mobile. Of course, be extra careful when securing the pieces to the ceiling so they don't fall down on baby later.

Choose a Bold Palette
Don't be afraid to experiment with bold colors. For this New York loft apartment's nursery, designer Steven Sclaroff chose a tangerine rug that is a striking contrast to the walls upholstered in Marimekko's playful African Kuningatar.

Getty Your bedroom is supposed to be a relaxing, tranquil oasis where you can recharge after a grueling day and wake up refreshed — but if you're like the 60% of people who report weekly sleep problems, it might not be. Look out for these tricky things that might be negatively impacting the quality of your shut-eye. 1. Your Technology That means smartphones, tablets, TVs, you name it. The artificial light that's emitted from these devices results in less melatonin production in the brain (the chemical that helps you fall asleep and regulates your sleep cycle), meaning you'll have a harder time dozing off. 2. Your Heavy (or Electric) Blankets Even though a warm and cozy setup might sound like something that would help you sleep better, higher body temperatures disrupt sleep — so you're better off sticking with a lightweight sheet or bedspread. 3. Your Wall Color If your bedroom walls are brown, purple, grey, gold, or red, they might be negatively affecting your slee
