Choosing paints for your nursery? Great places to look for inspiration

Colourful paints are a fantastic way to decorate your baby’s nursery room. If you have a baby on the way, you will understandably be filled with joy and anticipation.

Unfortunately there are a lot of expenses associated with having a baby. There’s the new cot, high chair, and car seats, not to mention pricey nappies. After you’ve bought all your baby supplies, you may be close to broke before you have even had a chance to decorate the baby room.

Don’t despair! Painting is a cheap way for you to decorate the nursery. Using colourful paints, you can decorate your baby’s nursery, giving it a very personal touch. No matter what theme or colours you want for your baby room, a few tins of paint will get you there.
