Setting up a nursery: Part 1 - Popular colour schemes:

Having a child is one of the most exciting times of a person's life. And whether you're expecting your first bundle of joy, or adding to your brood, if your family is expecting an addition there's bound to be preparations to be done around the house!

Setting up the nursery is possibly the most important thing you will have to do for your new baby's arrival, and whether you are renovating a room, or upgrading a current nursery, deciding on a colour scheme is important.

If you are concerned about the potentially hazardous fumes from paint, why not consider wallpaper as an alternative to a DIY painting job?

Wallpaper is perfect for a nursery as there are so many different varieties with lots of fun patterns! You might want to go traditional and link your wallpaper colour to your baby's sex, or buck the trend and go for something completely different!

There are so many wallpaper styles for baby rooms available on the market, including, but certainly not limited to, aeroplanes, alphabets and numbers, clouds, teddy bears and even dinosaurs.

Removing old wallpaper can be a tricky job so using a wallpaper steamer, available at your local Kennards Hire, can help get the job done quickly and easily. By dissolving the adhesive behind the paper, a steamer can make hanging your new paper straightforward - even mums-to-be might be able to tackle the challenge!
