Soundproofing the Nursery

One Thing Many New Parents Forget – Soundproofing the Nursery

All expectant parents have concerns about the health and happiness of their baby. In the run up to the birth, parents focus on buying everything from cots through to nappies but one of the last elements to happen is usually the decoration of the nursery. With many being too superstitious to do this very far in advance, time is often short when it comes to decorating, especially with such an important deadline looming, not to mention one which could happen early! One factor that is vitally important for both you and you’re baby and that is often overlooked is soundproofing walls.

Why Does the Nursery Need Soundproofing?
Sleep is an important part of the growth and development of your baby and, as any new parent will tell you, routine is vital – especially when it comes to sleeping. For unsettled babies, it can often take parents hours to get them to sleep. After rocking and singing and tiptoeing out of the room, the last thing you want is for a loud noise outside or next door to wake them up – starting the entire process all over again.

Soundproofing walls is therefore really important in not only ensuring that your baby has a good sleep but that you do too. After all you’re going to need all your energy to keep up with the constant demands of the new addition to your household.

What is Soundproof Wallpaper
DIY soundproofing is now a far cry for the egg-boxed walls of the 70s. Many companies now produce specially designed sound proof wallpapers which are easy to apply and perfectly suitable for use in a Nursery.

Soundproof wallpaper is made up of a series of layers. The first is usually a layer of lining paper and is the section you apply paste to. This is followed by a layer of foam which varies in thickness depending on the brand of soundproof wallpaper you use – Saarpor Latex Sound Proof Wallpaper for example is 5mm thick. The wallpaper is then finished with a thick lining paper which can then be either painted or wallpapered over.

It is the foam layer that helps with soundproofing. It effectively blocks external noise from penetrating the room whether its background traffic noise, a television set in the other room or just noise from neighbours.

Which Walls Should It Be Applied To?
Ideally you should apply sound proof wallpaper like Saarpor Sound Proof Insulating Liner to all the walls in the Nursery ensuring that both external noise and the noise from inside your home are blocked out. This will ensure that your baby isn’t disturbed by unavoidable things like flushing the toilet or opening the front room.

So when you are considering decorating the Nursery ready for your baby’s arrival, make sure that you not only consider the colour and the layout of the room but also the fundamentals like sound proofing for an all-round more enjoyable childhood.

Decorating ideas for boys Wallpaper and Bedroom

Popular decoration themes for young boys rooms are things like Thomas the Tank Engine, Disney’s Cars or space themed boys wallpaper. But when they become a teenager, they are likely to run a mile from these designs. Below we take a look at three different wallpaper options more suited to teenage boys’ bedrooms.

Wall Murals

Although wall murals have generally been aimed at younger children with Disney characters and generic childhood imagery, brand like Walltastic now offer wall murals aimed at older children and teenagers, so there’s options when it comes to choosing a boy’s wall mural for a teenager’s bedroom. You can choose from comic book themes , films such as Star Wars or a world map. Murals generally come in panels so they are easy to hang and remove.

Wallpaper Designs

Boy’s wallpaper designs are a great alternative to wall murals. There is a current trend for British/Union Jack themed designs – bold red, white and blue stripes work really well. This can work all around the room or just as a feature wall. A third option is to contrast two different British wallpaper designs. Another design that is popular for teenage boy’s rooms are street art brick and graffiti designs. These are great for bringing a hit of vibrant colour to the room.

Paint Effects

If you feel like getting a bit creative, then there’s no need to limit yourself only to wallpaper designs or wall murals. You can use paint to create a lot of different effects. As I mentioned before, stripes are very popular and are totally flexible in terms of colour, so you can tailor the look to suit your son’s tastes. You can mix wide and narrow stripes to create a more relaxed look. Another option is to go for contrasting woodwork. When dong this it’s best to keep the walls a neutral colour and highlight the woodwork with a brighter colour. If you don’t have woodwork, a wallpaper border is another way to liven up plain walls.

And if one of those doesn’t please them, then you might have a proper Kevin on your hands.

Ideas for decorating with nursery wallpaper

Planning and decorating the nursery can be one of the more fun tasks to do when expecting a baby. But deciding on a look can be daunting as there’s so much to choose from. So today we’re going to take a look at some of the options available to you to create a lovely nursery for your newborn.

It’s a surprise –  choose a neutral colour scheme

If you don’t want to know whether your baby’s going to be a boy or a girl, then it may discount the traditional blue or pink options. But there’s a range of neutral shades such as magnolia, latte, mocha and other pale brown hues that will be ideal whatever the gender of your child. They are also suitable colours for toddlers and older children so will last a long time if needed. But if you want something that’s aimed more at early years then take a look at nursery wallpaper. Typical designs include furry animals – rabbits, bears, mice and dogs.

It’s a surprise! (colourful colour scheme)

If neutral shades don’t excite you, then there are some great colours at the brighter end of the scale. Bright yellow, orange and lime green are suitable for both boys and girls, will look great in nurseries, but they are also in trend colours for this season. Again, to create a style that’s more specific to a young child’s nursery, combine these colours with zoo themed nursery wallpaper.

It’s a girl!

Pink has long been the colour associated with little girl’s nurseries. But there’s a range within this – from the simple, more traditional pale pinks to shades like fuchsia are more intense and modern in style. You can add detail to the look by using girls nursery wallpaper like princesses, fairies and butterflies. There are also wall murals. A brand like Walltastic offer murals of many popular children’s toys including Barbie and My Little Pony.

It’s a boy!

If you know you’re having a boy, then blue will be the obvious place to start. There are a big range of shades to consider. Baby blue and other pale shades will create a calm, relaxed nursery, but they can also make the room feel a little cold. A solution to this is to use a shade of pale blue that has been warmed up with a touch of grey, or use some boys nursery wallpaper to add some different colours to the walls.

Whether your baby is a boy or a girl, and whether you want to opt for traditional colour schemes or something a bit different, there are colours and wall effects available.
