Decorating the nursery is one of the most exciting and anticipated events on the journey to parenthood. Imagining your new bundle of joy in his or her new room, with each detail created just for them, is just heart-warming!

Since decor can be quite the investment, I always try to get the most longevity out of each design as possible. I advocate for creating nursery spaces that will easily transition into “big kid” rooms with just a few adjustments. You will see from the design below, this airplane-themed nursery will easily serve this lucky little boy well for several years to come.

Be sure to click on each of the images below to learn of details for achieving this look, as well as the plans for the “big boy” room transition. Time flies, and this room SOARS!

Design Board – Inspiration for Airplane Themed Boy Bedroom

Since the rocking chair and crib are needed still, pieces from the bedding will be used here. Rocking chair will be replaced with a “reading nook” Teepee, once the room transitions to a “big boy” space.

Bedding planned for the eventual “big boy” bed.

A very large patterned rug provides added itnerest. THe extra padding will also come in handy when the baby transitions to a “big boy” bed.

The changing pad was placed on the dresser, which allows for easy transition after baby is potty trained.

Time zone clocks are a nice budget-friendly option for a large art display. Dresser is industrial, metal and the trunk style is fitting with the travel theme.

Metal letters add an industrial touch to the room.

A replica of a vintage propeller creates a nice focal point, which will eventually be centered above the “big boy” bed when transitioned out of the crib. Two prints of vintage planes add a touch of color and coordinate well with the vintage globe (from Mom’s childhood). The furniture piece was purchased and replainted from Goodwill and provides lots fo storage for extra linens (crib sheets, waterproof mattress pads and blankets).

What’s that? You’re pregnant? CONGRATULATIONS! Now, it’s time to clear out the old yearbooks and prom dresses from the Guest Room closet. Your baby’s gonna need more storage than three adults combined! How can ONE tiny human need ALL of that stuff???
