Baseball Themed Nursery Tips

When setting up the perfect baseball themed room for your little one there are various angles to take. From vintage baseball to decorating for your favorite team, let your love of baseball shine in this special room for your little guy.

If you are a huge baseball-loving family this theme can work for either gender. Though men tend to lean more towards a deep love of sports than women, there are many women who love sports and being active as well! A baseball room is most commonly used for a little boy but do not let that limit you. A sports nursery can be a great selection for a little girl too.

When setting up a baseball nursery there is a lot of decor that you can purchase online. You can also create your own with the help of stores like Hobby Lobby which make it easy to make adorable baseball decor as well. 

If you live in a town (or near one) with a major baseball team or a popular college team your decor options available will be even broader. For instance, you cannot seem to go anywhere in Los Angeles, Atlanta, or even Eugene without being bombarded with Dodgers, Braves, or Ducks gear respectively.

Consider whether you want your baby’s room to highlight all of baseball or feature a specific favorite team. If you opt for your family’s favorite team for your baby room designs that will dictate your color scheme. 

 

How to Set Up the Perfect Baseball Themed Nursery

Begin with Designing the Walls

After reading through the previous section perhaps you have already decided whether you want a more generic baseball theme or one centered around a certain team. Once you know that, you will be able to select your color scheme.

If you have chosen to use a generic baseball theme or perhaps a vintage baseball theme the color scheme is mostly centered around white, blue and/or red, and brown. You could select one of these colors to paint the room or simply paint an accent wall. Another option is a baseball wallpaper that can be used on one or all walls.

If you decide to do an accent wall, a bold baseball wallpaper like you can see below can be a fun option.

Once the walls are finished then it’s time to select some wall decor. A very popular piece of nursery wall art is a name sign. You can get a custom name sign created to match your theme with your baby’s name on it. Hang it over the crib for the most en-vogue style.

Add in a few pieces of wall art to tie the room together. It’s alright to wait until you have the rest of the room set up to decide exactly where you want to hang your baseball wall art. There are seemingly endless pieces to choose from. You can select a baseball themed metal sign.

Select the Perfect Crib Bedding

Many people design their entire nursery around the crib bedding they select. If you are creating your baseball themed nursery around your specific favorite team then it may be more difficult to find a matching crib bedding set. 

In that case, either select one that matches the team colors, have one custom-made, or you may be able to find one in a shop if it’s your local team. The most simple solution is to find a crib bedding set that matches your team colors and then get a blanket or two with the specific team logo or mascot on it. That is not difficult to find at all.

If you are creating a classic baseball theme consider this bedding set. It is simple, gender-neutral, and matches well with most baseball decor.

Additionally, you can have some extra baseball crib sheets on hand as well.

Fill in Other Furniture and Organization Pieces

Perhaps you have a nursery furniture set and already have everything you need, or you may be piecing it together yourself. You will need a crib, a dresser, and optionally can also have a changing table, shelving/storage, and a glider or rocking chair.

Add accessories to each of these items to help them tie together your baseball-themed nursery. Cover your changing table pad with a baseball changing pad cover.

Throw a baseball blanket over the top for your glider and place a baseball-themed throw pillow on top.

Set a baseball lamp on the dresser for dimmer lighting than the overhead lights can provide. It’s nice to have various lighting choices in a nursery because babies are often sleepy or napping.

Then select your favorite knick-knacks and baseball decor to set on the shelves. A baseball picture frame with a photo of your baby can be sweet, as well as a baseball trophy, a plaque, memorabilia from games you’ve attended, and more.

Finish With Accessories and Decorations

The finishing touches on a sports-themed nursery are any additional decorations you want, a rug, and curtains. None of these are essential but they can be nice when rounding out a themed nursery.

Depending on your baby, blackout curtains may be an essential item. Many babies cannot sleep well without total darkness. If your little one is like that, there are baseball blackout curtains that can help them get better rest.
