Many unique paints and decor ideas are available for decorating the nursery that will be welcoming your new little one and undoubtedly there are some options that you might not have considered before. It is easy to choose from classic shades like pink, blue, and white, but there are other options that make sense for a variety of reasons. For instance, you might consider using glow-in-the-dark paint to decorate a nursery as part of a modern, eclectic, or unique style that is creative and interesting. Here are some ideas for taking this less conventional approach.

What is glow-in-the-dark paint?

The term “glow in the dark” explains the purpose of the paint: creating a soft, glowing light that relies on something other than electricity to offer a dim source of lighting in a specific space. Although usually used in older children’s bedrooms as a fun, creative touch, you can use glow-in-the-dark paint to create a energy-free nightlight for energy-efficient, eco-friendly parents. The glow from this type of paint is soft enough so as not to disturb baby, but sheds enough light to see in the space around the paint. Keep in mind that it takes a significant amount of glow-in-the-dark paint, also called self-luminous paint, to light the room for diaper changing and similar tasks, but it is a helpful way to navigate the room without having to turn on bright lighting.

Where do you buy this type of paint?

Most paint retailers and home decor warehouses sell a wide variety of paints, including glow-in-the-dark shades from various brand names. You can apply to almost any surface that can be painted, from furniture to walls and even the ceiling, depending on the look that you are trying to achieve. Most home decor experts recommend using this type of paint in moderation, not only because it can be rather costly, but also because too much of it looks tacky, especially in a nursery.

Which part of the nursery is most suitable for glow-in-the-dark paint?

There are both spray and standard paint options for glow-in-the-dark paint, so it is easy to apply to most surfaces. One of the most popular options for adding glow-in-the-dark paint in a nursery is to design a mural, using this paint for stars, moons, or windows. Another great option is to create a nighttime sky above the crib on the ceiling, with stars in different shapes and sizes to capture baby’s attention and spark the imagination someday, encouraging creativity in the future.

How should glow-in-the-dark paint be applied?

As before mentioned, you can use a paintbrush, roller, or a can of glow-in-the-dark spray paint to create interesting shapes and designs in the nursery. It can be difficult to use a can of spray paint if the stencil shape you are planning to use is small, and in this case it is better to use paint and a small brush instead. A roller is great for large jobs, such as on murals, but in most cases a small can of paint, small paintbrush, and a few stencil shapes get the job done wonderfully.
