Are you expecting a new baby? Or finally starting to organize your toddler’s room to make it a great playroom? There are tons of themes out there, what will you choose for your child?

When we first found out that we were pregnant, we agreed that we did not want to know the gender of the baby, that way it would be a surprise to us once they arrived. That meant that in designing the nursery, we would choose a generic theme: think Winnie the Pooh, Rubber Ducks, or even Jungle Animals theme.

Since we had done a little bit of traveling, we thought, why not make the room a “world theme”? I thought of globes and maps instantly. We registered for these things at Babys R Us and the room turned out so cute. We got these “world map” sheets and these Sahara print blankets and diaper changing table cover.

These wall decals were meant to stick on the wall, but we chose to frame them instead and put them into two corners of the room:

To tie the room all together, we were blessed to work with Lorena Canals on a great rug for the room. The World Map rug is simply stunning! It is handmade and 100% natural cotton and non toxic dyes (super important factors for our kids rooms). What is great about this rug is how soft it is. The whole family loves to come in here and lay on the rug. When I first received it, I washed it right away. It fits right into a home washer and dryer and came out beautifully with no snags or tears.

I love knowing the my kids can play on this for time to come and that I can just wash it when needed! This is a must have for a nursery or play room, plus it’s huge!  Check out their website for tons of other great prints and ideas for your themed rooms!

What theme did you choose for your little one? Or are you still deciding?
