The moment you realize you are pregnant is an extremely exciting time. Lots of people just run out the very second they learn the news to tell all their friends and relatives about this exciting event.
Others tend to rush to the nearest store, straight to the home improvement department and try to get the best possible baby room supplies so that they can have it ready for the new arrival. This includes baby room wallpaper.
It is usually an enjoyable experience to organize and prepare a nursery for your beloved baby. As there is an abundant choice available everywhere for the adorable nursery decors, it may be better to choose the actual baby-room wallpaper before you start getting all the other items for the nursery.

The main reason for suggesting doing the walls first is because the design of the entire baby-room is based on that. Actually the walls and the floor are the most important and the hardest to choose. After that all the rest comes into place in a kind of easy and natural way.
Consider taking your time for those decisions. The choice of baby-room decorations seems to be virtually endless and this makes it even harder. Not to mention that apart from getting something suitable for your baby you also have to like it yourself. Keep in mind that your baby will also have its own taste, being a separate individual and it already becomes a kind of impossible task.
My sister designed her daughters nursery around an ocean theme and now only 18 months after that she has to redecorate. Unfortunately my niece did not like the ocean and fish thing and she seems to be really fond of all types of flowers and little princesses instead. However, this seems to be a change coming too soon for me.
No matter what ideas you have for the nursery do not start painting it without spending some more time thinking about what will follow. Have in mind that your child will have its own taste and that this taste will be changing through the years. The idea is to do something timeless, more classic rather than trendy, if you dont want to renovate the room every two years.
When we got our new house and moved in, we chose to leave the walls as they were in our daughters nursery. It was looking very nice with its pinewood paneling and was making quite a cozy place for our daughter to stay. So normally I would never think of getting a baby wallpaper, put in fact Im pretty much tempted to do that by the enormous selection of styles and colors that are offered.
We quite like the idea of a design that can grow along with our daughter, but in the same time the room really needs a touch of character that we would like to add. As it is now it is closest to whats being qualified as a study. The light very girly curtains that we chose and the rug with its pastel colors opened the room significantly. However, we think a little baby-room wallpaper can make it even better and give it the complete look of the nursery that we wanted to have.
