Baby Nursery Decorating Ideas
Decorating your baby’s nursery is certainly exciting and a lot of
fun. As well as creating a soothing environment, your baby’s nursery
should be practical and safe. Here are nine things to consider...
1. Make sure there are no electrical switches, blind cords or other
hazards where baby can reach them.
2. Try to plan a nursery your child won’t outgrow. Choose a theme that’s
classic and both you and baby can live with for some time. It can be
expensive and time consuming if the nursery dates too quickly.
3. You don’t have to stick to traditional baby colors such as pink for
girls and blue for boys. With the huge range of paint colors available
now you can experiment a little.
4. For an extra special touch try painting a mural on one of the walls.
If art isn’t really your forte you can usually find a good local artists
willing to take the job on for a reasonable price. You can also stencil
a border around the room or stencil in your favorite poem or verse.
5. When choosing the furniture, make sure it’s functional. You’ll need a
crib, changing table, and storage for clothes. You may also want a moses
basket or basinet. It’s always smart to think ahead and invest in
convertible furniture like a crib which turns into a toddler bed or a
change table/dresser which can later be used as a dresser only. This
will cost a little bit more but will actually save you from having to
invest in furniture again in a few years.
6. If space allows, one of the must have items for new parents is a
comfortable chair. A good chair will be an investment but it will last
for years. It’s important to have a quiet place where you can easily
feed and spend some quality time bonding with baby… it will also save
you from future back problems!
7. Invest in comfortable bedding. Bedding should be made of quality
materials and follow all the baby safety guidelines. A good bedding set
will cost a little bit more, but for the decorative pieces like the
bumper you’ll only need one good set. Then simply stock up on good
quality fitted sheets which are less expensive and you can change on a
regular basis.
8. If you’re going for wooden or bare floors place an area rug in the
center. When babies starts to crawl and explore a soft surface will be a
lot safer and nicer for them.
9. Try to avoid bright colors in the nursery as they can over stimulate
and cause anxiety in babies and young children. Instead go for a range
of neutral and soothing colors.
