One of the hardest decisions you will have to make before your new baby arrives is how to decorate the baby room. It can be a challenge. Do you go with pink or purple? What about a sports theme or an underwater aquarium adventure? The options are endless and the more you delve into looking for ideas, the more you will find yourself confused on what you actually want. Below, we will help you get started on designing a cute and functional baby room. Let’s take a look.
Don’t Skimp on the Crib
You do NOT want to skimp on the crib. After all, your baby will be sleeping here. It is one of the most crucial pieces to the baby room. You should ensure that the crib meets all of the safety standards laid out. Once you know it does, you can then spend time finding one that meets your unique needs and tastes. There are many different styles and colors of cribs to choose from too.
Get a Spacious Changing Table
Never underestimate the power of a spacious changing table. You do not want to feel like you are competing for room on the table and you want to be able to change your baby with ease and access the supplies you need when you need them. As you look for a changing table, consider one that has additional shelves and storage drawers for you to keep extra clothes in along with the baby powder, wipes, diapers, etc.
Choose a Color You Love
Now comes the fun part – choosing a color for your baby’s room. You can choose from so many different colors and your options will feel endless. As you look for a color, consider what your preferences are and also how you plan to decorate the room. If you are going for something neutral, then neutral colors would work but if you are going for a sports theme, you may want to go with more rugged colors or the colors of the team.
Only Keep the Clothes You Need
You will find yourself inundated with tons of baby clothes. It happens as everyone will want to buy you something. Take some time to go through what you have and only keep the relevant pieces in the nursery. For instance, if your baby is 3 months old and wearing 3-month old clothes, only keep 3-month old clothes in the nursery and maybe a couple 6-month old clothes. If you keep too many clothes, the area will look overrun and you will find yourself constantly trying to find something for your little one to wear.
Curtains
Curtains can definitely bring a room together and if you have not already considered them, you should. One thing you do want to keep in mind is that the strings on blinds are very dangerous, so you should remove them or purchase cordless blinds to avoid any accidents.
Decorate Your Baby Room
Now that you have some ideas in mind, you can quickly and easily decorate your baby’s room. You will find that it is fun once you get started and definitely hard to choose just one theme or decoration scheme.
