How To Create The Perfect Nursery
Congratulations!
Whether you’re preparing for your first child or expanding your family, setting up the perfect nursery can make you feel more prepared and excited.
Don’t get overwhelmed by the process. Remember, you can do whatever you want with this space. Here are a few tips before you start.
Sketch a room plan
Sketching a room plan is easy—just grab some paper and outline where key elements will go. Think about creating a detailed plan that maps out different areas in the nursery, like sleeping, feeding, and play zones. This helps you arrange essentials such as the cot, storage, changing table, and play space efficiently. Planning ahead ensures every corner of the room is optimised for comfort and functionality.
Consider the flooring
You’ll be on the floor a lot with your baby, and throughout the years that follow. Having a plush carpet or a large rug in the room will make floor time a lot more comfortable for both you and your bub. Trust me, when you’re on your knees a lot, you’ll be happy you made the investment.
Set the mood
Create a soothing mood in the nursery to promote your baby’s rest and well-being. Babies are sensitive to their environment, so aim for a calm atmosphere with soft, muted colours and gentle, dim lighting. This helps create a peaceful space that supports relaxation and uninterrupted sleep.
Keep it simple
Avoid overdecorating to prevent sensory overload and allow the room to remain adaptable as your child grows. Keep the decor simple and purposeful. Instead of overwhelming visuals, focus on versatile elements like removable artwork and furniture that can evolve with your child’s changing interests and needs.
Consider safety
Safety is paramount, especially in the nursery. Choose furniture, especially the cot, that meets stringent safety standards. Remove potential hazards such as sharp corners, unstable furniture, and dangling cords to create a safe environment where your baby can explore and play without risk.
Stick to neutral colours
Neutral walls provide a timeless backdrop that can adapt to different decor styles and themes over the years. Use colourful accents such as soft toys, cushions, and removable decals to add personality and stimulate your child’s imagination.
Make it personal
Your nursery doesn’t have to be a cut and paste of someone else’s. Consider adding something to give it a bit of your personality. Maybe a family picture on the wall, or some quirky design elements that give it a bit more character. You’ll be in that room a lot, so you might as well make it a fun space for both you and your baby to enjoy.
One day your child is going to be old enough to tell you exactly what they want their room to look like. As they’re developing their own personalities, there’s a high chance it won’t be something you’ll like. So, why not take this opportunity to create the perfect nursery that you can both enjoy? After all, they’re only little for a while.
