Ideas For Newborn Kids’ Room Décor
Nesting syndrome is prevalent in the last few weeks of pregnancy. Nesting is the mother’s natural instinct and overwhelming desire to prepare her home for her unborn child while she is pregnant.
This nesting instinct is difficult to overcome, from cleaning and structuring to selecting color schemes and decor for the baby’s nursery. And why would you want to? You’ve waited all this time for this special delivery that it’s only right to get started and get the baby’s room ready. So, this article brings you some helpful hints to remember when designing the nursery for your child.
Let’s move on to the pointers, which we recommend you follow:
Consider About Safety & Practicality
This is a must-do before you start on the room’s decor! Babies grow quickly, and before you realize it, they’ll be moving from napping all day to crawling and toddling around! Make sure the room is engineered with no sharp/irregular edges or slippery surfaces and can accommodate the baby as he/she grows.
Lighting and Location
Keep in mind that babies require a lot of sleep in the first few months. It also helps to be in a quiet, comfortable room, away from other potential distractions. Of course, it doesn’t have to be a light and soundproof cave. When it’s nap time, make sure there’s ambient light that you can choose to block out with heavy curtains or window shades.
Make the crib the focal point of the room.
When purchasing a crib, draw up a rough floor plan to determine what dimensions will work. To ensure that baby sleeps comfortably, make sure the crib is not directly under an AC vent or fan. Lamps, heaters, window blinds, and curtain cords should be kept away from cribs because they can be dangerous when the infant learns to stand up in the crib and grasp stuff.
Make a storage plan.
The list goes on and on with clothes, diapers, toiletries, wipes, books, rattles, toys, and teethers. In no time, you’ll notice that your kid has a bunch of things, all messing up together. So, make sure your storage space is well-organized – having a toy box where your kid can access what he/she wants to play with will be helpful.
It’s also a good practice to teach your toddler the concept of tidying up, as each item in the room has its own designated spot.
Make it unique.
Don’t just rush into a baby store and take everything. Eventually, the nursery plays a crucial role in making your home unique and reflects your personality. Invite siblings and grandparents to help you paint a wall or decorate the room with a family collage or other arts and crafts items.
That’s it. We hope that organizing your baby’s nursery will be a breeze now that you have these suggestions. So, choose a design that appeals to you. Have fun designing the ideal nursery for your baby!
