Designing Your Newborn Baby's Room

Designing Your Newborn Baby

Let's see how you can make your baby's room truly special.

Making Your Baby's Room Safe

Safety should be your priority when preparing your baby's room. You should check the safety arrangements before the baby's arrival because you may be too busy after your baby's birth. Make sure that you put the baby's crib in a safe corner where nothing can possibly fall inside. For example, do not place it next to a wardrobe or shelf where it is possible that something may fall into the crib.
Also keep the crib at a distance from the windows, door and air conditioner. This is to avoid direct drafts which may give your baby a cold. Also make sure that you have a soft night light so that you can see properly when you enter your baby's room at night. Do not leave anything inflammable near the crib. Also make sure there are no sharp objects or sharp corners in the room. Make sure you do not leave any stuffed toys in the baby's crib. Also line the insides of the baby's crib with padding.
You could also considering investing in a wireless baby monitor, so you can continue working around the house and still pay attention to your baby. Some advanced baby monitors also have video cameras which let you see your baby on the receiver.

Choosing Colours for Your Baby's Room

Choosing colours and designs for your baby's nursery can be a lot of fun. It is not necessary to spend a lot of money to make the room really attractive. You could have it done professionally or you could do it yourself. What you must keep in mind is that the room should look aesthetic and pleasing to the eye. It is possible to decorate a baby's room on a budget if you are innovative enough.
Since your baby cannot offer suggestions yet, it may be a good time to let your creative juices flow. You can decorate the room around a theme and choose an appropriate colour. It is better to use mild colours, as some studies indicate that soft colours are better suited for a baby's environment. Using colours like sky blue, pale yellow, light pink, leaf green, etc. for the walls and crib are recommended. You can also use a mix of colours but do pay attention to the contrast between these colours.

Decorating Your Baby's Room

Babies need accessories! Well, maybe not babies themselves, but a good baby room should have a range of playthings, stuffed toys, and little trinkets. You can get some stuffed animals to place in different corners. There are also a lot of hanging toys you can buy for your baby's crib. You can hang planes, animals, stars, etc. to entertain the baby and keep him preoccupied.
As for wall decorations, you could get little ornaments to hang on the walls. You can also go for inexpensive paintings in place of ornaments. Alternatively, you can get down to drawing little cartoon figures yourself. Quite a lot of parents choose to add a personal touch when decorating their baby's room. Baby furniture also adds to the room's charm. When you buy baby furniture, make sure it matches the colour of the walls.
Then there are the necessary supplies like baby clothes, baby shoes, nappies, baby toiletries, baby carrier, stroller etc. that you will need to pick up. You can have a mini-wardrobe in the baby nursery where you can stock all these items.
So go ahead and design a baby room that you can be proud of. It is a very satisfying feeling to a lot of parents and your baby will really enjoy it too.
