Quick Tips for Decorating a Nursery

If you are expecting a baby, there are tons of things you have to make decisions about including how you are going to decorate the nursery. Here are some tips and inspiration to help make your baby’s nursery the best space it can be for both you and your baby.

Make everything easily accessible. Diapers, changing table covers, wipes, etc. should all be at arm’s reach from the changing table. You don’t want to be having to step away to grab something.

Keep the floor space open. A lot of the time you will be carrying your baby back and forth from the nursery in the middle of the night. You don’t want to be tripping over toys, books, etc. You need a functional space so make sure you have designated spaces for all of these items.

Pick a theme. This makes decorating way easier. If you find one piece that you absolutely love work your color scheme and then rest of the décor around it.

Dark is good. Some parents may be afraid to make the room completely dark but don’t be! When it is nap-time or nighttime the room should feel like it. This means black out window shades and not too many night lights. This will ultimately help your baby rest better.

Get nightlight bulbs. Any lamp that you already have can be turned into a nightlight if you buy these bulbs.

A mini crib is still a crib. If you are living in a small space and are worried about how you are going to fit a full-size crib, stop worrying. Mini-cribs exist and they are perfect for smaller spaces, they fold down and move around easily.

Add art. If you want it to translate into their toddler and childhood years don’t go for anything that’s too babyish. The prints should be fun and colorful.

Incorporate plenty of personal touches. You want your baby to feel loved, obviously, so what better way to do it than surrounding them with people and things from people who love them. You can create a gallery wall that consists of pictures all of their loved ones.
