Designing Your Baby's Nursery

Decorating the nursery for your first baby is quite a tough job and a fun experience at the same time

. Tough because it takes time to decide and there are so many things to consider, and fun because you're actually doing this for your little one. Whatever the case, going through the stages one by one is more fun than boring.

The first thing that people see when they enter a room are the walls. So this is where you'll start. Whether you're going to use paint or wallpaper, choose a color that is not biased to the gender of your baby. Deciding on a neutral color is effective especially if you're planning to have another baby sooner.

The principle used when choosing the color of the wall is the same principle you must use with the flooring. You don't want to spend that much on repainting or redecorating the floor each time a new baby arrives. The safety of your baby is important, so use a carpet or rubber mats as much as possible. They may be harder to clean compared to wooden or cement floors but they can serve as cushion especially when baby is learning to walk.

Choosing furniture for your baby's room is kind of tricky. Only decide to buy something if you already know what you and your baby really needs. Always go for the basic and not for what is unnecessary. Also, choose furniture made of durable material so that it won't easily wear out so that your next baby can still make use of it.

When choosing a window treatment, go for a fabric that will match the color of the room or at least the bed or crib. You can use blinds too so that you can darken or lighten the nursery room during day. Your baby needs to take a nap from time to time.

The lighting for baby's room is essential. Make sure a good amount of light can penetrate the room in the day time. You can also use a dimmer so you can adjust light easier since a dimmer can serve as a lamp and nightlight at the same time. You can turn the lights brighter for changing or feeding time, and turn it to make the room darker for sleep time.
