Simple Ways To Turn Your Baby's Nursery Into A Baby Paradise

There are so many different things to consider when designing babys room

. What colors should I use? What theme should I go with? What safety considerations should I keep in mind? Its enough to drive a person crazy. In this article my aim is to steer you on a path away from insanity on your way to a vibrant babys lounge that you can brag to all your friends about. When designing a babys room the most important things you should focus on are choosing your colors, deciding on a theme, and baby proofing.

Colors, colors, colors. It all starts with the colors. With the advancement of color psychology, science has shown that soft colors are the best route to go for your little guy. Remember, baby is new to this whole big place full of different sites, sounds, and touch. The best thing for your baby is to provide soft colors that will sooth and calm baby as he ventures into this big world of ours. Now I'm not saying its all gotta be peaches and creams. You can use bold and exciting, but just remember to use it as an accent around the baby nursery in things like the trim or design patterns on fabric.

Colors may have psychological advantages and disadvantages to baby's mind and development. We want to use colors that will enhance baby's senses instead of confusing them. Now this may sound like over kill, but why make things difficult for the little tike. Remember, baby is a sponge soaking in everything around. Let's look at two colors and what their impact may be on baby's mind.

Black may not be a color you want to include in your nursery decor. It symbolizes authority and power and is a color that implies submission. This in my opinion is an adult color and should not be forced upon baby. Bottom line, I would stay away from black.

We want a happy happy baby and the best color to get the job done is the bright and cheerful color yellow, right? Wrong! Despite what you may think, yellow is the worst color you could use in baby's room. Why? Because it is proven that yellow rooms cause people to loose their tempers and make babies cry. And we don't want that now do we? In my opinion, I would stay away from using yellow as a main color in your nursery decorating ventures.

There are many reasons why you want to use a theme in your nursery decor, but the main reason is for baby's first learning experience in the world. When deciding on a theme you should always have baby's best interest in mind and not your own. When shopping around for themes you may think some things are a bit corny or over the wall silly, but the simplicity of the themes is want you want to look for, not what you personally like or dislike. This allows baby to focus on just a few objects that are simple in nature and is a great unobtrusive start in allowing baby's brain to develop. Animals, butterflies, frogs, and nature are good places to start and are great themes to expand upon later. You could even go with simple shapes and patterns and build into nature at a later time.

So now lets get started and build this little nest from the ground up, but wait! We forgot the most important thing to plan before we jump in. There are so many horror stories of mishaps that happen in the nursery due to not baby proofing. Now is the perfect time to start doing things like buying a crib with safety features, removing small items that came with your theme like buttons that could be choked on, and finally covering all places where little fingers could come in contact with electricity. Also consider a baby monitor so you can hear baby's cries or lack there of. Better safe today then sorry tomorrow.

In closing, remember you have many things to plan before decorating your baby's nursery. Keep it simple and begin with selecting soft, soothing colors. Themes are meant for baby and not you so keep them simple in design so baby isn't confused. Finally, remember that your baby's safety is in your hands, so baby proof everything.
