If you want the baby room decoration to be a pleasant task and full of love, this post is for you! We’ll help you create the perfect baby room for your child, with some practical tips that will make your life easier at this very special moment.

How to choose the ideal furniture?

To set up a basic nursery, you don’t need much: a crib, a dresser and a nursing chair are enough. Also, you can be creative and improvise with what you already have. Some parents, for example, prefer to breastfeed and sleep with the baby in bed for the first few months of life.

  •     – Crib: Give preference to more versatile furniture, which offer options for the child’s growth. Generally, these cribs have two height options and also turn into a bed. So you won’t have to buy another piece of furniture anytime soon. Also, make sure the crib you choose has safety certifications to prevent accidents.
  •  – Dresser: This is a very practical piece of furniture for the baby’s room, as it can accommodate all the clothes and dispense with the wardrobe, as well as serving as a support for the changing table.
  • – Breastfeeding armchair: This item is important for the comfort of the mother, who will spend many hours of the day (and night) nursing and rocking the baby. The armchair can be a rocking chair, a bed or a sofa: the important thing is to have a place reserved for breastfeeding, which offers comfort and tranquility.

How to decorate the baby’s room with little money?

A baby brings a lot of expenses to the couple that can tighten the household budget: childbirth expenses, health insurance, layette… In the midst of all this, it is natural for parents to prioritize other things and want to save as much as possible on the baby’s room. Even so, it is possible to make a very beautiful and cozy decoration for very little, want to see?

  •     – It is important to plan and decide how much you will spend on decorating the room. Make a list of the key items and search for prices on the Internet to arrive at the ideal budget.
  •   – Bet on furniture in neutral colors to facilitate the decoration. Also choose neutral tones for walls, curtains, rugs and other decorative pieces. Thus, you will have more options when buying, being able to choose a cheaper product without compromising the harmony and beauty of the space.
  •  – Reuse or renovate furniture. If you know someone who already has a grown child, see if they have furniture to donate. The baby grows so fast that often the crib that no longer fits is practically new! Now, if you have an old piece of furniture that you love, take the opportunity to renovate and give a new look to a wardrobe or a dresser.
  •   – Do something different on the wall. Choose one to paint, apply wallpaper or stickers. Changing just one wall will save you money, and it makes all the difference to the environment!
  •     – Make the room more lively and with personality. Use your child’s toys to decorate, such as stuffed animals, toy cars and dolls. You’ll probably get a lot of toys before he’s even born, so don’t worry about investing in it now.
  •  – Photo wall is a really cool way to make the room look like you: you can start with photos of the family and the pregnant mother and then get photos of the baby, following its growth.

 

  • Baby room together with parents or older brother

If the option is a baby room with the parents, invest in a few furniture: put a dresser to store the baby’s clothes and serve as a changing table and choose a small crib (since this arrangement is usually temporary).

In the decoration, prefer neutral and soft colors, so as not to fight with the rest of the room. If you want to do something different, mark the baby’s space with wallpaper, children’s pictures and a soft rug.

If the baby is going to share a room with his sibling, be careful not to “invade” the firstborn’s space. Therefore, avoid very drastic changes in decoration: keep the same style of the room, adding few items for the baby, such as some pictures and a mobile, for example. If the room is small, buy a makeshift crib and then switch to a bunk bed.

Tips for decorating the baby room

    – Nursery niches: Inexpensive, versatile and easy to install, they serve both to support useful objects and utensils – such as cotton pots and cotton swabs – and to decorate – with pets, toys or plants.

    – Nursery rug: in addition to decorating the environment, it warms the environment and brings more coziness. You can vary the shape, choose a neutral piece, printed or colored to match the style of the room. Just pay attention to the material, preferring washable and anti-allergenic models.

– Baby room curtain: makes the environment more cozy and helps control excess light. As babies always sleep during the day, it’s worth investing in the curtain and not having to keep closing and opening the window.

– Baby room pictures: they are great to liven up the room and give it personality. Choose a theme for the decoration and put some comics that have to do with it, or if you prefer, frame photos of the family and after the baby.

 – Shelf for the nursery: they are very practical for keeping objects close at hand, in beautiful boxes or baskets. In addition, they serve to support decorative pieces that can be changed as the baby grows.

    – Baby room chandelier: it can make all the difference in baby room decoration. Crystal chandelier, colored pendants or patterned lamp, choose the one that is all about the style of your room.

 – Wallpaper for the nursery: offers a wide variety of colors, prints and textures, making the transformation of the nursery much more practical. Self-adhesive wallpaper templates, for example, are easy to install and can be washed, making cleaning easier as well.
