Tips baby - Decorating the Perfect Nursery for Your Baby and You - child solution

A baby’s nursery should be a relaxing, welcoming environment for the baby and the parents. Life is stressful and being a new parent, although wonderful, is stressful, too. Your child’s nursery should be a safe-haven, where the stresses of the outside world just disappear. Babies can sense when their parent is tense or upset and these negative feelings can quickly be passed to the child. Therefore, when designing your baby’s nursery, don’t forget to consider colors and themes that are relaxing, pleasing and welcoming to you, too.

Most expectant mothers begin imagining their child’s nursery the moment that they discover they are pregnant or even before that! They may choose to find out the sex of the baby and then go with either pink or blue. Or they may choose to be surprised at delivery and so they go with yellow or green. All of these are great choices but the décor decisions should not stop there.

After you paint the walls, fill them with dream inspiring artwork. Artwork that can grow with your child is a great investment as it can be used in their rooms for years to come or passed down to younger siblings. The artwork you pick can be fun and colorful featuring wild animals, rocket ships, or sports themes. Or go with a calming and inspiring piece highlighting the ocean, a peaceful garden or the letters of the alphabet. Other items such as rugs, clocks and lamps can complete the nursery and make it an extra special place for you and your baby.

If this is not your first baby, you may decide to have the new baby occupy the same nursery or use the same bedding or other décor. However, you can still personalize the room to make it special and unique to your new little one. Start by adding his or her own personalized growth chart. This combination of art and function is an adorable way to decorate the room while charting your child’s remarkable growth.

Other small additions to the room can make it feel like a brand new nursery. Add a new lamp on the dresser or hang a beautiful new chandelier from the ceiling to cast a whole new light on the room. Choose a new rug to lie at the base of the crib, a personalized canvas to hang over the changing table, or transform the walls with removable wall stickers in a wide variety of themes including flowers, animals, sports and rocket ships. These small changes can make your old nursery feel new again!
