Play with Colours

While picking colours is a matter of personal choice, the possibilities of experimenting with colours in a nursery are endless. From bold and bright to subtle and soothing hues; you can add dashes of colour not just on the walls but also on curtains, furniture, bed covers and much more! We suggest you go for lighter shades on the ceiling and walls and add pops of bright colours in the form of colourful lampshades, curtains and bed sheets. Try not to use pinks and blues to avoid making the room look too girly or too boyish.

Be Space Smart

Since most nurseries or kid's rooms are smaller in size, it is very important to consider the space constraint and pick storage and furniture ideal for small spaces. For example, a dresser or a chest of drawers can have a changing table on top instead of keeping a separate one. You can also store toys and baby clothes in boxes and place them underneath the bed or the crib. Make sure to leave space for more stuff because as the baby grows, so will the things!

Avoid Themes

While it's tempting to pick from a variety of themes available for nurseries, it's probably best to avoid it altogether. Keeping few decorative items is fine but a specific theme can be restricting and might curb a child's imagination. That is why it's best to let the child grow up and pick a decorative theme according to his or her liking, interests and passions.

Pay Heed to Safety

It is of utmost importance to make the nursery safe for your child. Make sure you cover all electrical outlets and put away cords and cables. Also, while picking furniture for the room, make sure that it is safe and without pointed corners or other potential hazards. The flooring or carpets and rugs in the room should not be slippery and should be fit for the child to play, walk or run around.

Finish Well in Advance

While it's easy to get carried away with decorating and getting the nursery ready, be sure to keep track of time. Try to begin the process of creating a nursery well in advance and finish well before you welcome the new member into your family.
