Creating Your Baby's First Room
There is nothing quite like welcoming a new addition into your home. It is such a special time and planning your nursery it can be great fun.
Here are some tips to create a calm, comfortable and beautiful nursery:
Furniture
Give the nursery shape with furniture. Start with the cot and changing table. Then think if you have room for any additional pieces like a wardrobe, dresser, bookshelf, side table or play area.
Choose sturdy, stylish furniture that is expertly designed with comfort and safety in mind. Well made furniture will last for years and is a really good investment. A cot that converts to a bed is a sensible option, as is a changing table that converts to a chest of drawers. Other essentials include a wardrobe with both hanging and folding space and shelving is great for displaying little keepsakes like framed photos and first hand/footprints.
Even though they seem so tiny, babies need a lot of things so having enough storage is essential! By storing all their nappies, wipes and creams in easy to reach baskets or shelves or tucked quietly out of the way can make life seem less hectic.
Soft Furnishings
Decide if you want the nursery to be bright and colourful or soft and relaxing. All work well in a nursery setting. Your cot bedding will help pull the theme of the nursery together.
Your special touches give the nursery its unique personality and warmth. A luxurious, thick rug is great for you and your baby to play on, window coverings that will be especially important at nap time, and a lamp to provide soft light for nightime feeds.
Themed nurseries make decorating easy because everything co-ordinates. From cot bedding and rugs to curtains. Our nursery collections include themes for boys and girls or neutral designs that will work for either a boy or a girl.
A little planning and a lot of love will help you create a warm and inviting nursery for you and your baby.
