Baby bedroom decorating ideas

Unless parents prefer to have him sleep with them in the master bedroom for the first few months, the baby's room will be the place where he will spend his first nights and wake up to live his new life. It will be the place to change his diaper and rock him to sleep, so getting everything ready for his arrival suddenly becomes a time-consuming task to deal with.

That is why today we dedicate the post to concentrate the main tips and ideas for decorating the baby's room to make the process much easier.

Painting and/or wallpaper

In children's room decoration there is nothing written: Years ago the style was very preconceived and limited to certain colors and motifs (pink for girls, pearl gray or mink for boys). Nowadays, however, there is much more freedom, giving way to more contemporary and free lines both in the chromatic range and in the small decorative details.

The most advisable thing to do in wall coverings is to choose a light and soft environment that avoids visual fatigue for the baby and favors his rest. However, color should not be discarded or even dare to give it prominence, since the visual perception of newborns takes time to develop completely.

A very common option is to paint the room in a single color or use at most two shades of the same tone and focus attention on a particular wall with a nice wallpaper. Polka dots or stars in soft tones are usually the most requested.

It is best to place the paper on a wall where we are not going to place too much furniture to not saturate the environment, placing at most a few small shelves of support with a couple of decorative details, limiting the rest of furniture and accessories to the monochromatic walls.

Furniture

Once painted or papered the room, we go into the matter with the baby furniture. And is that to equip the room of the small there are a number of basics that we must not forget. Let's go with them!

The cradle

The crib is the most clearly defining element of a baby's room. For the first month of life we can opt for cribs that can be attached to the bed to better control the little one, both to make it easier for the mother to breastfeed and to have him under special supervision for postpartum health difficulties.

Once the first month has passed, we can opt for a traditional crib, which is not conventional, because nowadays there are many options for parents to choose from, such as convertible or adjustable cribs that adapt to the age and size of the baby.

The changing table

The changing table is essential to avoid collapse when changing your baby's diaper. Something that seems like such a simple task, when it comes to the truth, needs a lot of supplies, such as wipes, lotions, talcum powder, diapers or clean clothes to always have on hand.

It is therefore advisable to choose a large and practical chest of drawers where you can store the different products and organize them by means of dividers.

The nursing chair

Whether you breastfeed or bottle-feed, every nursery must have a breastfeeding chair, an essential piece for the mother or father to sit comfortably to feed their little one.

A recurring task when feeding alternates every 2-3 hours which, especially at night, will keep both baby and parents awake, as it will not be necessary to leave the room and its comfortable climate. In this sense, the chair should be large and comfortable enough to hold the baby without the arms of the chair bothering us, which is not incompatible with a nice aesthetic.

The closet

It's hard to believe, but a little thing as small as a baby accumulates as many or more personal items than an adult. In addition, they grow very fast, so it is convenient to have a spacious and well used closet to store everything, from their clothes, blankets, toys, stuffed animals or their travel bag.

A well thought-out closet will mix rods and coat racks, with drawers, shelves and small baskets to keep everything close at hand and clearly visible.

Decoration

When it comes to decorating accessories for the baby's room, you can be as free as you want.

You can start with textiles to bring a warm and comfortable feel to the space (such as rugs, blankets, cushions or stuffed animals) and continue with small but charming pieces for the walls (such as children's prints, shelves for their first stories, small hanging mobiles over the crib or decorative lamps that offer a nighttime support light with a touch of grace).

And where to buy?

If we like to take long walks, we can always go either to the children's section of a department store, or to the classic specialty store, where prices are usually somewhat higher.

However, nowadays, what parents-to-be usually have less time to go on a pilgrimage from Mecca to Mecca in search of the most suitable crib, accessory or children's furniture. Therefore, in an era as digital as ours, the Internet makes it easy for us to scrutinize all the options at the click of a mouse. In this sense an option is to go jumping through the various websites of each manufacturer or if not, a much more convenient, fast and varied alternative is to go to portals that bring together all manufacturers on a single website, such as Livingo, a reference portal in the field of online shopping for furniture and decoration that allows access through its platform to multiple manufacturers and buy their products directly without leaving the same web.

In short, there are no excuses to get everything ready for baby's arrival! In the meantime, here are some inspirational examples to help you gather ideas before you make your final decision, and enjoy your pregnancy!
