Kids Room Decorating Ideas That They Will Love

Whether it’s your first or your last, this is such an exciting time but daunting too as there is so much choice. After all, there’s so much to do and less than 9 months to get it all done! In designing your baby’s nursery the main things to consider are safety first then theme, colours, furniture and bedding.

The perfect scenario would be to start off with a blank canvas, i.e. empty room with plain walls. Of course that isn’t always the case.

Furniture

If you are converting an existing room into your nursery, begin by deciding what furniture is staying behind and then you can complement it with your new baby furniture. Safety is paramount when choosing baby furniture so any furniture chosen should have met safety standards for materials and construction quality. Cribs can be finished in natural wood, plastic or painted. Paints used must be lead free and non toxic. This is especially important to note if you have been given a pre-owned crib. A nursery needs basically a crib, changing table, and clothes storage in the form of a wardrobe or an armoire.

A comfortable place to feed and coo at your baby completes the nursery. Upholstered Gliders come as swivelling, stationary or reclining. You can get some swivel gliders, and even reclining-swivel gliders. Many can be customized with your own or other fabric, sometimes for an additional cost. Wicker gliders also look great with the cushions made in a coordinating nursery fabric. A reclining glider eliminates the need for an ottoman.

Changing dressers are preferable to open changers as the later loses its use in the nursery once your child is out of diapers. A Changing Dresser on the other hand is more like a chest of drawers with a changing tray on top of it. Sometimes the changing tray is removable and in some cases can be used as a wall shelf. Many nursery furniture lines have children’s furniture that coordinate with them so all you need to do is add a few pieces when you do your big kid room.
