Start with a fresh coat of paint

Doing the painting portion first is a must.

You need to give the paint enough time to dry as to avoid any dangerous vapors when it’s time to move your baby into the room.

Opt for VOC free paint to ensure a healthy environment for your child.

If you are not sure about the sex, opt for neutral colors like green or yellow, and you can later accessorize the walls with stickers and paintings to make the room feel more warm and pleasant for your baby.

Don’t be afraid to leave the walls white, which will give you more freedom to play with other colors when decorating.

If you can, avoid black items, a baby’s room shouldn’t contain any gloomy elements.

Don’t make the nursery too crowded

Before buying the furniture for your baby’s nursery, take the necessary measures and make a plan as to what goes where.

If you buy too many items or ones that are too big you might overcrowd the nursery making it hard for you to move around with your baby.

So opt for just a few essentials.

Start with the crib, which will of course take the biggest portion of the room.

Next come the changing station and a cupboard for baby’s things.

Finally if there is enough room left add a rocking chair for some mommy and baby time.

Don’t forget to include a colorful round rug, it is the ideal shape for a nursery and ads a fun pop of color to your design.
