One of the fun things that you can do in the run up to
waiting for the new arrival, is to decorate the baby's room. You'll have
lots of time to visit paint and wallpaper stores, or to surf online and get
ideas for décor schemes, and fun items.
With baby décor, there are usually two schools of
thought. One goes for the softness of pastels, for the same purpose that
they are used in adult bedrooms, which is to create an atmosphere of
restfulness for sleep, since a baby does a lot of that in their first months,
and you may not be getting much yourself! The other choice, is to go for
stimulating colors and items that will attract that baby's attention as he or
she begins to focus their eyes, and take in the world around them.
Whichever way you choose to go, with your wallpaper,
flooring, and curtains, the actual furniture will be your basic items, and
sometimes you'll find that in choosing these, the options for the setting you
put them in, fall into place all by themselves.
For example, if you know you are expecting a baby girl, you
might choose to go for the Shabby Chic line of décor, which is basically
"distressed" white finishing on your furniture choices, which makes
accessories easy to choose because you won't be limited by colors. And
best of all, the Shabby Chic style items you buy for the nursery, will do the
child as she grows older, since it's so popular.
The first concern, is a good reliable crib. The best
ones are those that have sides that can be raised and lowered, with locks that
keep the child from doing it themselves as they grow. You might also want
one with the same option for the mattress, since it will be easier on your back
to have it in the higher position while the baby is tiny, and lower as they
start thinking about standing up.
Along with the crib, a dresser for clothes is a
necessity. There's also the matter of where to change diapers, which can
be solved with either a dresser top change table that simply comes off for
storage when no longer needed, or you can purchase Shabby Chic change tables,
with have a guard rail around the top, and shelves underneath that will come in
handy for toys, as they grow. These tips How to Decorate a Baby's Room.
