We know that the news that you are going to become a parent is the most exciting and beautiful thing in your life, and the first days at home with your baby will be magical. That's why, after the first months of pregnancy, it would be a good idea to start thinking about decorating your baby's dream room.
A baby's room is a space that needs to be not only beautiful, but also functional, comfortable and safe. You want a place where your little one can grow up in safety and harmony, but also where you can feel good, where you can spend quiet time with your child.
Although decorating a baby's room can seem overwhelming, with a little planning and a thoughtful approach, you can create a little piece of heaven that is practical and enjoyable for the whole family. Below, we will present you with some tips on how to decorate a baby's room, with style and with everything you need.
Why it is strictly necessary in a baby's room
When you start decorating your baby's room, it's easy to get drawn in by all the cute things you find in stores. However, before you fill the room with a lot of items, it's important to focus on the bare necessities, which we'll show you below.
First, you need a crib, as it is the centerpiece of a baby's room. Choose a sturdy, safe crib with a firm mattress and non-toxic materials. Your baby will spend a lot of time sleeping, so it's important that the crib is comfortable and safe.
Next, you will need a diaper changing table (also called a changing table).
It is a table specially designed for this activity and will help you have everything at hand and keep your baby safe.
A wardrobe or chest of drawers for clothes is also very important. Babies need clothes always at hand. Choose a small wardrobe or chest of drawers with well-organized spaces so that you can keep clothes well-ordered and accessible.
In the first months you will spend many nights nursing or soothing your baby, so a comfortable armchair is an excellent investment that will provide comfort both during long nights and during rocking moments.
A baby's room doesn't need bright light, so choose a nightlight with diffused or adjustable light to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere.
What not to buy because they are just fads
In addition to the essentials, there are also a lot of things that, although they seem attractive, are not at all necessary and may be taking up unnecessary space. Here are some examples of such "fads" that you can avoid.
While a swing can be useful in the short term, many of the automatic, multi-function models can be expensive and not always necessary. Babies quickly get used to swinging and you can end up relying on these devices to soothe them, which is not ideal in the long term.
It's tempting to buy furniture that looks like something out of a fairy tale, but your child will grow up and their preferences will change. Choose simple, functional furniture pieces that can be easily adapted as your child grows.
A rug that is too large can become difficult to clean and can collect dust and allergens, and those made of fluff or with long pile, although they look good, are not very practical for a baby's room, especially in the first months.
Crib bumpers, decorative pillows, or heavy blankets are nice, but they can be dangerous. Pediatricians recommend a bed without accessories that could pose a suffocation risk.
A baby monitor is useful, but very expensive models that come with all kinds of extra functions (oxygen monitoring, temperature, etc.) are not always necessary and can induce a state of unjustified anxiety.
What to keep in mind when arranging your room
When you start planning your baby's room , it's important to keep a few basic principles in mind that will ensure that the space is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functional. Here are some of them.
- Baby's room should be a safe place. Check that each piece of furniture is stable and secure, make sure there are no sharp corners or objects that could be pulled on by your little one as he or she starts to move. Power outlets should be covered, and small objects that could be swallowed should be kept out of reach of your baby.
- As your baby grows and begins to crawl or walk, he or she will need space. Don't fill the room with too much furniture. Leave enough room for play and exploration.
- Pay attention to the materials used in the baby's room furniture and accessories. Choose natural wood, non-toxic paints, and organic textiles. These will reduce the risk of allergies and create a healthier environment.
- The colors of the walls, furniture, and decorations influence the mood. Opt for pastel, neutral shades, or warm colors that induce relaxation and comfort.
- Choose furniture that can be adapted as your baby grows. For example, a convertible crib that converts into a bed for older children or a dresser that can be used after your baby no longer needs the changing table.
