Now it's time to discuss the design of the room where the baby will spend most of his time.

You've probably analyzed several design options, but it's good to adapt them to your family's needs and style.

The more original and creative you are, the greater the joy you will feel. You will have the certainty that your soul is contained within the walls of that room and not someone else's!

Therefore, I thought of a few ideas for you to consider when you start your preparations.


Pastel vs Rainbow


What resonates with you more? With those pastel colors (beige, pale pink, blue), which rest your eyes as soon as you open the door to the room, or with the vibrant shades (bright red, intense yellow), which seem to urge you to a rain dance under the rainbow arch? The choice is in your hands!

You can also use cartoon characters or a specific theme (for example: The Kingdom of Funny Animals - for boys - or The Sugar Land of Princesses - for girls).

Discuss this issue together and come to a compromise. Otherwise, you will have to whitewash again and again.

It's also a good idea to put yourself in your child's shoes and imagine what would calm them down. After all, this is the room where they will sleep, so a restful atmosphere should prevail.


Suffocated by so many shelves


You know that wall that seems to be crying while shouting: "Help! I'm suffocating between the shelves, the racks, the shelves"?

I suggest you forget about him.

First of all, do not place anything above the crib! There is a risk that it will come off the wall and put the child's life in danger!

Also, the more you load the top of the room, the more tiring it will become for the baby. Consider that in the first months of life, until he starts walking, he will spend most of his time sitting on his back or on his side.

You can opt for a chest of drawers with multiple compartments to store everything you need. If it's easier for you, you can leave a few of the products you use most often right on its surface.

Another option would be a crib with a drawer or storage space located under the mattress.

Whatever you decide, let the wall “breathe”!


"Will you let me sleep behind bars?"


Before purchasing a baby crib, research several options until you reach the final one. Beyond the friendly design, you must consider its functionality.

  • Its size allows them to sleep in the most relaxing position possible, but also fits into the space you have available in the room.
  • The material it is made of should not be treated with toxic substances, as the baby will gnaw a lot of it when he manages to stand up on his legs. There are also cribs equipped with silicone protections for the top bars.
  • The mattress should be comfortable, promote a correct position for the spine, have a cover that can be removed and washed, be anti-allergic, and not allow the body to overheat.
  • The ability to adjust according to the child's age is another very important criterion!
  • Special crib guards should have a secure fastening system, so that there is no risk of the baby coming loose and suffocating. If you access this link , you will find more variations of such guards.
  • The wheels can make your work easier when you want to clean and move the bed or when you want to bring it into your room to experience co-sleeping.

Always keep in mind that the crib is like a second home for your little one! For this reason, it deserves all your attention during the selection process.

"Hey! You've got me sitting on the floor, but I don't see anything interesting around me"


When it comes to activities conducive to baby development, I think of playing on the carpet or on a mattress like a topponcino (it takes the shape of the body and gives the baby a sense of security, as if they were still in their mother's belly).

For him to truly enjoy this experience, it would be ideal to place certain objects at his level so that he can see them with his eyes.

For example, a medium-sized mirror, installed on a nearby wall, will give him the opportunity to discover himself. In this way, he will become familiar with both his gestures and facial expressions when he experiences various states.

Additionally, you can stick cards with various black and white images, specially designed to stimulate your baby's vision and memory in the first 3 months of life, at the bottom of the mirror (like a border).

Another idea that will "steal" a few smiles is to place a bowl of colorful fish near the place where he plays. Of course, it is preferable that he does not reach it with his hands or feet, because there is a risk that he will swim with them in the puddle that will form on the floor. He will have fun watching them move and will train his ability to stay focused.


The reading nook


If you want your child to love reading when they grow up, you can set up a reading space now.

You only need an available corner where you can put a mattress or a small armchair and a mini-library that includes books according to age.

You can also use it in the early part of your baby's life, even if he doesn't understand most of the words you read to him. It's a wonderful time to establish a strong connection between you!

In addition, this corner can also be used as a place where the little one can calm down when he is angry or upset. A space for reflection and reconnecting with himself...


"Where did you hide all the toys?"

Out of love for their little one, adults tend to buy too many toys. My advice is to not overstimulate them!

Try to leave only a few more important toys in sight, which will help him in the development process and not the kind of noisy toys with lots of tiring lights.

Over time, you can create a rotation system for them so that they don't get bored of them as quickly. Of course, it also reduces the effort for parents to collect them after they have been scattered all over the room!


As a brief conclusion, every choice you make regarding decorating your baby's room will influence him to some extent.

For this reason, give yourself time to think, analyze, discuss, and then take the decisive step.

Of course, you can modify it along the way, but keep in mind the child's need for stability.

The more changes you make to the environment he's already accustomed to, the more you'll put him through an extra effort to adapt.


I wish you much success!
