The complete guide for pregnant women
1. Choosing a theme or color
Enthusiasm is at its peak, you have already started visualizing different arrangements and places where you can mount the future furniture, but first it will be recommended to paint the walls to properly disinfect the room. Have you already thought of a theme? This can be inspired by nature, animals, outer space, stories or your favorite cartoons. It is important to like it and to be sure that you do not overload the room too much, so as not to become suffocating and tiring.
If you want something more simple or minimalist, then you can choose a color like pale green, pink, white, yellow or blue. If you want something more intense, then you can change the color of a single wall, to create a relaxing and elegant space.
2. Selecting the right bed
From the first moment you started visualizing your baby's room, the crib was the centerpiece and the first thing you started looking for. After much research, you've surely noticed many models, some more appealing than others, but you're not 100% sure which one to choose.
First of all, you will have to pay attention to the quality and materials used. The paint applied must be water-based, because little ones tend to bite things around them, and those that have a chemical coating applied can be harmful to their health. As a model, co-sleeper cribs are the best choice because they can be used for a longer time, even 4 years, without problems. They can be transformed in 9 ways, being perfect not only for resting, but also for playing or watching their favorite cartoons more comfortably.
3. Storage spaces
Here you have many options to choose from. In the first phase, you don't need a large wardrobe that takes up all the space in the room, because it won't be of much help to you at this point. The furniture should be practical and well-organized, and for better efficiency, it should have as many compartments as possible to organize the necessary things as best as possible. A changing table with integrated drawers is ideal for storing diapers and clothes. Also, a cabinet with adjustable shelves and a spacious chest of drawers will be perfect. And to save space, you can opt for multifunctional furniture, such as a crib with a built-in drawer.
