Now the time has come to discuss the arrangement of the room where the baby will spend a large part of his time.

You have probably analyzed several design options, but it is good to adapt them to the needs and style of your family.

The more original and creative you will be, the more joy you will feel. You will have the certainty that your soul is contained within the walls of that room and not of others!

Therefore, I thought of some ideas to take into account when you start your preparations.


Pastel vs Rainbow


What do you resonate with the most? 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!

At the same time, you can also refer to characters from cartoons or to a specific theme (for example: Kingdom of funny animals - in the case of boys - or Sugarland of princesses - in the case of girls).

Discuss this aspect together and reach a middle ground. Otherwise, you will have to whitewash again and again.

It is also preferable to put yourself in the child's shoes and imagine what would calm him down. After all, being the room where you will sleep, the atmosphere of rest must prevail.


Suffocated by so many shelves


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

I suggest you forget about him.

First of all, do not place anything on top of the crib! There is a risk of detaching from the wall and endangering the child's life!

At the same time, the more you load the top of the room, the more tiring it will become for the baby. Think 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 several compartments, in which to store all the necessary things. If it's easier for you, you can leave some products that you use more often right on its surface.

Another option would be the cot with a drawer or a storage place under the mattress.

Whatever you decide, let the wall "breathe"!


"Will you let me sleep between the 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 it to sleep in a more relaxing position, but also to fit into the space you have available in the room.
  • The material from which it is made should not be treated with toxic substances, because the baby will chew a lot of it when he manages to stand up on his feet. There are also cots provided with silicone protection for the top bars.
  • The mattress should be comfortable, favor a correct position for the spine, have a cover that can be detached and washed, anti-allergic and not allow too much heating of the body.
  • The ability to adjust according to the child's age is another very important criterion!
  • The special protections for the cot should have a secure fastening system, so that there is no risk of detachment and suffocation of the baby. If you access this link , you will find several variants of such protectors.
  • The wheels can make your work easier when you want to clean and move the bed or when you want to bring it to your room to experience co-sleeping.

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


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


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

In order for him to really enjoy this experience, it would be ideal to place certain objects at his level, so that he can see them.

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

In addition, you can stick to the bottom of the mirror (as a border) cardboard with various images in black and white, specially made to stimulate their vision and memory in the first 3 months of life.

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


The reading corner


If you want your child to love reading when he grows up, you can set up a space for reading right now.

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

You can also call on him in the first part of the baby's life, even if he does not understand the vast majority of the words you read to him. It's a wonderful time to establish a strong connection between you!

In addition, this playpen can also be used as one in which the little one can calm down when he is angry or upset. A space for reflection and reconnection with oneself...


"Where did you hide all the toys? "

Out of love for the little one, adults tend to buy toys in excess. My advice is not to overstimulate it!

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

With time, you can create a rotation system of them, so that they don't get bored of them quickly. Of course, it is also reduced by the effort of the parents to collect them after they were scattered all over the room!


As a short conclusion, every choice you make regarding the decoration of the 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 in the environment to which he is already accustomed, the more you will subject him to an additional effort to adapt.


I wish you much success!
