Nursery décor: Here are 11 decorating tips and ideas for your newborn baby’s magnificent nursery. 

Designing a perfect nursery for your newborn baby can be a fun experience however it seems daunting especially when you don&rsquo;t know from where to begin. You might be planning everything very meticulously when your baby is on the way. You will be required to plan each and everything well in advance so that it&#39;s&rsquo; easier for you to carry out your responsibilities after childbirth. Here are a few vital tips to keep in mind while designing your baby&rsquo;s nursery: 

<ul>
	<li>
	The room location and its general layout- It is advisable to choose a peaceful room that is closer to your bedroom and has good ventilation. The lighting and space of the room play an important role while designing a nursery there. If the room is naturally cold then make sure it also has the facility to provide adequate heating and vice versa. 
	</li>
	<li>
	Choose a specific style and theme- Don&#39;t forget to incorporate the style of your house be it contemporary, traditional, or an eclectic mix. The d&eacute;cor of the nursery should match up well with the rest of the house so that it doesn&rsquo;t look out of place. 
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>
	Choose baby-friendly colors- You must choose baby-friendly colors like subtle blues, cozy pinks, nurturing greens, soothing whites, contemplative grays, and Earth-inspired neutrals. 
	</li>
	<li>
	Be innovative- When you are searching furniture, fixtures, and accessories for the nursery just make sure it&#39;s child-friendly and not childish. Don&rsquo;t just blindly follow the ongoing trends and the ultimate goal should always be for the long term. According to the experts, before even finalizing the color of the room you must prioritize the major fixtures. 
	</li>
	<li>
	Keep it simple- Always remember that less is more. Without compromising on the budget and the comfort you must carefully work on every aspect be it furniture layout, wall concepts, woodwork, ceiling designs, electrical fittings, flooring details, and the hardware fittings of the washroom. You can try to get creative with all the storage spaces. 
	</li>
	<li>
	Baby-proof the nursery- Make sure there are no loosely hanged electrical fitting near the crib and all the electrical outlets are covered properly. Make sure there is no sharp-edged furniture piece in the room. Make sure the rugs are well-secured to the floor and covering sheets are fitted properly to prevent slips. Install the baby crib away from lamps, heater, air conditioners, windows, wall decorations, and cords. Do not hang any toy or rattle to it to make it look fancy as they can cause choking hazards later on. Make sure there are no gaps in the baby crib mattress. 
	</li>
	<li>
	Are you feeling stuck, take an expert help- You can hire a professional interior designer for some terrific design. Things can turn ugly and messy without proper planning. For successful planning and some inspiration, you can always search some good designs on the internet. The experts can make your space look awe-inspiring by giving you the best piece of advice. 
	</li>
</ul>

<ul>
	<li>
	Always adapt- You would always want to make minor changes to the nursery as you watch your baby growing. A lot of things will also gradually start looking old and uninteresting. The d&eacute;cor of the nursery should always be adapted to suit your growing baby. Plastic furniture will slowly turn into wooden and you might also want to change the theme, color, and other accessories according to your baby&rsquo;s choice. 
	</li>
	<li>
	Ample storage- You must install inexpensive movable storage solutions in the nursery. It is tough to organize a lot of stuff with a baby. You need a lot of drawers to make the nursery look tidy. Always make sure that you use a laundry basket for your baby&rsquo;s nursery. 
	</li>
	<li>
	Lighting- Harsh lights is an absolute no in the nursery, specially over the crib. Installing a nightlight and a CCTV camera in the baby&rsquo;s nursery is a wise decision. 
	</li>
	<li>
	Install window guards- For safety purposes if there is a window in the room then make sure you have installed a window guard also because it will prevent your baby from falling off. 
	</li>
</ul>

If possible, you would want to paint the whole world a rainbow and pull down the sun a little bit more, for your budding star. Though It is not practical to do so but you can still design his room to make it cosy and comfortable. We advise you to go through the below-mentioned suggestions to get the best of both worlds- 

<ol start="1">
	<li>
	Patience is the key: Setting the room up for your soon coming baby angel is the most thrilling task by far. But it&rsquo;s even better if you are well-planned and don&rsquo;t rush to buy everything in one trip to the market. Be focused on basics like no paint crib, mild but enough lighting, and so on. 
	</li>
</ol>

<ol start="2">
	<li>
	Crib safety: The crib is one of the most important accessory of your baby&rsquo;s room. Make sure it has a proper height where even standing up baby is also safe. Also, the distance between the railings (if it has) should not be more than 6 cm to avoid the risk of his head getting stuck. 
	</li>
</ol>

<ol start="3">
	<li>
	Gender neutrality: We suggest you not to stereotype by painting the room blue for boys and pink for girls. It&#39;s not healthy for the kid to grow with pre-conceived notions instead let him explore himself. 
	</li>
</ol>

<ol start="4">
	<li>
	No limits: If you base the room on a theme like princess or jungle it will limit your choices so better let all options be open and no theme for the room. 
	</li>
</ol>

<ol start="5">
	<li>
	Smoke detector: It&rsquo;s one of the biggest and best safety gadgets if you can make it possible to install in your baby&rsquo;s room. 
	</li>
</ol>

<ol start="6">
	<li>
	Good investment: You should invest in a good rocking chair for the relaxation of the care giver because you need the rest as well during those lazy small breaks. You can also snuggle up with him, read a story, or feed him taking the privilege of the chair. 
	</li>
</ol>

<ol start="7">
	<li>
	Don&rsquo;t crowd the crib: Of course, you want the crib to be the baby&rsquo;s most comforting corner yet you need to avoid the clutter. That will decrease the risk of dust secretion and suffocation. 
	</li>
</ol>

<ol start="8">
	<li>
	Blackouts: You can plant thick curtains or films over the windows because no-one wants to wake up to a stark light. It can also encourage the baby to sleep for longer hours. 
	</li>
</ol>

If your nursery has limited space, don&rsquo;t cram too much in - it will make the room hard to use and feel even smaller. Small is beautiful and less really can be more. 
 
Your baby needs to sleep in the same room as you for the first six months. But you can still use your baby&#39;s nursery as a play area, clothes store and changing room until he&rsquo;s older. 
 
Here are some practical ideas on how to make the most of a small nursery.

1. Think tall furniture, not wide - Use the height of the room and choose tall rather than wide furniture. Think about buying a single-door wardrobe and adapting it to your needs.

2. Multi-functional furniture - Multi-functional furniture, such as a storage bench that you can use both as a toy chest and a seat, saves space and money.

3. Make use of wall space - Another option for nappy changing is a wall-mounted changing unit, which folds up against the wall when not you&rsquo;re not using it. Most have storage pockets for all your nappy-changing accessories. You could also put up some shelves, with enough space between them to fit boxes and baskets.

4. Folding furniture - Try portable or collapsible drawers for storing items under the cot or bed. Don&rsquo;t use them for storing potentially dangerous items such as nappy bags or toiletries. Travel cots take up less space and can be folded away when not needed. Folding bassinets that double as playpens are also available, and some have wheels for moving from one room to another. They usually come with a carrier bag, so you can put it away when you&rsquo;re not using it.

5. Extra storage ideas - Storage bags that you can vacuum-pack yourself are ideal for storing teddies, clothes and bedding. They&rsquo;re airtight and flatten the contents without damaging them. You can safely store the bags under beds and wardrobes.

6. The illusion of space - Room corners are often left bare, so think about corner cupboards or shelving and corner hanging nets. Corner changing tables use less floor space and your baby&rsquo;s legs will be facing you, which you may find easier for nappy changing. Some wall colours can make a room feel bigger or smaller. Choose soft, pastel colours for a more spacious feel. If you prefer vivid colours, use a pale colour for the base and a bright, stronger colour for detail. If the room has a low ceiling, vertical stripes on one of the walls create an illusion of height. Mirrors create a sense of space and come in fun patterns and shapes for children&rsquo;s rooms. A mirror opposite a window adds more light and sparkle to a room too. Mirrors are often heavy, so do make sure it&#39;s securely attached to the wall.

7. Consider other options - If there isn&rsquo;t room for a nursery essential or something you&rsquo;ve set your heart on, think about other options. 

Hope the above suggestions help you to design a lovely nest for your little birdie!
