If you are seeking some great tips for nursery design, look no further. We’ll list some awesome ideas to get your creative mind ticking. Before you know it, you’ll have a concrete image of how you want your child’s nursery to look.

TOP DESIGN TIPS FOR YOUR BABY’S NURSERY

• Woven hangings on the wall – This will give a free-spirited, boho feel to the nursery. It may seem a bit glam for a nursery but a woven feature on the wall really stands out and adds texture to a room.
• Keep it bright, colourful and patterned – Your baby’s nursery will be a haven of fun and creativity for some of the most important years of their development. Getting them exposed to a variety of patterns, colours, and images in their environment will strengthen their sensory awareness. If you do decide to go busy or have a feature piece though, try leaving it to one wall with colours on other walls to complement.
• Include blackout curtains – You can get the most comfortable furniture in the world and a beautiful crib and the baby may still have trouble sleeping. If you want to up the chances of a restful night, we suggest you invest in blackout curtains!
• When buying furniture, think long term – It’s wise to think a bit further into the future so the furniture you choose can last a little longer. So, when buying drawers or a cot bed, think about how quickly they grow. Going for slightly larger items at first is a great option as your baby transitions to a toddler.
• Choose a quality rug – The more space you have the better. You and your baby will be spending lots of time playing and creating on the floor and a rug will make things so much comfier.
• Invest in a quality rocking chair – Seems vintage but is a must if you want to have a comfortable place to cradle your baby.
• Think subtler shades – If you want to get the most out of the nursery and don’t want something strong and bold like a feature wall, go subtle. Choose gentler toning shades in the palette. For example, a cute idea for a boy’s room can be a patterned wallpaper with seagulls and a nautical feel.

 Your options are wide open and there are many things you can do to create a fun, stimulating environment for when your baby comes.
