If you’re here, it means you are expanding your family and welcoming a new member. A reason for celebration certainly. During this time both excitement and anxiety are inseparable, and there are a bunch of things you need to plan, from doctor’s appointments to managing your everyday life. There is no shortage of to-do tasks when you are waiting for your first baby’s arrival.
However, the amount of stress you feel during your pregnancy can be overwhelming. That’s why the nesting phase of your pregnancy can be very helpful for you. During this time, you have the opportunity to form an emotional bond with your child prior to its arrival in this world.
Many new parents use this time to design nursery rooms for their babies. However, we understand how stressful it is to design your first nursery. So, we’ve come up with this article that will help you sail through the process as smoothly as possible and also share some interesting tips you can apply to make your baby’s nursery more comfortable and homely.
👶Decide a color scheme and theme for your nursery
Sure, you can’t identify your unborn baby’s sex in India, which makes it ten times more difficult to settle on a theme for your nursery. However, we often forget there are a lot of options available when it comes to nursery themes. Colors like white, eggshell, yellow, purple, sage and lavender are gender-neutral and look awesome on nursery walls. It doesn’t matter if your newborn is a boy or a girl; these colors will be perfect for both. Then comes the decor. You can always choose gender-neutral characters that are enjoyed by both young girls and boys. Nurseries with themes like Winnie the Pooh, Toy Story, Tom, and Jerry, etc. are gender neutral, so no matter what gender your baby gets assigned at birth, these themes will be perfect. On top of that, you will have a unique nursery that doesn’t revolve around pink and blue.
👶The perfect baby blanket
The nursery will be the place where your newborn spends their formative years. You must be mindful while designing the layout of your nursery. Two things to keep in mind are that you keep extra space so that your baby can move around (because no matter how much you wish your precious baby would grow up, one day you will find them crawling, and then suddenly they will start walking), and that there is enough sunlight. Babies need movement, sunlight, and fresh air to develop, so while you are designing the perfect room for your perfect little angel, be mindful of these points.
Parenthood is a new beginning for any couple, and designing your baby’s nursery together can be the perfect time to practice taking decisions as parents. Cherish these moments and use this guide to make your decision-making process a lot easier. However, if you still feel like some extra help can benefit you, you can always contact Shreya Designs for all your interior design needs.
👶The perfect artwork for your perfect baby
Now that you know what will be the theme and color of your baby’s new room and what kind of blanket your baby will have. It’s time to decide on the artwork for your nursery. Again, the issue of being completely blind to their gender can be a huge roadblock. However, just like last time, the solution is incredibly simple. You can always use artworks that have alphabets and numbers; you can also use abstract artwork that suits your nursery theme. Then there are artworks related to the cartoons you selected for the room; for example, if you decided on a Toy Story theme, there are several artworks available, or you can easily design one according to your vision.
Now that you have artwork selected, let’s move on to the next stage of designing the perfect nursery for your baby.
👶Find the right mobile
Mobiles over your baby’s crib will be something that your newborn will look at all the time. It will be the first thing they see when they wake up and the last thing they see before bed. So, there is no doubt this should be extra special and unique. Also, mobiles are the items that receive the most compliments. Other than that, a unique and beautiful mobile can instantly upgrade the whole vibe of your nursery.
There are different kinds of mobile you can buy, you can also order several custom mobiles from sites like Etsy. Choosing the right mobile can be time-consuming, however, it is important that you put extra effort into this step and find a mobile that brings a smile to your baby’s face every time they see it.
