Your baby’s nursery is where she will spend most of her first few months and be one of the first places to offer sensory signals.
You can make baby’s nursery a calm and soothing environment while still offering stimulus to help her brain grow and develop.
Use these five simple tips to make your baby’s nursery great.
Tip 1: Find Your Inner Serenity
Calm and serenity should be the underlying theme of any nursery.
Babies thrive in a calm and serene environment that allows them to be relaxed and observe the world around them.
Consider the colors that are good for a serene atmosphere, like cool greens, browns and blues.
Tip 2: Consider the Sex
If you know what gender baby you’re having you can think of the images you want surrounding that baby.
Many people still prefer the pink for girls and blue for boys theme, but there are many different styles of baby bedding available to consider.
Tip 3: Understand How Your Child’s Brain Develops
The brain of a newborn and infant is constantly firing and growing.
Most of the brain growth happens before the age of two and therefore babyhood and toddlerhood are important times in a child.
Consider strong, bright colors to encourage brain stimulation and confidence.
Tip 4: Think of a Transitional Theme
To avoid having to redecorate an entire room when baby is grown consider transitional themes or colors for the nursery.
For example, if you are considering a jungle theme, choose a soft brown or green for the walls to ease transition of theme later.
Tip 5: Consider Accessories Carefully
Accessories in your nursery should be considered carefully as you don’t want them to be a hazard when baby become mobile and curious.
You can instead use wall mounted diaper holders, a decorative lotion dispense or hamper or toy box to bring the theme together and help it transition well later.
