Getting A Nursery Ready For Your New Arrival
For most parents who are expecting a new arrival, getting the nursery ready is a pleasant and exciting task. With the vast array of options you will find, however, a decision can become difficult when you must choose the furniture and the decor for the room. By planning things out in advance, your results will be achieved in less time and with a greater sense of satisfaction.
You may have some decorations saved from your own nursery or that you used for an older child. If so, inspect them prior to shopping. Put in writing what you have and what its design or color is. As an example, you might want to note that you have a balloon bouquet wall hanging in red, blue, and yellow. Compare your list of items desired to what you have and eliminate duplicates.
It can be helpful to decide on a theme for the nursery, and there are a great many from which to choose. Many designers make every item from a bedding collection to a toy box with the same pattern. You can select from themes that include pirates, animals, butterflies, and fairies. However, you do not have to make every item in the nursery from the same collection. You can mix in some solid colors as well to add more interest to the room.
The crib is likely to be the most important item you purchase for your nursery. When shopping for baby cribs, you might want to look at styles that can be converted to youth beds. This can save having to replace the crib as quickly. Make sure that the mattress fits snugly and that there are no gaps that the baby could get wedged into. If you are using a vintage crib, be sure that it meets all the requirements, such as the maximum space allowed between the bars.
Any fabric placed in the nursery should be fire retardant. This may be an issue with inherited items. As a rule, if you are in doubt, leave the item out of the nursery. The same guide is true for baby’s sleepwear.
Window treatments that can be easily adjusted are good choices. There may be times when baby needs to sleep during the day, so being able to darken the room may help. On the other hand, you might want to let the sunshine in for play time or when bathing the baby. You may not need blackout drapes, but a shade or blinds that can be adjusted can be a handy feature. Make sure that any cords are well out of the reach of an infant or toddler.
Choose a changing table that is very stable and solid. It should have straps attached to hold baby and lessen the possibility of a fall. However, safety straps are not totally infallible, so never leave baby unattended. You may not be on hand the first time your baby turns over, so do not let yourself be caught by surprise. Since it is best to keep all changing supplies nearby, the wall next to the table may be the perfect spot for the diaper stacker.
In practically no time, your baby will be doing homework, sleeping in a loft bed, and perhaps playing a video game. He or she will grow quickly, so you may want to add a rocking chair to the nursery. This gives visitors and parents someplace to rock baby or just observe him or her sleep. You might find that these memories will be among your favorites in years to come.
When all is said and done, there is really just one thing that is necessary for the nursery. A safe environment for your baby is the only aspect of the room that is absolutely critical. Everything else is optional, so you should feel free to create a nursery the way you want.
