The arrival of a baby is a wonderful and an exciting moment. Each one of the family members does his best to welcome the new member. You start to shop for cot, cot mattress, bedding for cot, nightlight, covers, delicate clothing for your delicate new- born, among other many things. Before the arrival, it is important to put together the nursery. But have you thought anything about the baby’s room? You are going to spend most of your times in the baby’s room, so make sure that it is themed according to your taste too. It should be organized, soothing, and fun packed. Read on to know more about the décor ideas to create a serene and tranquil environment for you and your baby.
Colors and Themes
Newborns can only see blacks, grays and whites and as they develop their sight, they start recognizing red. But reds should be avoided as they can create confusion to the baby. Softer hues like traditional pinks, blues, greens and yellows are more pleasing to the eyes.
You can take up a theme such as vintage, floral, animals, greens and then incorporate things keeping this in mind. For a vintage- themed room, you can get all those family keepsakes. So it is time to open the archive and remember the ones who came before. Green is an ethereal color. You can choose the furnishings in this color to create a soothing background. Similarly you can play with such fun colors.
Lights
It is important to control the lights during day and night. Using curtains with thick lining can prevent bright sunlight in the daytime. Your baby may not be ready to handle the lamp already. But it is no reason that you shouldn’t decorate the room with lights and lamps. Of course, you can use lights to enliven the room. You can get specifically kid- friendly lights these days. So you don’t need to worry much. You just have to make sure that it’s not within reach. You would want to read bed- time stories to your kid, so consider switching to a dimmer light which will be cost- effective.
Photos
We all are aware of the fact that time flies really fast. And it seems impossible to keep the photo frames updated all the time. A number of photo frames can look tacky at the same time. But the best idea to keep all those memories alive and constantly in front of you is to create a “photo wall”. A photo wall can change the whole aura of the room. You can select and combine photos from the past and present. You can already imagine how fun that would be! Making a great collage on the wall can bring life to the room. Now, no more tucking old pictures in those photo albums! Get them all out and create a family story on the wall. This way, your baby will grow up to know more about the history and each member of the family.
Paintings
Decorating a room with a wall painting is fun and it looks very quirky and contemporary. Getting framed paintings for the baby’s room is a nice option too. Earlier, humans painted on cave walls so it has been in existence ever since. And paintings exhibit priorities, personal flair, and standards. It can add color, create balance and provide a focal point to the room.
But remember, you should get done with all the painting and wallpapering way before the baby is expected, that is, at least eight weeks before. A cluttered room can be produce negative vibes and can be potentially harmful. After you have installed everything, leave the windows open for proper aeration. Finishing them early may terminate any and every risk to the baby.
