Your baby’s room will be more than just a place to sleep. It will be your little one’s sanctuary, a space you have carved out just for them. Being creative and passionate while decorating for your new arrival will ensure that both you and baby have a comfortable atmosphere to spend time together- and believe us, you will be spending LOTS of time in baby’s room. Here are 5 small ways to make this space extra special:
1. Choose your paint carefully
You’ve finally selected the perfect colour for your baby’s bedroom and it's gorgeous! However, us mommas know that keeping the shade of our walls looking clean and fresh is a challenge in a house full of little ones. Tiny paw marks and household stains can damage the look of your beautiful home. Avoid this by opting for Dulux Easycare kids Washable paint. The genius formula contains stain repellent technology that makes it easy peasy to wash, wipe and remove common household stains, without damaging the paint on your wall.
2. Use the space to stimulate your baby
Baby’s room is not simply a living space, but the first place they will explore and discover the world. Help them on their adventures by providing stimulating décor for your little one to discover. Furry blankets and sheepskin rugs are great for this. Textured teddys and bright mobiles will also stimulate baby’s senses. However, keep these away from the crib itself so that there is less stimulation at night or before nap time.
3. Picking the right colour for mum and baby
Choosing a colour for baby’s nursery can be quite a tricky task, especially with so many options out there. Colours have a massive impact on our mood and stress-levels but luckily there are plenty of options to choose from in the Easycare Kids range. Our favourites are Stork Feather and First Cuddle- with names like that you can't possibly go wrong with these options for baby's room. The neutral and calming colours are perfect for your darling daughter and son. Plus, you won't have to stress about repainting their room as they grow up. You can find the dream bedroom colour by using the super helpful Dulux Visualizer here.
4. Frame your baby’s memories
Choosing décor for baby’s room is a challenge. Too many wall pieces can make walls look messy. A special way to decorate your baby’s wall is to frame your little one’s memories. Perhaps their hand and foot prints, or their very first pair of cotton socks. You could even hang a particularly adorable outfit from the early days on a wooden hanger on the wall.
5. Wood is a classic
Keep your little one’s room feeling contemporary and timeless by using wooden furniture. Wooden tones are relaxing and natural. Wood adds a sense of stability to a room, as well as style. Go for wooden drawers, or a wooden rocking chair for those long nights by baby’s side. Wood is also a more sustainable option than plastic, ticking your green box!
