Nesting. It’s a real thing. Has this overwhelming desire to get your home ready for the impending arrival of your little one hit you yet? Generally, this feeling gets a lot stronger the closer you get to having birth. Saying that, often the first thing you start planning once finding out you’re pregnant is a space for your baby!
It can become a little overwhelming or stressful because of the amount of options and information at our fingertips. So, we’ve put together a few tips that help simplify things and hopefully provide a little direction…
1. Find Your Inspiration: Choose one item to inspire the entire nursery. This can be anything from a piece of artwork to a favourite toy. Use it as a focal point to guide your design decisions.
2. Plan Your Layout: Map out your floor plan, keeping in mind the safest and best places for essential furniture. Try to position things in the most functional way for you, making it easier to manoeuvre around the room.
3. Consider the Lighting: Proper lighting sets the mood and atmosphere of any space and can help establish your little one's sleep routine. Low lighting during feeding times can help calm your baby, as bright lights can be too stimulating. Make sure you have a light switch near the entrance so you don’t have to tread in the dark to find it.
4. Flexible Design: As your baby grows older, having a room with a flexible design that can still be suitable for them at different ages will make it easier for you in the long run.
Creating the perfect nursery for your baby is a rewarding journey that combines practicality with creativity. You can design a beautiful and nurturing space by finding a single inspirational piece, planning a functional layout, and considering the impact of lighting.
Remember, this is a special place where you and your baby will share countless moments, so infuse it with love and care. With thoughtful planning and a touch of personal flair, you'll create a nursery that provides comfort and joy for you and your little one. Happy nesting!
