Tips for decorating the nursery

1 month

Planning and decorating a nursery can be pretty overwhelming, we know. 

But try not to stress, and consider these tips.


  • Make sure everything you buy is washable. Buy nothing that says 'spot clean only' or you will regret it!
  • Don't forget to add something personal. Add lots of colorful pictures and family photos to the walls. The baby definitely needs something to stimulate them by their changing tables.
  • Pick one thing you love–a piece of art, a clothing print, a blanket, and then pull colors from there! This way the nursery will look pulled together.
  • Be sure you have a comfy rocking chair. It will make those late nights (and early mornings) a little more bearable.
  • Make sure the lighting is flexible. Sometimes you will want it bright, and other times you will want a soft light so you can check on them without waking.
  • Start with the crib—and start early! It's the focal point of most nurseries. With so many only available (or available in your location) online, you need time for delivery. Backorders, damage from shipping and other problems can set you back weeks. If you have to return, replace or find a new crib you'll need plenty of time to get this done before the little one arrives, and you'll need to know what you're going to have in order to plan the rest of the decor.
  • One word: storage. An organized room helps to feel far less frantic and chaotic after a long night/day of a crying, fussy baby
  • Keep it simple and uncluttered (they will clutter it soon enough). Use self-stick wall borders and murals. They are inexpensive and easily changed if your child would like something else later.
