Baby's Room Decor

It's such an exciting time when baby is on the way! Planning the baby's nursery room decor while thinking about who will be spending time in the room will make everyone more comfortable when baby arrives.

Keep Mom's Comfort In Mind When Designing Baby's Room

Designing a nursery for baby? When setting up the decor, don't forget to think about the mom (and dad) too!

When a new baby is on the way the focus is of course on the little one when designing a room, but mom will be spending plenty of time in the room as well and should remember consider her comfort. Making wise purchases and decorating decisions will pay off in the long run, not only for baby, but for mom, too.

Here are some main areas of the room that to consider during decorating, for Mom and Baby's comfort later.

Dresser

Baby's clothes may be little, but you need a good system for storage as it can build up! When looking at dressers, if you want to save some money later think about getting one that is big enough to last a few years.

Change Table

There are many dressers that have a detachable changing table that sits on top. Check that the changing table is at a comfortable height by standing in front of it, bending your arms at a ninety-degree angle. The top of the changing area should be just below your arms. This will help reduce back strain.

Rocking chair

A rocking chair is often very soothing to a new baby, so you may be spending a lot of time in it. While shopping, take the time to try several chairs out for comfort by having a seat in them. If the back is too straight, it won’t be comfortable for those long nights. Check the rocking mechanism. Is it enclosed to avoid little fingers getting pinched?

Lighting

Soft lighting is great for quiet time. An overhead light is good to have for general daily use, but it is also wise to invest in a small lamp or night light near the changing table for late night care. This keeps the late-night disturbances at a minimum for the baby, helping everyone to get back to sleep quicker.

Music

Think Mozart had music playing in his nursery? Either way, music can be soothing to both baby and mom. Have a CD player ready to go with some soft music and also some fun songs for playtime.

Blankets

In addition to baby blankets, it’s wise to have a larger afghan or blanket on hand for mom to use while snuggling with the baby. Stored in a large wicker basket they will also give the room a little cozy touch.

Pillows

Once the baby starts crawling and playing on the floor, having some pillows for mom to sit on can make a world of difference for her. One of the leaning pillows with arms can also make a nice backrest for mom, too, while playing on the floor with the little one.

Small fridge

One of the handiest items you can put into a newborn baby’s nursery is a dorm-size fridge. You can keep drinks and snacks in it handy for mom. Of course, once baby reaches the crawling stage, the fridge will have to go. But, in the meantime, mom can rock baby, and grab a nice cold water at the same time –and that, is designing with comfort in mind.

Creating a comfortable environment for both the mom and baby will make the nursery an enjoyable place to spend time while they are getting to know each other.
