10 Creative Baby Room Decoration Ideas

During the last few days of the pregnancy, you will notice that the mother-to-be has a newfound energy level. She would feel like organizing the house, cleaning every corner, decorating and Preparing The House Before The Baby's Arrival. This is known as the nesting instinct.

A mother's instinct wants to keep everything ready, clean, organized and at its best for the baby. This is the best time to use this energy and creativity to decide on your baby's room decor and keep the nursery or baby room ready before labour kicks in.

Things To Remember While Designing Your Baby's Room

An excellent-looking baby room with the perfect newborn baby room decor is great to have. But first things first, there are certain things you need to keep in mind before finalizing your baby's room design and decor.

1. Babyproofing – Your baby might not need all the babyproofing to be done from day 1. But once the baby arrives, it will be challenging to do the hardware and installation changes. So, it is better to get the baby proofing of your baby's nursery done before going ahead with the baby room decor.

2. Sleeping Arrangement – Before you decide on the baby room decor, you need to answer questions such as in which room your baby will be sleeping, will your baby be sleeping in its own crib or with you on a bed, will the crib be attached to the bed or separate, etc.

3. Convenience – Another concern that you need to address is convenience. The furniture you get for your baby's room, the fittings and organizing hacks should determine how easy or difficult it is for you to access everything you need in your baby's room without moving around all the time.

4. Breastfeeding Corner – If you exclusively breastfeed, you would be spending a significant amount of your time child, at least for the first six months or beyond. Thus, having a cozy corner where you can sit and breastfeed peacefully is essential. A comfortable chair with some pillows, a small table to place a bottle or jug of water for when you feel thirsty, a burp cloth, etc., should be a part of the planning.

5. Lighting & Ventilation – In the initial months, your baby will not have a very fixed sleeping schedule and will not be sleeping through the night. Thus, comfortable day naps are crucial for their growth. In addition, a room with proper lighting, drapes or curtains when lighting is not needed and adequate ventilation for fresh air is essential for your baby's comfort and health.

Must-Have Essentials In Your Baby's Room

As you and your baby will be spending a lot of time in the room where your baby will nap, sleep and stay, whether it be the same bedroom as you sleep in or a separate nursery for the baby, there are a few things that you need at an arm's length – the must-have essentials.

1. Diaper Caddy – A caddy for all the accessories, diapers, wipes, and personal care items you might need to carry to the washroom or different rooms.
2. Multipurpose Organiser – SuperBottoms Multipurpose Organiser will help you keep all the diapers, diaper accessories, burp cloths, change clothes, etc. well organized for easy access and have everything ready that you need while massaging, before and after bathing handy.

4. Washbasin – For a quick hand or bum wash.
5. Books & Toys – For playtime, bedtime, and their entertainment.
6. Floor Mat or Play Gym – For tummy time and playtime.

Baby Room Decor Styles

1. All Colour Coordinated – For people who like everything in the same colour scheme and coordinated, you may want to design the baby room decor in a way that the furniture, the drapes n curtains, the rug, the furnishing & the wall colours and designs are all coordinated in a colour scheme of your choice.

2. Mismatched Colours – Sometimes, there is a charm in the chaos as well. Many people like to decorate a room in all mismatched colours. This, too, has its own appeal.

3. Simplistic & Minimalistic – Keeping the furniture and décor to the bare minimum and simplistic is not just sustainable, but it is also very trendy these days.

4. Lettering – A quote from your favourite children's book, an inspiring message for the parents, random alphabet and numbers – gives your baby's room an inspiring look with some lettering art.

5. Nature & Animals – Plants and animals painted over the walls, some live plants around the room, or wall decals inspired by nature make for adorable baby room themes and styles.

6. Cartoon Characters – There is something about cartoon characters that equally appeal to kids and adults. You can never go wrong with some classic animated characters or superheroes as your baby room decor theme.

Select The Right Colour

Experts recommend pastel tones for the baby's room as pastels tones are known to improve your baby's concentration. Basic palettes such as baby pink, light grey, lemony yellow, sky blue or even the good old white are popular and recommended.

Sharp tones of colour and contrasts lead to the sharpening of memory. Thus, as your baby grows, you can add more colours, characters, splashes and tones to the baby room decor. Of course, this does not apply only to the room walls, but the baby room decoration ideas can be extended to the furniture, the drapes and curtains, and even the floor carpets.

10 Creative Ideas To Decorate Your Baby's Room

1. A Bookcase Wall – An elegant way of adding and introducing books into your baby's life is not just to read to them but also to make sure that they grow up with books around them. A vintage bookshelf or one with cute art is a perfect addition to your baby room decor.

2. Wind Chimes & Dreamcatchers – Something to catch their attention and keep them wondering & occupied with, colourful wind chimes with very gentle soothing sounds and dream catchers are a must-have in your baby's room.

3. Ceiling Art – In the first few months, your baby will be on their back while awake most of the time. So why give them the tedious white ceiling view? Instead, add a little art to the ceiling and give them the first-hand Sistine Chapel experience!

4. Memory Wall – There will be many things from your baby's childhood that you would want to preserve. Get their first-day picture, first onesie, handprint, footprints, etc., framed and create a unique memory wall. You can also go a little extra creative and get special people in their life to write messages and sign them on this wall.

5. Rainbows, Stars & The Moon – Made from felt, cloth, painting or stickers – adding a dash of magical rainbows, clouds, stars & the moon would add a lot of magic to your little one's room!

6. Photo Wall – A picture from every milestone, every photo shoot, or every special family member and friend, a photo wall is an excellent addition to your baby room decor.

7. Plushies & Soft Toys – For generations, soft toys & plushies have been one gift or a baby item that all kids love! Add a shelf or a corner that you can decorate with plushies and soft toys, even if your baby is not introduced to them yet.

8. A Rocking Chair – This is not just an excellent addition to the look and aesthetics of your baby's room decor but is also a utility piece of furniture that you can sit on and rock your baby to sleep during bedtime or nap time.

9. Wooden Blocks Corner – Something that your baby can later play with, too, jumbo size wooden blocks with alphabets painted on them looks very trendy. You can also spell your baby's name out using these as props for photoshoots.

10. A Corner For The Parents – A recliner, a bed or a sofa that can turn into a bed – having some furniture for parents to rest on for days when your baby needs you around is also a great idea.

Do's and Don'ts of Baby Room Decor

DOs

A - Choose your paint carefully. Go for a paint that has no lead and, is chemical-free, does not feel off or come off quickly.
B - Install proper warm lighting in the baby's room.
C - Add carpet or rug to the floor.

DON'Ts

A - DO NOT forget to add storage options to your newborn baby room decoration. You would need endless things for your newborn, and proper storage furniture and other options will be a life saviour for you.
B - DO NOT forget to stock up for all your baby's essential items at least one month in advance. Although this has nothing to do with baby room decor, you will need to designate a place for all your baby's essentials and later, once the baby arrives, you will not get much time to go out and shop; it is better to sort this in advance.
C - DO NOT keep any small loose items around the room to avoid a choking hazard (1).

As we say, our house reflects our personality.
