Styling a Nursery

Preparing a nursery is an exciting journey that blends practicality with creativity With the approaching arrival of a newborn there are many preparations for parents-to-be to consider. To help make this exciting time less stressful and hassle free, follow our top tips on styling a nursery:

Choose a Timeless Colour Palette

When designing your baby's nursery, focus on creating a relaxing and tranquil space. It’s beneficial to stick to calm, soothing and unisex palettes such as soft greys and pastels.  Calming pastel colours work wonderfully, and you can build a cohesive look by selecting a thoughtful colour scheme. Bright colours and busy patterns aren’t conducive to a quiet and peaceful space for you or your baby. 

Prioritise Multifunctional Furniture

When designing a nursery, think of how the room can evolve with your child. Look for convertible furniture like cribs that transform into toddler beds, and ensure you have plenty of open space for play. When you invest in furniture that serves multiple purposes, you can maximise both utility and style in your nursery. For example, dressers can double as changing tables, and look for items that can serve as both functional necessities and decorative pieces. 

Creating A Safe Space For Baby

Naturally you will want to protect your baby at all times and creating a safe environment for them crucial. Firstly ensure that any furniture meets current safety standards and ensure anything that could pose a significant threat is secured to the wall using brackets to prevent it from falling over. Also, position the cot away from potential hazards such as windows or heaters. Keep any cords out of reach - if your blind has a chain, ensure it is secured to the wall using a P-clip. Plus, hide any electrical cords out of view and make sure they are in good condition.

Make sure nothing is within reach that could be pulled down or climbed on. 

Creating an ideal sleep environment is critical for establishing healthy sleep habits. Blackout blinds are a simple yet effective solution for encouraging solid sleep. They help signal bedtime by creating a dark ambiance, allowing babies to wind down naturally and fall asleep more easily.

BlocOut blinds not only darken the room for daytime naps and night-time sleep, but they can also help regulate room temperature by providing an additional barrier against cold.

By following these tips, you'll create a nursery that's not just visually appealing, but also a comfortable, functional space that grows with your baby.
