Are you fretting over how your child’s room should look like?

The number of decor ideas for a baby room are practically limitless. In fact, decorating the kid’s room has more to do with narrowing down your options than coming up with them in the first place! A proven method of decorating is to begin with an overarching theme, then expand from there.

Before you begin, keep in mind that your child will use the room for a very long time. In Singapore, that’s from birth until they’re married. Adorable cartoons will inevitably phase out for cringey band posters before #adult décor appears. For a start, it’s probably best to keep the base décor and fittings as simple as possible.

To choose a theme for the nursery, brainstorming themes you’ll find most pleasing. You’ll want it to be calming for you to nurse, soothe and play with your baby. Moreover, the room should be interesting and fun to look at to stimulate the baby’s development.

Let’s say you and your spouse decide on a teddy bear theme. Here’s how to think about decorating the room.

Furniture

Among the most appealing baby room furniture are those made of solid wood because of their classic elegance and reliable quality.

Depending on your budget and the amount of space you have in the nursery, choose the staples first. These include a crib, dresser, changing table, and nursing chair.

Consider shopping for secondhand deals. After all, you’ll only be using these items for only a few years. There’s nothing a good coat of paint can cover up.

Walls

Sticking with our teddy bear theme, it can mean having classic brown bears, or bears of different colors. You can either stencil them or stick on some cute bear appliques. Refrain from applying wallpaper treatments to the room, unless you’re willing to put with the cost of installing and eventually removing teddy. A coat of paint and some embellishments will do.

Floors

Many people miss out the floors as an integral part of decorating a baby room. However, the floors really finish the look. You can complete the job with hardwood, soft carpeting, or pleasant throw rugs.

Bedding

It can be a fun experience for parents to find adorable teddy bear-themed ideas for bedding. There should be more than enough sets to choose from in every store you visit. Just be sure to check for quality, the fabrics are machine washable, hypoallergenic, and are soft to the touch.

Have a blast planning for your nursery as you await the arrival of the newest family member!
