Planning a nursery? This guide will give you some ideas on setting up a nursery

A few simple steps to planning baby nurseries

If you are expecting then you are probably already thinking about setting up the nursery for your little one. In the early stages, you may not know if you are having a boy or a girl so how do you go about planning for a nursery?

You may already have some ideas on possible choices, such as a favorite theme or color scheme for your nursery. Having something in mind is a great way to start. Use these ideas to plan your nursery and you will find the process quite easy.

Firstly, choose a color scheme for your nursery. If you know what your baby’s sex will be then you might already have an idea of the color. The obvious traditional colors of blue for boys and pink for girls are still favorites, but this is no longer standard. Some parents are quite happy to have a blue room for a girl for instance. Although pastels are often the accepted choice, with colors ranging from lemon through to mauve, bolder colors are becoming more popular and look particularly attractive with trims around skirting boards and the like.

The next step is to select the furniture that will be placed in the nursery. Nursery furniture will probably be one of the biggest expenses in your nursery with the most important items being the baby crib and crib mattress. Other items which are all optional include a baby changing table, a storage cupboard for clothes, a diaper stacker and other items such as a book case, a timber or plastic storage box to store toys and a rocker or lounging seat for when nursing your baby.

Some of the items to think about purchasing for your nursery are:

• Baby crib
• Crib bedding
• Baby bumpers
• Stroller
• Furniture
• Diaper stacker
• Mobile
• Wall hanging

Remember that you will have nine months to plan so take your time and choose wisely. Your nursery should ultimately be a room that both you and your baby will enjoy.
