Alt: Nursery that makes you think about nursery design tips for your new home
It’s easy to get caught up in the concept that you need to spend a lot of money on décor and furnishings to have a lovely nursery, but keep in mind that this space will most likely be redecorated in two or three years. So, although you want to create a cosy, beautiful nursery that makes everyone ooh and aah, there are a few budget-friendly tips to keep in mind. We’ve gathered some of the finest budget nursery design tips—along with some of the most stunning nurseries that set the bar high—so you can shop your way to a beautiful space for your baby while keeping within your budget. There are many great guides available online that will help you remodel both your house and your nursery. Keep reading for nursery design tips for your new home!
The crib
Designer cribs exist, and they are expensive. Fortunately, there are a plethora of well-designed, budget-friendly choices available. Before you spend thousands on a crib, search around for less expensive choices, such as three-in-one convertible cribs that can be converted into a toddler bed when the time comes.
Although it may be tempting to fill your baby’s crib with a cloud-like variety of cushions and soft toys, just one of each is required. To decorate on a budget, stick to attractive patterned bedding and simple style.
Storage and art
You don’t have a lot of storage space? It’s no issue. With a few IKEA shelves and some beautiful baskets, you can create a temporary storage solution that keeps toys and clothing hidden while enabling books to be shown.
The same goes with art, the cuteness factor is usually a winner in nursery décor, and there are plenty of internet stores that can help you out there. Are the bigger prints a bit out of your price range? Choose a collection of four smaller prints. At a quarter of the cost, you’ll receive four times the charm.
Repurpose your furniture and DIY
Redecorating a nursery is just like redecorating a bathroom or any other room, and you should consider reusing furniture. Use an underused dresser as a double-duty changing station if you have one sitting around. You may also look for inexpensive alternatives at vintage stores or on Etsy. It comes with a changing tray and pad that can be removed.
You might want to include seating in your nursery, such as a sofa so that visitors can fawn over your new baby. We recommend a convertible daybed that can be used as a child’s bed once your toddler has outgrown the crib.
It is great to use vintage or second-hand furniture. Visit your local antique and vintage stores or look for vintage goods on eBay or Etsy, especially if you’re looking for items that you won’t need after your child is older. A good example is a rocking chair.
Who says everything needs to be bought in a store? Make your wall decor, like a colourful paper garland. It will save you money and add a personal touch to your nursery.
No need for a bunch of toys
As much as you’ll want to fill the room with every cute toy you can think of, infants won’t enjoy them as much as you would. Save your money (believe us, you’ll need the toy budget when they’re a year or two older) and buy only a few lovely stuffed animals you adore, rather than a whole zoo.
Moving with a newborn baby
Babies require a routine, which you must adhere to. You may easily work on the packing and unpacking while your baby is asleep or being occupied by your spouse if you get them on a routine.
Create a routine for yourself since you know your kid needs one, and stretch out the packing and unpacking. Instead of attempting to do it all in a few days, take your time and complete it one piece at a time. After all, you’re a new parent, and you should be able to relax and enjoy yourself during this period.
Preparing for movers
Preparing your baby for movers can be challenging, but you should be ready in advance to avoid stressing your baby and yourself. If at all possible, enlist the assistance of a child care provider, particularly on the day of the move. Allow someone else to watch your child while you relocate, whether it’s a trusted friend, family member, or babysitter. You may do this even if you need a day to catch up on packing or just sleep to ensure you have enough energy for the move.
Baby proofing your house
Take the time to babyproof your new house before you start unloading things. It’s much easier to accomplish this when there’s nothing in the house than when there’s a lot of stuff in the house. As you unpack, make careful to secure any furniture or other things that might endanger your baby.
There are a few things you can do to make your relocation with your newborn infant go more smoothly. Hiring a professional residential moving company may be the best approach to make this a simple and stress-free process. They will very certainly be able to pack and unpack your belongings for you.
Don’t forget to pack a baby bag
It would be a major error to pack all of the baby gear and fail to bring the essentials. Bring a baby bag with you everywhere you go. Just like there are roles of a real estate agency, there are roles for everything in your baby bag. Your baby bag should contain at least three days’ worth of baby supplies to ensure you have adequate food, diapers, pacifiers, and other essentials for the trip.
If you’re relocating a long distance, you may need to pack supplies for a week to a month. The last thing you want is to arrive and discover that you don’t have any diapers.
When you arrive
You may unload and unpack the baby items first if you mark your boxes and prepare the vehicle correctly. If you set up the nursery first, you’ll find it much simpler to live in your new house while you unpack the rest of your belongings.
Keep the nursery as close to your former home’s layout as feasible. This will assist in ensuring the baby’s happiness and comfort. When putting the crib and other pieces together, keep an eye out for any potential hazards in the room.
