What are some baby room essentials?

A baby cot and changing table are must-have furniture items, while helpful additions include a rocking chair and bouncer. Position a mobile above the cot to promote visual stimulation and brain development. Dark window shades or blackout nursery curtains are also essential for baby’s sleep. Whether it’s a wardrobe, dresser or boxes, don’t forget to include plenty of storage for little clothes, linen, diapers and toys.

How do I decorate a nursery?

When decorating a nursery, pick a theme that will endure at least five years. Newborn themes are tempting, but those early months fly very quickly and will quickly need to be updated. Create a calming effect with neutral walls and inject a playful tone with a colourful accent wall, wall art or patterned curtains. Don’t forget soft lighting for when you’re changing nappies or feeding in the middle of the night. Once baby starts to crawl, you may want to throw down a soft floor rug.
