Designing a cheerful nursery room

A well-designed cheerful nursery provides a stimulating environment where infants rest, play and learn – Mini P. The birth of a child is a special occasion, and many expectant parents begin preparing and designing the nursery room months ahead. Especially because once the infant is born, life becomes a whirlwind of never-ending baby-care chores. A well-designed cheerful nursery provides a stimulating environment where infants rest, play and learn. Here are some guidelines to design a cheerful nursery room. Choose the right room Select a room in the house that gets natural light and is shielded from traffic noise. A room with west-facing windows is best to avoid harsh sun rays. Plan and design Your aim should be to design a nursery in which your infant has ample space to crawl and explore without bumping into or knocking over objects. Spread a quilt, or light mattress or carpet on the floor to cushion falls. But ensure carpets/quilts are vacuumed and/or cleaned frequently, to avoid dust inhalation. Opt for open shelves (safer) or a closet (keep it locked when not in use) for storage. You’ll also need a diaper changing table — place a rubber sheet over a table. Ensure shelves/drawers are easily accessible to stock nappies, wipes, creams and clothes. If your little one likes sleeping in the nursery during the day, you will need a durable baby cot. Invest in a sturdy cot which will last a few years because even growing infants enjoy sleeping in baby cots. Ensure the pillows aren’t too soft (there is the danger of smothering) and hanging toys are out of reach (long cords can pose the danger of strangulation). Use safety devices such as dummy plugs on electric switches and door safety blocks. Check all furniture for sharp ends and install safety/round corners. Décor Use non-allergic, toxin-free paints and get the room painting done in advance, so that the room is odourless before your child is born. Infants love bright, colourful pictures and toys, especially black, red and white. So ditch pastels and get some colourful pictures and toys. Wall decals for nursery rooms come in many varieties. They are cost-effective and add necessary colour and cheer. Stock up Stock the nursery room shelf/closet with all things you need — your child’s daily wear, warm clothing, diapers, nappies, nappy rash cream, soap, oil, towels, bed sheets, etc. Differing toys should be placed at a height where your child can reach and choose them.
