The order and distribution in small baby’s bedroom is very important. If you have a small room for your baby and you don’t know how to distribute and decorate it, in this article you will find some very useful advice from Yardie Baby. Hopefully they will serve as a guide to decorate the room of your future little angel.
These are some of the questions you should ask yourself and take into account when furnishing and decorating a small children’s room:
- How many meters does the room have?
- Do you have natural light?
- Do you have a built-in wardrobe?
We have made sure that in this post you have all the answers to all your questions to set up, decorate and organize your little baby’s room.
ESSENTIAL FURNITURE TO FURNISH SMALL BABY ROOM
If we know that we have limited space in the baby’s bedroom, the first thing to do is make a selection of what really needs to be included in it. So, let’s do a little review of the furniture that cannot be missing in your newborn’s room:
THE CRIB OR CRIB
Super essential! One of the elements that will play the most important role is, without a doubt, the crib. It will be the main purchase you will have to make, as it will become your baby’s place of refuge during his first 3 years.
Whether you opt for a 60×120 cot, a co-sleeping mini cot or a convertible cot, you will have to take into account that it meets minimum safety and comfort criteria that favor the baby’s rest.
THE CHANGING TABLE
You are going to change your baby’s diaper an average of 6 times a day. Multiplied by 365 days, in a year you will have done this task approximately 2,400 times. That is why you will need an ally by your side to make this task as comfortable and bearable as possible. You will need a changing table!
It is recommended to buy a removable one and use it on top of a dresser. You can even opt for a bathtub-changing table to put it in the bathroom (if it is large and allows it).
THE NURSING CHAIR
Apart from the crib and the changing table, a nursing chair will also be necessary to make the baby more comfortable.
Look for an armchair that is beautiful and timeless, so that later you can use it in any room of the house.
TIPS FOR DECORATING A SMALL BABY ROOM
Ok, perfect, we already have clear idea about what furniture we are going to need in a baby room. Now comes the most important. Something that usually worries us when we are going to furnish a room is the available space, especially in the baby’s room, which is usually the smallest.
It may seem that placing all the furniture in it is an impossible mission, however, there are several tricks that can help us solve space problems.
Space problems will multiply as the child grows, so it is very important that the room adapts to their growth rate. You have to take into account what kind of furniture and accessories can last longer.
1-What colors are the most suitable for a small baby room?
If the room is small, avoid using dark and strident colors on the walls, as they will eat up the light. According to color psychology, bright colors tend to overload the space and affect the baby’s mood.
Bet on neutral and light tones so that they provide tranquility and well-being. It even adds some color detail. White or lighter color furniture makes the space lighter and its timelessness makes it durable.
“We will recommend white color if the baby’s room is very small and does not receives natural light. This color makes the space larger, giving a greater feeling of spaciousness”
If you think that the room all in white can be bland, you can choose to place themed murals or wallpaper on one of the walls (for example, on the wall where the crib is). It is becoming very fashionable and rightly so!
2- Which crib should I choose to furnish a small baby room?
The shortage of meters is no longer a problem. Compact, evolutionary furniture with a large storage capacity are some of the keys to making the most of space. That’s right, you can make use of cribs that become beds with changing tables that evolve into desks…
When planning your baby’s room, think ahead. Ideally, look for functional and useful furniture that offers multiple solutions depending on the child’s age.
Versatile and evolving furniture will help you keep everything in order. Try to purchase convertible cribs. In the same compact piece of furniture you will have the crib and the dresser-changing table. In the market you will find various sizes and with different characteristics.
3-What is the best distribution to furnish a small baby room?
The layout of the furniture is a key factor to think about. We must define from the beginning where we will place the sleeping area, the play area, the personal care area and the storage area.
It is important that the crib has its own corner in the room. It does not necessarily have to be placed on the longest side parallel to the wall. It can be placed perpendicular. Ideally, the crib should be visible as soon as you enter the room. If possible, in front (in the case of more square and horizontal rooms). It will give a feeling of spaciousness. In the case of the narrowest and narrowest rooms, the crib should be at one end.
ORGANIZATION TIPS:
Everything you need (clothes, creams, diapers, etc.) must be at hand and in sight to locate everything at the first time. You can also purchase baby closet dividers from Yardie Baby to organize your baby’s closet. With these dividers, you can transform any closet area into a beautiful, functional space. This will eliminate time wasted shuffling around searching for your baby’s wardrobe.
You can also use decorative elements that at the same time act as storage. Such as, for example, shelves or storage boxes on the wall, colony baskets and even bags to store toys.
The ideal would be to create a play area in another room to avoid accumulation of toys and cluttering the space.
Less is more. It is better not to load the room too much and more if it is small.
Other features to consider when decorating a small baby room:
Do not abuse childish motives: Although children’s motifs can make the baby’s room a very nice and cute place, it is good to keep in mind that in a short time it will be obsolete as the baby grows.
