Having a girl in the family really gives a new meaning to having a baby. They’re so cute and very gentle as babies that it’s no wonder they can wrap their little fingers around the fathers of the home and give mums that extra flush of happiness for having a future forever best friend.
Creating the place where they can thrive, grow, and rest from the first years is important for their full development and of course, for the people providing primary care for the baby. Here are some ideas to make the perfect modern nursery for a baby girl from home renovations redlands consultants:
1. Hold off on the pink.
Just because the baby is a girl does not mean that the room should explode in bright pink. As a shade, it works but there are ways to update it and make it even more comfortable to stay in. If you insist on pink, explore other shades such as coral, salmon, lemonade (yep, it’s not yellow!), peach, and rose. These shades provide several textures to the room instead of one-dimensional wall paint. Remember, you would want the room to stand at least eleven years before the baby hits twelve or at least before she becomes able to express her opinion on the design of her room.
Also, the pinks can be delegated in several ways. You can use it on the accents such as the colour of the throws, the lampshades, or the knobs and outlets. It can also be the main colour for the artworks on the walls or the shade of the tables. And then from there, incorporate other shades such as dove grey or gold to make the room look even homier but not screaming pink.
2. Invest in good linens and high quality furniture
Instead of hoarding many pieces of furniture and linens, invest instead in a few really good ones that will stand the test of time in terms of quality and design. A nursing chair with a fantastic upholstery can be a great piece in the room while some thick, high thread linens on the beds and crib that can be practically used by the child and the home forever is a smart move.
If you can, opt to be more modular also in the pieces so it’s easy to move them around when the need arises for a bigger play area or a study nook when the baby starts going to big school.
3. Place a feeding nook and bathroom inside the nursery
Most nurseries are only designed for sleeping or nursing. For convenience especially to the mother who may nurse in ungodly hours in the early mornings, placing a mini kitchen where nursing food is near and some refreshments can help them cope up with the demands of feeding a newborn. It is also much safer to have a bathroom nearby so the guardian need not leave the room for a long period of time when they need to.
