Congratulations on your new arrival! After all the excitement of adding a new member to your family subsides, it’s time to start thinking about how you’re going to style the nursery. Creating a beautiful, functional space for your new baby doesn’t have to be expensive. With a little bit of creativity and some thrifty shopping, you can put together a gorgeous nursery room on a budget. Here are some tips to get you started.
Chose Your Colour Scheme Carefully
When it comes to nursery rooms, people usually either go with Gender-Neutral colours or they pick colours based on the gender of their child. If you know the gender of your child, you may be tempted to go all out with traditional “boy” or “girl” colours like blue and pink respectively. However, these colours can be quite limiting when it comes to future design choices. If you plan on having more children, you may not want to commit to one colour scheme. Instead, opt for a gender-neutral colour palette that can easily be changed up as your child grows. Some great gender-neutral colours for nurseries include mint green, grey, and cream.Furniture Matters:
When it comes to nursery furniture, most people immediately think of the crib. However, the crib is just one small part of the overall equation. You’ll also need to consider things like dressers, changing tables, and chairs. When possible, try to find furniture pieces that can do double duty. A dresser that doubles as a changing table, for example, will save you both money and space in the long run. When choosing furniture for your nursery, look for pieces that are both stylish and functional. It’s also important to make sure that the furniture you choose is durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of repeated use. Cheaply made furniture will only end up costing you more in the long run when pieces start breaking or falling apart prematurely. Finally, don’t forget about storage! When selecting furniture for your nursery room, look for pieces with built-in storage or that offer ample storage space so that you can keep all of your baby’s things organized and within reach.Think Outside the Box (and outside the Baby Store)
If you want to save money on nursery decor, don’t limit yourself to just checking out the baby section at your local department store. Instead, get creative and look for items that can serve double duty as both nursery decor and something else entirely. Wall decals are a great example; they can add both colour and interest to a wall without breaking the bank. Another great option is using fabric instead of traditional wallpaper; fabric is usually much cheaper than wallpaper and it can easily be removed when your child outgrows it or when you’re ready for a change. Get creative with how you shop for nursery room decor and you’ll be amazed at how much money you can save in the process!There’s no need to spend a fortune stylishly furnishing your new nursery room—with a little bit of creativity and some thrifty shopping choices, you can put together a gorgeous space on a budget! Start by carefully choosing your colour scheme then move on to selecting furniture pieces that are both stylish and functional. Finally, get creative with how you shop for decor items; thinking outside the box (and outside the baby store) will help you save money without sacrificing style.
