How to Future-Proof Your Baby’s Nursery

Having a well-equipped nursery ready in time for your baby to arrive is crucial to making light work of certain tasks. However, you’ll find that your child will outgrow this room a lot sooner than you think. In just a year or two, there are furnishings in there that you won’t need and will want to replace to accommodate your child’s changing needs.

 

 

Fortunately, transitioning your baby’s nursery into a room fit for a toddler is easy with a bit of pre-planning. Here are a few ideas you may want to consider:

 

Invest in convertible furniture
A crib or cot is, by far, going to be the most significant investment you’ll have to make when furnishing a nursery. However, your little one will outgrow it a lot sooner than you think.

 

An easy way to make that investment last is to invest in convertible furniture. A lot of cribs nowadays are 3-in-1 or even 4-in-1 cribs: the 3-in-1 Babyletto Hudson convertible crib is one such option. It can easily be converted to a toddler bed and a daybed, adapting to your growing child’s needs. It also comes in a versatile mid-century design that goes well in any modern nursery or child’s room.

Paint in timeless colors
It’s always tempting to decorate your child’s room in whimsical colors. Keeping to a theme you love will definitely make it easier and more enjoyable for you to stay in that room for long periods of time, too. However, if the idea is for your child to have the same bedroom throughout their young life, then keeping to a neutral color palette is the best choice.

 

Neutral colors such as white, cream, and gray are easier to work with when it’s time to redecorate. You’ll have a blank canvas of sorts that you can then accentuate with other colors as your child grows and develops preferences of their own. They also tend to be more soothing and pleasant to the eye. If you want to keep the room from looking too bare or drab, you can employ stick and peel wallpaper or wall stickers to add fanciful touches.

 

Choose dual-purpose storage solutions
Most people will tell you that a changing table is a necessity in a nursery room, and it is. You’ll want a safe place for changing your baby that also offers plenty of space for all of the items you need to perform the task. However, you won’t have much use for it when your child grows out of diapers and starts potty training.

 

Instead, consider looking into a low storage unit, such as a dresser, that you can place a changing pad on top of. That dresser will then have all the space you need to accommodate your child’s growing collection of clothes as they get older.
