This project should be stared during some stage of the pregnancy. You can begin by purchasing and deciding on the theme and color scheme for the nursery. This is where the gender factor come in handy and choose a theme based on the sex of your baby. This can be a bit challenging for people who do not know the sex of the baby until its born.

If the new born will be sharing the room with older siblings of the opposite sex, you may consider subdividing the room into clear demarcated zones. Moreover, think about how long it will take to redecorate the room and whether you want the room to last the baby through toddlerhood and beyond. If that is the case, you will need to go for less baby specific themes and opt for scheme based decors like alphabets, bright-colored animals and fairytale forest themes.

Deciding the main elements of décor can be tricky especially when one is trying to balance between aesthetics and practicality. Below are tips that can help you to achieve that end.

To provide a soft underfoot touch and to buffer noise use carpets. In a case you use rags on the floor make sure you stick them tightly for movement purposes.

Decorate the walls with wall art and coverings to add color. You can use frames family photos in matching frames. Balloon art is a also a neutral wall art theme for either gender. Use bright paint and be sure to use wipe clean paint for unnecessary murals that the growing up baby may treat you to. Wall murals and decals should be built with stickers since they can easily transform a space cheaply and can always be removed when not needed.

Choose furniture that is both functional and practical. You can use a crib that can later on be converted into a baby bed to save money. Invest in multipurpose furniture like armories and bookshelves that can hold toys, clothing and bedding. This will also help you to maximize on storage space and keep the room looking forever tidy and pretty.
