First of all, the color scheme you choose for your nurseries needs to consist of a soft palette. Secondly, the actual colors need to be gender neutral. Of course if you already know the gender of your baby you can go for specific colors as well, but soft, neutral colors are always recommended as first choice. You can take your pick from pastels – powder blue, baby pink, mint green, lavender, etc.
2. Make a storage space

Babies come with a lot of literal baggage. They may be tiny, but the amount of stuff you’ll need to store in the nursery can be surprising. Therefore, you must have a spacious storage unit within the room to keep away all the toys, powder milk, packets of diapers, clothes, binkies and other small accessories out of sight. Only then can you maintain a clean room.
3. Feature the cot

The baby cot is, of course, the piece de resistance of a nursery. It doesn’t have to be very elaborate in design. Even a simple one can be used to enhance the beauty of the room while being functional. Make sure to keep lots of storage boxes and toys beside this cot, so you can easily reach all essentials while taking care of the baby.
