How to Create a Cosy Children’s Nursery

A children’s nursery can be a really important room for your home - it’s a place where your child can feel comfortable, secure, and loved.

Part of the joy of creating a separate nursery space is decorating! Making the space as cosy and relaxing as possible is key to creating a healthy nurturing environment for your little one.

We’ve collated four easy steps to follow when you’re putting together a space for your child, whether that is a nursery space and their very first bedroom.

Lighting

Having the perfect lighting will contribute massively to the feel of your nursery. Ambient lighting can give a really pleasing warm glow to the room. Not only this, lighting can help your child feel safe and secure in bed when it’s night-time.

For example, the Hedgehog Night Light can be the perfect evening companion for your infant in their nursery, to make sure they’re feeling calm and cosy. It also comes with an automatic switch-off feature after 15 minutes so it is very hassle-free.

Good lighting also makes it easy to manage any late night wake-ups efficiently, helping create a peaceful evening feel within your nursery.

Storage

When caring for your infant, it’s a lifesaver to have the essentials (nappies, wipes, clean clothes) accessible. Therefore, effective storage is a necessity.

Storage solutions which also keep the space cosy may make use of wall space, such as hanging rails or wall shelves. It’s ideal to tuck belongings out of reach of your child, whilst also creating a decorative space. The fun Teddy Storage Basket also keeps mess neat and tidy, whilst adding cute decoration.

For less aesthetically pleasing items, which parents might rather have stashed away, within reach but out of sight, a storage bench could be a great solution to save space.

Stimulating

A nursery should be stimulating for your infant’s budding mind. A rich and interesting decor is great to keep your child engaged in their surroundings.

Interactive kinetic accessories such as this Wooden Mobile would be ideal at catching your little one’s attention, with its twinkling stars, fluffy clouds and pretty rainbows.

Creative

Why not make your nursery extra fun and creative with a cosy Teepee Tent for your infant to play in?

Allowing your child to unlock their creativity in their nursery will ensure that the space feels fun and is somewhere they enjoy spending time.

You can also add creative touches to your nursery in smaller ways. For example, a fun rug like Room To Grow’s Happy Sloth Chill Zone Rug brings a playful creative element to the room.

As your child gets older, this presents a great opportunity for them to continue decorating their space and express their developing personalities.
