How Lola already announced a few days ago, during this month of April we will have in Babies and More a special about baby room decoration. In it we will analyze point by point everything related to the bedroom of the new family member, from how to prepare it for its arrival, to how to adapt it as the child grows, so we want to start at the beginning and that is why today It is the turn of planning.
When we are going to decorate the room of a child that is going to be born, we have time to do it calmly, the nine months of pregnancy give a enough room to think and plan, see options, choose and materialize the room. Of course you have to go without haste but without pause, if we want everything to be ready at the time of birth, or preferably several days before so as not to have to hurry at the last minute.
Study the available space before starting to choose
Many times we see in a catalog or in a store a room that we like and we already want to take it home, it may be that it works out well, but in many cases it is a mistake. The procedure to choose the baby's room must be another, first we must see how much space do we have for the distribution of furniture, surface of the room and free walls, it is necessary to discount the closet if it is already built-in, doors and windows.
Even in small bedrooms you can get very good results but for this you have to optimize the use of space. For example, I am in favor of that in the children's room all the furniture is low, but sometimes that is not possible, if the room is small, and in that case the high areas will be used for storage.
We must think that it is not only a matter of getting the furniture to fit in the room, you also have to leave as much free space as possible, a baby's room should be visually light, to invite you to relax and also the child will grow and need space to play. The theme is to choose the necessary furniture well and take advantage of the floor, but also the walls.
Analyze what furniture we need in the room
When we go to choose a piece of furniture we must be clear what are we going to use it for, especially in the case of storage furniture, with cribs and changing tables there is usually no fault, but when we buy furniture to store things, we must first think about what we are going to store in them, to know what type of furniture we are interested in , with doors and shelves, open, with drawers ... Depending on what we want to keep in it the furniture should be different and the place where we place it too.
In addition, the versatility of the furniture is essential in a baby's room. For better and worse, children grow very fast and if the furniture we have chosen is not versatile, it will become obsolete in a very short time. In that sense it is a great option for convertible furniture, which grow with the child, of which we will talk long and hard later in this special.
It is useless to buy a very nice furniture, but that is not useful, the functionality does not have to be at odds with the design, but it is the first thing we should look at, in addition Most furniture today is customizable, as far as shape, size and distribution of compartments are concerned. That is also why it is necessary to start choosing with time, in order to order custom furniture that best suits our needs.
Make several distribution and color tests before choosing
Before choosing, buying and starting to place, you have to make several tests of how we want the distribution to be and what the colors will be, in that sense the virtual decorators can be of great help. In many stores they offer us the possibility of a decorator or interior designer making us several proposals for distribution on the planeThere are also online decorators with whom we can test ourselves.
The first thing we should place is the crib, which is undoubtedly the main protagonist of the bedroom, looking for an ideal orientation in terms of comfort to access it and the lighting it receives, then the changing table and the closet, if it is not embedded in the room and then the rest of accessories. If the floor is not enough to place everything, as I said before, we can take advantage of the wall for storage modules.
Once we are clear about what we want to buy and how we are going to place it, it is time to order the furniture and prepare the floor and walls of the room while we wait for its arrival, it is not good to rush, it is better to have everything decided before materializing. It will be precisely the choice of colors and of the floor and wall options what we will tell you in detail in the next installments of our baby room decoration special.
