Nurseries for Baby Girls – Frequently Asked Questions
When should I decorate my nursery?
Preparing the nursery in your home is a really fun job and can even be one of the most enjoyable times of your pregnancy. There are so many fun things to pick up along the way to adorn your nursery, but you might also be surprised how long some items will take to arrive and be ready to get into the room.
Start between 18-20 weeks to ensure you’re able to take pleasure in the process and not be stressed at the end. Now if you are already well past this already, we don’t want you to stress either! Check out this guide which will seriously speed up the process.
A lot of expecting parents prefer to wait to start on the nursery until they are out ofthe early miscarriage stage. It also makesthe most sense to wait until you havefound out what gender you are having.That’s why 18-20 weeks is the perfect timeto get started.
What should a baby nursery have?
In order to fully decorate your nursery, you’ll want to get the following items:
- Crib Mobile, Crib Skirt, Crib Sheets, Crib Rail Covers, and Decor for the Crib Wall
- Blackout Curtains, Curtain Rod
- Glider Throw Pillow, Glider Throw Blanket, Lamp or Nightlight for Next to Glider
- Area Rug, Decorative Wall Shelving or Book Shelves
- Decor/Artwork for Over the Changing Table/Dresser, Changing Table Topper, Laundry Basket
- Basket or Toy Box for Toy Storage
What furniture does a nursery need?
In addition to the nursery decor above, you’ll need the following nursery furniture pieces:
- Crib
- Glider or Rocking Chair and Ottoman
- End Table for Next to Glider
- Changing Table Dresser
We’ve published guides on the best affordable cribs, gliders, and changing table dressers.
How do you do a nursery on a budget?
One way to save is on your crib choice. All cribs for sale must meet the guidelines of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and come in a standard length & width. The greatest difference between cribs is style and price.
You don’t need to buy a crib from Pottery Barn Kids that costs between $700-$1,000. You can get a crib that’s both beautiful and well priced. The natural wood crib we used in my son’s nursery cost under $300 and I did NOT sacrifice on style.
Take my suggestion and save yourself hundreds of dollars on the crib. You’ll be glad you did the first morning you come in and find your little one has chewed up the crib rails. Which reminds me – DO NOT FORGET to put on crib rail covers! Now, I wrote a quick guide that you can check out with 9 of the most affordable and stylish cribs to save you some time.
Another way to save is on your changing table choice. It will get beat up over those first few years. You’ll be wiping poop off of it and it will likely get scratched on the top. If you have the budget, Pottery Barn Kids carries my favorite changing table dressers but they will cost you between $700-$1,200.
If your budget is limited, I suggest saving on a lower priced changing table dresser and using some of those savings towards some really unique decor you love. This campaign changing table dresser we own can be the functional piece of furniture you need and it only costs $300.
You can also save by spending less on your rug. A gorgeous, eye-catching rug is key to any stunning nursery, but thankfully there are stores like Rugs USA that have high-quality rugs at a verylow price. Chances are it’s going to get messed up over the years anyway.
The final spot you can save is with lower priced décor from stores like Target or Home Goods. You’ll switch out décormore frequently, so it makes sense not tomake a high investment on things youwill use for a short period of time.
What should you not buy for a newborn?
The number one thing I see new moms fall for is buying a nursery bedding set. A set includes a quilt and crib bumpers – neither of which you should use for a newborn. Both are against safe sleep guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
You won’t be giving your child a blanket that size until between 18-24 months old and by then the matching crib sheet will likely be worn out.
