The post 3 Things to Think About for Your Baby’s Nursery appeared first on parentztalk.com.
]]>Safety First
Start by choosing a crib that meets current safety standards, including slats that are no more than 2 3/8 inches apart and a firm, well-fitting mattress. Additionally, make sure that changing tables are stable and equipped with safety straps. And don’t forget to plug electrical outlets and secure heavy furniture to the wall. A safe nursery is a peaceful nursery, both for the baby and the parents.
Functional Design
While it’s tempting to focus on the aesthetic elements of the nursery, functionality is key. Make sure you have shelves, drawers, and baskets to keep essentials within reach but out of the baby’s way. These little details will make your life easier down the line.
Comfort and Calm
Your baby’s nursery should be a soothing sanctuary that promotes sleep and calmness. Opt for soft, muted colors on the walls. You may also want to invest in a comfortable chair for feeding or rocking your baby.

]]>Switching Furniture
Switching major furniture pieces is the biggest change you’ll have to make after your kid outgrows their crib. You’ll have to find a comfortable bed that fits your kid’s current age and needs, in addition to buying a desk and potentially investing in some new storage solutions.
Take it Slow
Switching from a nursery to a “big kids’ room” will be a huge change for your child, so don’t rush it. Keep some of the décor elements around so the room still looks familiar to your child. If they’re struggling to sleep in a new bed, keep the crib around for reassurance until they’re ready to leave it behind.
Get Your Child Involved
Your kid will have an easier time getting used to their new room if they have a say when you’re redecorating it. They’ll have a sense of ownership over their new space if you let them pick a theme or color scheme and consult them before buying new furniture.

Palmer recently took to Instagram to share a video from her son’s light blue nursery, filled with a dark wooden crib with a matching bookshelf and side table, a white reading chair, and a stuffed giraffe, surrounded by animals painted on the walls.
“Just gotta shout out West Elm Kids for this incredible nursery they created for my little one, Leo. Seriously, it’s a whole vibe! Leo absolutely adores it, and let me tell you, it’s not just a room; it’s a haven of happiness and love. Major gratitude to West Elm Kids for making our space so special!” wrote Palmer on social media.

]]>The post Best Ways to Put a Gender-Neutral Twist on Your Nursery appeared first on parentztalk.com.
]]>Right Colors
The best way to keep your nursery gender-neutral is to avoid stereotypical colors, such as pink and blue. Opt for a neutral color palette, involving white, beige, and gray, and consider adding some earthy tones to the mix.
Themed-Décor
Themed rooms are popular with kids of all ages, but should you go down this road with your nursery? If you decide to do so, it’s usually the best idea to stick to nature-inspired décor, themed around animals and plants.
Furniture Choice
When picking furniture for your nursery, go with neutral and timeless pieces. In addition to making your nursery gender-neutral, furniture with clean lines and neutral finishes can seamlessly blend into the room as your child grows.
Pops of Color
Making a gender-neutral nursery doesn’t necessarily mean you should fully embrace the “sad beige” trend. Feel free to add a pop of color to the room by playing with patterns and textures, and consider adding some personalized wall art to the mix.

]]>Start with a Solid Plan
Before you begin decorating, sketch out a plan for the nursery. This will help you avoid impulse purchases and stay on track with your budget. Decide on a color scheme, theme, and layout. Knowing what you want will make it easier to find budget-friendly alternatives.
Thrift Store Treasures
Thrift stores and secondhand shops are goldmines for budget-conscious parents. You can find gently used cribs, changing tables, and rockers at a fraction of the cost of new items. Just make sure they meet safety standards and give them a thorough cleaning before use.
DIY Wall Art
Get your creative juices flowing and make your own wall art. You don’t need to be a professional artist to create something special for your baby’s nursery. Frame cute baby animal prints, paint a mural, or create a collage of family photos. Handmade art adds a personal touch and saves on the cost of expensive artwork.
Repurpose and Upcycle
Before you toss out that old dresser or bookshelf, consider giving it a new life in the nursery. A fresh coat of paint or some decorative knobs can transform an old piece of furniture into a charming nursery item. Get creative and repurpose items from other rooms or pick up used furniture for a DIY project.
Ask for Help
Don’t hesitate to enlist the help of friends and family. They might have items they’re willing to contribute, offer their creative skills, or help with DIY projects. Decorating the nursery can be a fun and collaborative experience.

]]>The 34-year-old actress gave birth to her daughter Louetta Isley Thomas Willis back in April, and the design of her room was largely inspired by Willis’ decision to have a home birth.
“It was really important to me to try and have her nursery […] dialed in in a way that felt like, ‘Okay, I’m not going to the hospital.’ I’m going to be here, and this is the space that I’m bringing my daughter into the world, so I want everything to feel really safe and calm for me,” she told Architectural Digest.
In terms of the design, she wanted the nursery to have a “Wes Anderson by way of Havana” vibe and include a little bit of whimsy without being too girly. The rest of Willis’ house mostly features neutral tones, but she wanted to nursery to have a lot of color and be more offbeat.
Willis’ sister Tallulah helped her bring the nursery to life by drawing artwork for a collage wall which also includes photos from Willis’ baby shower. When it comes to small details, her favorite is definitely a tiny guitar that Louetta’s dad Derek Richard Thomas brought home from a tour.

]]>The post Couple on TikTok Goes Viral After Creating Gothic Nursery for Their Children appeared first on parentztalk.com.
]]>Rogina is the mastermind behind the TikTok page E.V. Dreadful, and she took this social media platform by storm with her gothic-themed content. One of her latest videos showed her decorating a nursery for her 11-week-old babies with Ventura, which includes everything from gray walls and black furniture to ghost-shaped pillows and horror-inspired decorations.
The couple’s nursery was met with an overwhelmingly positive response, but some people felt that they were “pushing the gothic agenda” by decorating it this way. The couple believes there’s not much difference between other themed nurseries in bright colors and their own, and they simply wanted to use this room to show their kids who they are until they’re old enough to redecorate it on their own.
“Right now, it’s for us. The nursery is nice, it’s beautiful, it’s calming. But one day, the babies are going to have an opinion. And I’m going to go with it and support whatever it is that they want to do. That’s what a parent’s job is,” Rogina told Insider.

]]>Lohan joined forces with furniture company Nestig to design her own nursery, and the final result is so fetch! The room has white and blue accents and it’s adorned by a beautiful ocean mural, while the furniture is handmade and inspired by the beach.
In an interview with Architectural Digest, Lohan explained she opted for this team because she feels peaceful by the ocean and she wanted to create a space where she could share that feeling with her little one.
“The planes and the sailboat felt so instantly classic, but the almost-rainbow watercolor effect felt really fresh and unexpected. It warms the space so much and I can’t wait to point out all the cute little elements to my babe,” explained the actress.
Lindsay Lohan is currently expecting her first child with her husband Bader Shammas. She announced her pregnancy back in March and hosted a baby shower for family and friends one month later in her native New York, even though they currently reside in Dubai.

]]>Easy Access
A nursery should ideally be located in close proximity to your bedroom so you can easily check in your toddler, but it comes in handy to have easy access to the kitchen or bathroom.
(@thehardwickhouse)Outside Factors
Your baby will need a lot of natural light to thrive, so opt for a room with big windows and good ventilation. Your baby will need some peace and quiet to sleep soundly, so avoid opting for a room located near high-traffic areas.
Safety First
It’s also important to babyproof your nursery by making sure there are no safety hazards in sight, ranging from sharp corners to exposed cords and outlets.
Perfect Size
Even if the space in your house is limited, don’t go with a room that feels cramped or cluttered, and make sure there’s enough space inside to fit all the furniture and other baby items.
Future Plans
You also shouldn’t go with a room that’s too small because you’ll most likely transform a nursery into a kids’ bedroom down the road, so opt for a room that’s easily adaptable.
