Kids grow so fast and ever an overcharging bedroom décor can get a bit expensive. And trust me, your not going to want to wall paper your babies room every few years as their likes and dislikes change. Having that said what can a parent do to tackle this problem? Thinking ahead can provide years of savings when planning a baby nursery or kids room.
Easy Nursery/Kids Room Decorating Tips:
Furniture. Toys come and go but the most expensive fixture of any child’s room is the furniture. When choosing furniture think about the long term. Most nursery furniture gets used rarely as babies don’t sleep in their own room for some time after coming home and even then it wont take the type of beating a toddler could put to it. Think about how each piece of furniture will adapt as your child grows larger. Avoiding furniture that has baby prints or in pastel colors is a good choice. Simple whites, blacks, or bold colors work best for keeping a current style. Now days you can even buy a crib like the StorkCraft Tuscany Crib which changes from crib, to toddler bed, to day bed, to twin bed.

Wall color. Keeping your walls white is going to be troublesome as your child gets older. Choosing a nice washable paint in neutral or bold color will help keep the style current in your nursery. If you haven’t heard, wallpaper is out. The new way to decorate is using vinyl wall decals. Not only do they look super chic you can easily change them out as your child grows into their personality. If you have never used vinyl wall decals don’t worry. They are easier to put up than wall paper. Total prep and application time for an even large decal is less than an hour. I also love how you can personalize these vinyl wall decals.
Flooring. For those of you who have hardwood floors in your nursery you will want to think about picking up an area rug. As babies learn to walk they don’t have best of balance and slipping and sliding on hardwood floors can be dangerous. Even if you have carpet I recommend garbing up a large area rug to protect your carpet. Area rugs can be expensive but you don’t have to spend a ton to get something nice and will save you a ton of money latter by not having to recarepet your nursery. Choose a rug with a neutral style and colors. By keeping away from the rooms main fixtures will ensure you get the most use out of your purchases.
Keep in mind that you can always take your old baby furniture, clothing, fixtures, rugs, and other nicknacks to a resale shop or mommy trade show and trade them up for something more age appropriate but simple planing can remove all that hassle.
