Nursery Room Ideas

For first time Mums there is an ever increasing importance on the design of the nursery and getting it absolutely right.  New Mums look at no end of baby nursery ideas to try and get inspiration for their little ones room. 
 
Perhaps it is the fact that when it comes to a baby, budgets do not seem to matter, every Mum and Dad wants the absolute best for their unborn child and therefore there is a sense of excitement having the freedom to create and decorate a room with no restraints!
Pinterest is a great source of inspiration for nursery room ideas.  We have found some fantastic nursery ideas to suit a variety of tastes.
For a modern nursery feel we love the use of the charcoal grey walls and modern grey cot sat back with the injection of bold, bright colours.  The brightly coloured blanket and cot mobile are really eye catching and are sure to excite your little one.  This nursery room idea is perfect for both boys and girls and works well in a small room.
 
 
For a more French inspired look we love the use of traditional white nursery furniture coupled with sophisticated furnishings.  The cot canopy and chandelier add glamour and opulence to the nursery.  The nursery chair and white wash floorboards finish off any baby nursery to give it that French style and elegance. Many parents to be like to design the nursery in keeping with the furniture in the rest of the home. 
 
Also, babies and toddler rooms are often filled with story books and more often than not they are stacked piled high at the end of the bed or jumbled up on a shelf.  We love this storage idea below using the whole wall to display the story books.  Not only does it add colour to the room but little ones will love reading so much more, enjoying the excitement of choosing their story from the front cover each night.
 
 
Finally, Allison and Ann (my twin girls) would love this baby girl's nursery.  The canopy gives this nursery room idea a real princess feeling.  The Jemima Puddle duck wallpaper gives it a more traditional feel and little ones will love the ride on rocking sheep.'

choosing nursery furniture

Having a baby is such an exciting time, but it is a long 9 months waiting for your little bundle of joy to arrive.  In that time however there is lots to prepare - baby names, baby groups, work and most importantly the nursery !  Looking for your dream nursery suddenly makes everything seem a lot more real.  I waited until the last possible minute before buying cot beds and changer for my twin girls (I wish I'd launched this blog/website before!), because there are lots of choices out there so a bit of preparation will hopefully make the decisions a bit easier! Firstly, there is the decision as to whether or not to buy a moses basket.  I did not buy one firstly because I felt a cot bed and a moses basket in the same space was going to cloak the nursery and would not have fitted well and I felt that my new born babies would outgrow it fast! Don't get me wrong, a moses basket is great as it is portable and can be used in your own bedroom during the night, and then dow

Practical ideas on how to make the most of a small nursery

When your nursery has limited space, keep in mind that less is more. Trying to cram in too much furniture can make the room impractical and create a claustrophobic environment. Here are some practical ideas for a small nursery. Think tall, not wide Make use of the height of the room, using tall rather than wide furniture. Slim, tall, one-door wardrobes are available, and some have shelves all the way up. For safety, secure tall furniture to the wall with a bracket or two. Since baby clothes are small, you can install another one or two hanging rails further down in the wardrobe. You can then hang up more clothes. Put shoe racks, storage boxes or a set of drawers at the bottom of the wardrobe to take advantage of the space. If you have space above the wardrobe, tall plastic drawers or baskets can be placed on top. Multifunctional furniture Multifunctional furniture can save space and money. Try changing units with drawers or shelves underneath or those with longer legs that

Quality Mattress equals happy baby

Finding the best mattress for your baby can be hard work. In fact, there are so many styles, makes and models of mattresses but one of the easiest ways to begin is to decide what size of mattress you should get for your baby and the type. It has been reported that latex mattresses tend to be springier and durable for a baby bed. I was recently asked what kind of mattress is available at custardandmustardcraft and I immediately said "the mattress best for your baby", generally assuming that the client is aware of the different types of baby mattresses. That should not have been my answer, hence the need to blog about it and provide more insight to the kind of mattress best for your baby.   It is common for parents to pay more attention to a child’s bed frame, comforters, and bed sheets than to the mattress. This is unfortunate because there is probably no item in a child’s bedroom that is more important to a baby's health than the mattress. Children sleep longer and d
