Baby's Room

Once the walls are painted, it is time to make the fairies and farm animals come alive with some wall paintings and fixtures such as photo frames and posters.

If you are artistic yourself, or have a young one who is excited about the baby's arrival, get them involved in painting a welcome picture for the infant on a blank canvas (available at any stationery). The ceiling provides a great opportunity to stimulate the baby's imagination because it is going to be the most visible surface for the baby.

If it balances the colour scheme of the room, go for a ceiling pattern of clouds or the night time sky. This will add an original touch to the décor.

A word of caution though: It can be tempting to go all out wild with a single theme, but the key to creating the perfect nursery is striking a balance between a delightful décor and functional versatility. You don't have to worry about the odour of paint being harmful for you or the baby, Lady Essentials by Jotun Paints is with you in welcoming the new born home!
