With the buzz of an upcoming royal baby, we’re looking to nursery décor that is fit for all types of families.
Congratulations! So, you're having a baby, now what? There is no end of advice (welcome and unwelcome) when it comes to expectant parents - from books to cots, there is even baby humidifiers to consider. Kitting out your little one’s room is certainly one of the more enjoyable preparations but creating a happy and welcoming environment for your baby takes time and with so many options on offer your first question is an understandably where in the world do I start? You needn't spend a fortune either, many sets come with multifunctional pieces that can transform into another type of furniture as your child grows.
Retailers like Argos offer a wide range of baby nursery furniture at affordable prices that come in just about every wood finish you could imagine. Grey nursery furniture has been a rising trend in baby décor due to a growing preference for gender neutral interiors. Nursery furniture should be practical first and foremost, so it is worth asking yourself what you really need to make the space pleasing and easy to maintain. Once you've got the basics figured out you can set a budget for purely decorative items and go as big and bold or sweetly simple as you want.
What should you consider when designing your nursery?
There are lots of design routes that you can take with the space. For example, would you prefer pink and blue options? Or are you moving away from the traditional approach in favour of gender-neutral options that will also serve multiple children? Modern or vintage? Do you prefer natural wood accents or do neutral and versatile whites and greys suit your design aesthetic? Whatever your preference, there are a large variety of sets out there for every taste.
Why buy a furniture set?
Buying furniture in sets tends to be a more cost efficient way to design your nursery with bundles that are comprised of a cot – usually one that transforms into a junior bed – as well as a wardrobe and a dresser that doubles up as a changing unit. On top of price, these sets ensure every item is coordinated and matches as well as helping you gather everything you need in one fell swoop.
