Building Your Dream Nursery For Your Child

When a parent-to-be dreams of a nursery, it’s not just about building a space. It’s all about creating a safe haven where babies can thrive and heartwarming memories can be created.

Every mama or papa has a vision of what their dream nursery looks like. From the colorway to the items that will fill the room, it’s all about creating a safe haven that would house the priceless memories of their bundle of joy’s first five years. The soft soothing melodies of their favorite lullaby from their stuffed toys fill the air as they fall asleep in their comfortable cribs under the stars projected onto the room’s ceiling until morning. Once the sun’s up, it’s back to the play gym to explore again! 

But where does one start in building their baby’s dream nursery? 

A nursery built for both rest and play

As parents welcome their newest member of the family and start the next chapter of their lives, the crib is where the story begins. With soft, organic linens that lull the baby to sleep, the crib’s sturdy guard rails and solid bed baseboard constructed from solid wood and painted from non-toxic paints provide parents peace of mind as it protects them from anything that goes in or out of the crib while they sleep and dream. But with living spaces and homes becoming smaller, parents look for cribs and playpens that can grow with their little ones for the next five years. After all, every parent knows — babies grow quickly. And sometimes, way too fast for their liking.

With that in mind, some parents prefer investing in a crib with a minimalist design while maximizing functionality. The Barnmöbler Hansel collection of cribs boasts up to five to six transformations, including a toddler bed that still maintains the solid guard rails should the little one be a restless sleeper. But, mobility is also an interesting feature for cribs to have — just like how Baby Company’s Wood Crib comes with its own wheels.

But nothing makes a baby fussier and crankier than poor-quality sleep. Yet, the cause isn’t easily found. Most parents would think it’s the temperature of the room or the clothes that the baby’s wearing. But it can be something as simple as the linens; babies, with their sensitive skin, can feel all sorts of prickly or tickling sensations that can disrupt their sleep. Keep their sleep uninterrupted with soft and high-quality linens made from certified organic fabrics like the Organic Snug Mystical Night Blanket or the Sleepery® Organic Bamboo Baby Crib 5 PC-Set or materials specifically formulated for babies like the Bloom 4-Piece 28×52 Adventure Zoo Cribset.

Although babies sleep most of the time, they still need a place where they can experience all the sensations the world has to offer. But with the house not completely baby-proofed yet, the playpen provides new parents with peace of mind and an uncluttered space. Some like the Looping All-in-One Pack and Play Co-Sleeper, Crib, and Playpen, or the Kinderkraft Sofi Travel Cot can fold away neatly once it’s time for bed. With soft but sturdy material to manage the baby’s physical boundaries, they also contain the mess caused by the many toys parents and relatives showered the little ones with. 

The toys, while some may feel they lose their appeal too quickly with babies, actually offer opportunities for developmental milestones. Stuffed toys like the Yookidoo Play-N-Nap Gymotion improve babies’ investigative motor skills, allowing them to discover muscular control when they grasp and wave things around. Others generate sounds like the Zazu Zoë the Penguin Sound Machine and the Alilo Classic Honey Bunny, speaking to them and creating the foundation for language development.

A hallmark for a new chapter and space for many memories

As babies grow into kids, they probably won’t recall the majority of these moments. But parents do; every morning they’ve played and every night they carried and soothed their babies as they cried out of discomfort will always remain a vivid memory in their memories. 

But like any built space, there will come a time when it’s time to move on and dismantle the nursery to accommodate new interests and opportunities. Nevertheless, the cribs, toys, playpens, and linens serve as mementos of that chapter in their lives. The one wherein they navigated through the many twists and turns of the parenting story before eventually being passed on as the essentials of another new baby’s safe haven and parents’ dream nursery.
