Designing your baby’s nursery is one of the most exciting parts of preparing for their arrival! To help you create a cosy, practical, and beautiful space, here are the must-haves every mum needs:
1. A Safe & Comfy Crib
Your baby’s crib is the heart of the nursery! Opt for a sturdy crib with a firm mattress and breathable sheets for a safe and snug sleep.

2. Changing Station with Storage
A dedicated changing area with a wipeable changing pad and plenty of storage for nappies, wipes, and creams makes those late-night changes much easier.
3. Soft, Ambient Lighting
A dimmable lamp or nightlight helps create a calming atmosphere for night feeds and diaper changes without disturbing your baby’s sleep.
4. Comfortable Nursing Chair
You’ll spend countless hours feeding and soothing your baby—choose a comfy rocking chair or glider with good back support.

5. Smart Storage Solutions
Baskets, shelves, and drawer organisers keep clothes, toys, and essentials neatly arranged, making it easy to find what you need.
6. Blackout Curtains
Help your baby sleep soundly at any time of day by blocking out light and creating a peaceful nap environment.
7. White Noise Machine
A gentle hum can help soothe your baby to sleep and block out household noises.
8. Soft, Washable Rugs
Perfect for tummy time and play, a soft rug adds warmth and comfort to the space.
9. Baby Monitor
Keep an eye (and ear) on your little one while they nap with a quality baby monitor.
10. Personal Touches
Framed prints, name signs, and cozy blankets make the nursery feel extra special and unique to your baby.

With these essentials, your nursery will be both functional and beautiful, creating a space where you and your little one can bond, rest, and grow together.
Happy nesting! 🍼✨
