Every mother-to-be cannot wait to decorate her baby's nursery. Some women are born decorators, no matter the style of room, while others need a little advice to get them headed in the right direction. Good retailers should be able to help and know exactly what every mother needs in order to prepare for baby's entrance into the world. Follow along and you will be ready to decorate in no time!

Choosing the wall color is the first and most important step. You can go with pink, blue, stay gender neutral with colors like sage and yellow or mix it up with unique patterns or stripes, anything goes! Remember, you can always add accessories to personalize the room for the gender of the baby after it is born (more on that later!) A good baby store should have tons of variety when it comes to choosing furniture that coordinates the colors of the room. If you choose to find out the gender of your baby, there are eight different designer themed crib bedding collections that can be used for baby boys, like Blake's Nursery Collection and baby girls, like Taylor's Classic Nursery and the option to use the classic furniture collections that coordinate with any wall color and bedding that keeps the room gender neutral, like a Bumble Bee Nursery.

Next you will want to decide the locations of the nursery furniture. Keep in mind you will need separate areas for the crib, changing table, dresser(s) and rocker, along with space by the changing table for a laundry hamper and diaper genie. All of our changing tables come equipped with multiple drawers that allow plenty of space and functionality for all of those little on-the-ready products that must always be on hand when changing the baby.

While color choices, crib bedding, and furniture are a large portion of getting the baby's room ready, it is important to remember that the real way to add a personal and creative touch is to make the nursery a space that is not only inviting, but a peaceful place for baby to have sweet dreams (and a well rested nights sleep for mom and dad!) Find a store that has tons of precious accessories to make baby feel at home. Once you know the baby's name and gender, you can spell out their name in a wide variety of patterns and colors, using Lily Letters, Large Funky Letters or Black and White Vintage Letters. We also have beautiful wall art, picture frames, blankets, pillows, snuggle friends, nap pillows, and clothing that can all be customized for your own style and preference, not too mention designer diaper bags, like Fleurville and Petunia Pickle Bottom, to take any of these products on-the-go!

If you stick with these ideas and add a few of your own, you will be well on your way to creating the perfect nurturing environment where you will be able to bond with your baby and show off your decorating skills to all of your visitors!
