Getting your baby girl’s nursery ready can be a bit overwhelming because there are just so many awesome options out there perfect for little girls. But if there’s one common theme every parent should try to achieve is for the room to be a cozy place where their daughters can feel calm and get a good night’s sleep.
Check out these eight cool ideas for a calming and cozy nursery for your baby girl.
1. Crib. You can’t have a nursery without this main item. While there are tons of crib options out there, getting a convertible one (like Baby Relax Edgemont 5-in-1 Convertible Crib, $299.00, Target) that your baby will be able to use for years to come since it eventually becomes a full size bed, is a great idea.
2. Bedding. The bedding you end up choosing for your baby’s crib will set the tone of the entire room. Look for an option that includes a fitted sheet, a crib skirt and a comforter (like the Crib Bedding Set Blushing Pink 3pc – Cloud Island™ Pink, 69.99, Target) that brings both a sweet and calming atmosphere to your little girl’s room.
3. Activity playmat. Tummy time is super important for babies because it helps strengthen their shoulder and neck muscles so they can sit up, crawl and eventually walk. Having your baby spend a good 20 minutes on her tummy on an activity playmat (like the Activity Playmat with Plush Borders – Cloud Island™ Pink Lemonade, $24.99, Target) is a great idea to keep her entertained while making her stronger!
4. Wallpaper. Add a fun design to the walls in your baby’s nursery without having to use paint. All you need is self-adhesive wallpaper (like the Peel & Stick Wallpaper Metallic Polka Dot Gold – Cloud Island™, $29.99, Target). The best part is that it’s as easy to install as it is to remove.
5. Curtains. Your baby’s nursery won’t be complete without blackout curtains (like Blackout Curtain Panel Rose Gold Dash – Cloud Island™ Rose Gold, $19.99, Target). This is the best way to make sure your little one doesn’t get up with the first rays of sun every morning.
6. Plush. All babies love having a comforting lovey and your little girl won’t resist getting attached to a cute plush toy (like the Plush Unicorn – Cloud Island™ – White/Pink, $14.99, Target). Just be sure you get more than one to avoid a meltdown if it gets lost.
7. Lamp. Brighten up your baby’s room with an accent lamp (like the Glass Table Lamp – Cloud Island™ Pink, $29.99, Target). It can go on the dresser or near the glider you’ll use to feed your baby or during storytime.
8. Unicorn bank. It’s never too early to start teaching your kids to save. While your baby won’t really understand the concept for a while, getting her started with a coin bank (like the Unicorn Decorative Coin Bank – Cloud Island™ – White, $14.99, Target) where you and other relatives can start dropping their change, is never a bad idea. Plus, it will look really cute in the nursery!
