"OMG I'm having a baby!" is orginarily the first thought of a newly expecting mom.. Next is, "OMG what do I need to buy?" If you've recently had those two thoughts then you're absolutely reading the proper article!
If you understand the do's and don'ts of nursery furniture buying then your baby room decorating experience can be anxiety-free. Lucky for you, you're about to learn all you need to know, so you can select the right furnishings for your baby's room.
Nursery Furniture Buying Don'ts
* NEVER buy used nursery furniture, especially when it comes to the crib. You want to make sure that your baby is sleeping in a crib that meets all of today's US safety standards. It's also recommended to buy a new changing table, so it comes well balanced or with a tip restraint kit. You don't want your changer to be rickety while your wriggling baby is on top!
* NEVER purchase a nursery furniture set before you measure the room, so you know must measure what each piece of furniture fit in the room.
* Never buy without compiling a list in the first place. People here are a few things your way, crib mattress, changing table, dresser, bookshelf, baby bedding set, nursery lamps, gliders, baby monitors, safety gates and the toy box.
* NEVER buy furniture for your children in the last minute! You want the baby nursery set-up of at least one month before the expiry date, so that when the baby arrives, its spaceready.
Nursery Furniture Buying Do's
* ALWAYS purchase furniture from a well known and trusted brand, so you know you're getting quality nursery furnishings that are sure to keep your baby safe.
* ALWAYS make sure that the furniture you buy is finished with non-toxic paint or stain and meets all US safety standards.
* ALWAYS read reviews about the baby furniture you want to buy before making the final purchase.
* ALWAYS decide on a budget before you shop, so you know the price range that you can afford. Spending the most on the crib is recommended, since your baby will spend up to 16 hours a day snoozing.
* ALWAYS purchase a cozy glider or rocker, so you're as comfy as baby during every late night feeding.
* ALWAYS consider nursery lighting and search for nightlights (so you can peak in on baby), dimmer lights (for late night feedings), reading lights (for bedtime stories) and overhead light for more luminosity during playtime.
Final Thoughts
One final thing to take into consideration is the fact that your baby will soon grow into a toddler, then quickly into a tween and teen; so consider looking at nursery furniture that will grow in form and function to suit your growing child's needs for a lifetime. Take a look at convertible cribs, changing tables that double as a dresser, bookcases that will be equally as pretty in a nursery and teen's room and well-built furniture that will resist years of use.
