Five Accessories to Transform Your Child’s Nursery
One of the main issues that few people would dispute in the infant industry is that it is very difficult to obtain inexpensive furniture for nurseries. Even the ‘basic’ products seem to arrive with hefty price tags and unfortunately, for a lot of parents, this means that several compromises have to be made with their child’s room.
However, while there are few methods in which to acquire brand new, fashionable furniture, there are at least tips which can transform the room from a characterless space to one that suddenly springs to life. Taking a look at the children’s bedroom furniture at Ollieandleila.co.uk can certainly help, with this company also manufacturing several accessories which can aid with the transformation of your nursery. Here, we take a look at all five types of accessories which can really make a difference to the room, without costing a fortune:
Cushions
This is an accessory that many nurseries will already have, with cushions known to inject style as well as general comfort into a room. It’s now possible to purchase large cushions which can merely be thrown in a pile on the floor and while this may sound like quite an untidy form of ‘decoration’, it provides a comfortable but fashionable sitting area for children and parents alike. Additionally, it also makes the need for specialist seating or sofas redundant, with the cushions providing more than sufficient comfort.
Soft Toys
It goes without saying that soft toys are another item that will be found in girls’ and boys’ rooms up and down the country. However, the storage of such items can make or break a room and many parents are now turning to shelves rather than the traditional method of throwing them in a box out of sight. This is a small alteration that again gives the nursery a bit of character and acts as a small reminder that it is a child’s room and not a completely sterile environment.
Mirrors
Perhaps less obvious accessories are mirrors. Any individual with an ounce of interest in interior design will tell you that a room is made bigger through the use of mirrors and this theory should again be adopted for a nursery. Of course, mirrors also bring their own source of stimulation and a baby will like nothing more than to admire him or herself at any opportunity.
Doorstops
Another more inventive way of bringing character to a room is a doorstop. Gone are the days where doorstops used to be basic bricks, but instead companies have adopted creative designs that make the items look like a simple toy or cushion lying around the room. For example, some are shaped like fruits, while others are cubes with various art sketched on.
Rugs
The final accessory our contribution is going to suggest is rugs. Again, they can be found in any room and are generally used to fill up floor space or to provide some form of welcome. In the case of a nursery, they should act as a crucial part of the room’s design – not least because a baby will spend most of his or her first year on the floor. Therefore, as well as attempting to co-ordinate your rug with the design of the rest of your nursery, also pay a lot of regard to the softness.
