Baby/parents room decorating??

My dad had an awful heart surgery last year, and since is not quite himself. My parents offered the idea of us moving in with them tohelp out, and my boyfriend could do household chores my dad can no longer do (like yard work, and fixing things), in return, they'll help us with the baby, which is our first, so we'll need it (she comes in July). There couldn't be a sweeter deal!!



Anyway, since all of my parents kids have moved out of their house, my parents gave us a bedroom with a "connected living room" (used to be just one big room) for us to work with.



It has periwinkle walls, and beige carpet.



Obviously, since it's my families home, our baby will have the whole house to run wild in. HOWEVER, since the baby will be sharing a room with us, I was still wondering how I can decorate this room to be calming and adult, but at the same time happy and childish.



Any ideas for either style would be so helpful :)!!

Baby/parents room decorating??
Hi

First congrats for your forthcoming kid. Take care of your self. I have few ideas for your and your baby's room decoration. Kids like colors like red, yellow and orange and other dark colors. You can buy cartoons wall hangings that you can paste on walls, radium stars and other shapes that will shine in the darkness. balloons and other decorations, and beautiful cot obviously that you will take, it should has a hanging with some sweet musics. Soft toys with music when your baby will wake up then starts to play with that. Buy toys with music that will be attractive for kids because in very small age they can listen only they can not grip it. Later you can buy so may toys for your kid.



Parents have a great deal with first kid because every thing will be new and you will be in learning process of how to look after properly to a newborn. You are lucky that you are sharing home with your mom and dad. They will guide you well for your new born. I wish that your dad get well soon and good Luck for Future.
Reply:Keep the walls light in color %26amp; use one corner of the room for your baby. Make this corner the furthest from the bedroom door %26amp; the traffic pattern. I'm assuming that you'll be purchasing a bassinette, crib, changing table right off the bat. Arrange the other furniture around the baby furniture. Purchase some cute little pictures to hang above her crib %26amp; over the dresser or changing table, but don't overdo it. Make sure the window(s) have drapes %26amp; mini blinds, so you can darken the room during the day, when she's napping. I'm sure you'll use the bassinette a lot until she grows out of it. Most are on wheels, so moving it to a different room during the day, if need be, will be easy for you. Select a cute matching baby style bedding ensemble for the bassy %26amp; the crib, etc. to give the room a cute %26amp; cozy nursery look. As for the rest of your furniture, keep it uncluttered but keep it colorful but not brash. Earth tones would look great for your bedding, etc. %26amp; won't clash with the baby's corner.
Reply:Use the section beside your baby's crib to decorate for your baby...then using the same color scheme-decorate your room. That way you both have a decor, it blends and looks great!

Congratulations on your baby!
Reply:use a light green shade for the walls. This way it looks clean, fresh, moden and it isn't to babyish. But it will also be an excellent nursery colour for any gender. In your section you can have an adult type setting and place alot of toys around the babys. You can also get baby bedding in greens to match. What about curtains to give the areas a more seperate feel? Hope this helps!
Reply:I was thinking maybe a happy yellow colour as it could be happy but calming and can be combined with wamer colours such as orange or white.



Or if you dont like yellow then why not blue as it has a very calming effect.



Hope everything goes ok :)
