Baby room design
How to design a baby room? Welcome Baby…
Your baby who will say hello to the world is the most important value you have. So much so that everything for this valuable guest is prepared months in advance according to the gender of the baby. Clothes are placed in the wardrobe in pink if it is a girl and blue if it is a boy.
However, another point that is as important as the clothes is the design of the baby's room, which is the baby's living space. Parents who want to prepare a beautiful room for the baby should prioritize safety over aesthetics. Considering that the little naughty one will grow up quickly, we recommend that you take the precautions below now.
1- Choose non-slip parquet
You are thinking about matching the color of the parquet with the furniture. Yes, the color is important, but in addition to matching, it should not be slippery. Otherwise, your baby, who starts sitting after 6 months and crawling in 7-8 months, may slip and fall. You have 2 safe options for flooring: Cork and wooden flooring. Since cork is soft, you may not put a carpet. If you are going to prefer flooring such as wood or parquet, you can prevent its hardness by putting a carpet.
2- Lines should be round
A baby needs a lot of furniture, almost like an adult. But don't worry! You can find beautiful and colorful furniture in stores. Sometimes you can create a car racer's room, sometimes a sailor's room. All that remains is to choose according to your taste and the size of your room. But let's remind you right away; prefer wooden furniture. What are the keys and tips for decorating a baby room? While metal looks cold, it can rust and fall off in the future, and your baby can bump into it. Also, the lines of the furniture need to be round. Sharp corners mean that the baby is in frequent danger of bumping into it.
3- Put things in the right place
Do not place your baby's bed next to a window. Windows cause the baby to be adversely affected by cold and heat. There is a greater risk; your rapidly growing baby may climb up to the window and try to open it. Curtains next to the window are also a risk. Your baby may want to suck on these curtains or their tassels. This means a risk of suffocation. There should be no bed under the window, nor should there be a dresser or toy box that the baby can climb on.
Make sure to mount the wardrobes on the wall. And do not place items such as suitcases or bags on top of them that may fall. They may fall during any shaking.
When buying furniture, you should pay attention to its drawers.
The drawer rail system should be able to close slowly and automatically, which can prevent your hand from getting stuck in the future. You should also make sure that the drawer or wardrobe handles are not easily removable or breakable.
4- Healthy paint should be used
When choosing the paint for the room, choose the ones that do not contain bacteria and are water-based. If you are going to use wallpaper, you should buy the ones that can be wiped clean. Be careful to choose healthy paint. Let us state that furniture paints are important. Because babies enjoy licking and biting the crib. Carcinogenic and anti-allergic paints should be used in furniture.
5- Take precautions in bed
The bed is the most used item by the baby. It is very important that it is safe. The bed should have rails that will prevent the baby from falling. If the rails are foldable, you can use the long version when your baby grows up.
The distance between the bars should be about 10 cm. These spaces, which are neither too long nor too short for the baby, prevent the naughty one from getting stuck while trying to get his hands and arms in. There should definitely be a safety latch on the bars. In this way, you can be sure that the baby will not fall out when you close the latch.
The mattress should be compatible with the bed frame, meaning there should be no gaps on the sides when the mattress is placed. Otherwise, your baby may get stuck in this gap. The bed covers should not have any decorations that can be absorbed, such as beads or tassels.
