Tips & tricks to successfully decorate a small nursery

Is space in your nursery limited? Don't worry, there are plenty of ways to transform even the smallest spaces into a wonderful sleeping haven for your little one. With the help of our handy tips & tricks, you can successfully decorate your small nursery. 

Tip 1: work with light colors

Light colors on the walls and furniture create a sense of space and make a small nursery appear larger. Moreover, colors like white, gray, and beige create a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Exactly what you want in a nursery! Could your room use a bit of a boost? Then you can choose to work with different materials within the neutral color palette. This creates beautiful contrasts without making the nursery feel too cluttered.  

With bedding, accessories, wall decor, and a rug, you can add beautiful accents to the nursery. Soft shades like pink, light blue, ochre yellow, and green are very on-trend and work very well in a neutral interior! 

Tip 2: Choose practical and space-saving furniture

The nursery furniture forms the foundation. The most important functions these pieces of furniture should fulfill are: providing a safe sleeping space, space for changing and dressing, and storage for the items you need to care for your little one. To successfully fulfill these functions, you'll need at least a crib or bassinet and a dresser.  

You can choose a matching crib and dresser set, mix and match, or go for a combination crib! A combination crib is a crib, dresser, and wardrobe all in one. Ideal for a small nursery!  

This handy piece of baby furniture offers the same convenience as a complete nursery without taking up too much space. Often, the combination crib is equipped with a large drawer under the bed and a wardrobe under the connected dresser top. This allows you to maintain sufficient walking space in the room and optimally utilize all the storage options. 

Tip 3: Take advantage of the nursery's height

Making smart use of space is key to successfully furnishing a small nursery. You can make the most of the height by choosing a narrow, tall cabinet or a stylish wall shelf to store your favorite baby items.
