Shop the sales
Baby gear and nursery furniture are constantly going on sale. Start shopping early to catch the bargains!
Let functional items be the decorations
Buy great-looking items that serve a functional purpose rather than purchasing objects that serve only to decorate.
GroEggs let you see the temperature in your baby’s nursery at a glance and you can customize them with cute click-on shells.
A novelty nightlight can tie your nursery theme together and light your way during nighttime nursing sessions.
Look for ways to save on furniture
A change table top on a chest of drawers instead of a separate change table will also save room.
A comfy recliner, a good old-fashioned rocking chair, or a gym ball will serve just as well as an expensive glider chair. A crib that converts to a toddler bed will save you money down the line.

Wall stickers are much cheaper than paint
You can find wall stickers to suit any nursery theme, from basic shapes like stars, spots, clouds, and hearts to full-on jungle scenes!
The best part is that stickers are removable, making redecorating a breeze as your baby grows.
Bring your theme together with a novelty floor rug
A large floor rug in a solid bright color or a shape like a flower or a car can really brighten up your baby’s nursery.
A rug will tie the room together and is such an easy object to replace as your little one grows and their tastes inevitably change.
Tie odd furniture together with matching knobs
If you’ve been lucky enough to be gifted furniture from relatives or friends, replacing all the knobs to suit your theme can help make it all look like it belongs.
Brighten up the room with framed pictures and/or quotes
Add a pop of color and some positivity to your baby’s room with a framed print. Changing the picture every once in a while is great for your baby’s growing mind. (Etsy framed quote)
Keep it simple
If your key furniture items (crib, dresser, etc) are plain colors they can easily be used again for another child or even or elsewhere in the home. Better yet, they will be easy to sell when your little one grows up and wants a bunk bed!
