Setting up your baby’s nursery is not just about decorating it, or painting it in different colors. You might have heard of Feng Shui, which originated from China, and used for arranging and organizing the home to create a positive flow of energy. Have you ever thought of considering it for your baby’s nursery room? Good Feng Shui can make your baby feel happy, cozy, and healthy.
Some of the important factors to think about are room location, the crib’s position, wall colors, and furniture arrangement. The first thing you need to do is choose an appropriate area. Your baby’s bedroom should not face a noisy street. It should not be over a garage, or an empty space.
Don’t place the crib against a wall or window, or even in line with the bedroom’s door. It’s said to have a negative effect in terms of good sleep. Think of ways you can make the baby’s crib situated at the center of the room.
When it comes to decorating, keep in mind that soft and pastel tones are the best options for a nursery. Soothing color combinations help promote sleep. Avoid using black and white due to excessive contrast, as well as orange or red, since they could make the baby overstimulated.
Create a good, gentle energy and movement around the nursery. You can hang a mobile near the window to catch the soft breeze, and play some soft music in the room, your baby will love it. Open the windows regularly to clear out any bad air, and you can put on some light aromas, like lavender, rose, and vanilla, to help your baby sleep. Also, use natural light as much as possible. Don’t make the nursery too bright, or too dark.
Keep your baby’s nursery clean all the time, and avoid placing things under the crib. Keep your baby’s items in baskets or storage bins, rather than leaving them scattered around the room. You can also have some photos displayed, so your baby’s guardians would always look out for him or her.
Remember that a clean and clear space is equal to a peaceful room.
