Layout
Firstly, have a look at the dimensions and other things of the room. Check where are the electric switches and cupboards in the room and the window’s direction. Once you have checked everything, you can decide where to place the baby’s items.
The theme of the room
Choosing the theme is also an integral part. Many parents go with a pink or blue theme but you can choose the theme according to your choice. Nowadays, cartoon themes, wildlife themes are also trending. But, make sure to select the theme that can be used for a longer time, which means your baby must not outgrow it in just a few years.

After the theme, it’s time to decide the paint color of the room and the flooring too. The flooring of your baby room must be soft like a soft rug or carpet. For lighting, the baby’s room should be well illuminated and controlled at the same time. At times, your baby needs light to observe the things around, and sometimes, she needs pith dark to have a sound sleep. So, make sure the lights can be controlled accordingly.
Furniture

You can also buy a play gym and treehouse later.
