How to set up a nursery for girls

The nursery is an important place where you and your baby will spend a lot of time together. Whether it's changing nappies, breastfeeding, cuddling, reading aloud or falling asleep. But how do you design the perfect nursery for girls? 

Don't worry, we have the answer! Here are four unbeatable tips to help you design the ideal nursery for your little girl. 🤩 ✨

Beautiful things for your baby girl's room

1. Choosing the right furniture 

It is particularly important to make clever use of the limited space in a baby's room. This calls for smart storage solutions that keep your little girl's baby things within easy reach while still saving space. As big fans of Swedish furniture, we can highly recommend the baby collections from IKEA! There you will find stylish Scandinavian baby furniture at fair prices and smart storage solutions. 

You'll need this furniture in the nursery

1. : cot For sweet dreams and a restful sleep when your little girl is ready to slumber in her own bed. 
2. : changing table Here you can store all the important baby essentials such as nappies, creams and wipes within easy reach – ideal for quick and effortless nappy changes! And there will be plenty of those, especially in the first few months.
   Practical: many IKEA chests of drawers can easily be converted into a changing table with a matching changing table topper. When your little girl has outgrown nappies, you can remove the attachment and use the chest of drawers as storage space for clothes and other items. Practical, isn't it? 
3. : nursing chair A place where parents and children can feel at home. Here you can comfortably breastfeed your little daughter or enjoy cuddling time with her. 
4. : wardrobe This is where all your little princess's clothes, such as bodysuits, jackets and cute dresses, can be stored. This means less stress when getting dressed and a tidy nursery at all times.
   

2. Choosing the right colour 

The choice of colours plays a decisive role in decorating a baby girl's room. Traditionally, pastel shades such as pink and lavender are often preferred for girls. This is understandable, as pastel colours are often associated with calm, serenity and harmony and, according to colour psychology, are said to have a soothing and relaxing effect on the baby's psyche.

However, it is worth thinking outside the box. Other colours can also create a beautiful atmosphere in a baby's room for girls. For example, what do you think of soft green tones, delicate yellow tones or a soothing grey tone?

But before you pick up your paintbrushes to paint the walls of the baby's room, get a little inspiration. Flip through magazines or search the internet for great ideas for the nursery. When making your final decision, also consider the colours and patterns that already exist in other rooms of your home to create a harmonious transition between the individual rooms. 

Ultimately, the most important thing is to choose a colour palette that will bring a smile to your face and your little girl's!

Our tip: order colour samples to see how the colours look in natural light and in the overall context of the room.

There are many possible colour combinations for a baby girl's room. Soft, subtle colours are currently in vogue. A popular example is the combination of beige and pink in a baby girl's room. Neutral colours are also popular for decorating girls' rooms. For example, you could decorate your baby girl's room in mint green, add accents of mustard yellow or combine grey tones with soft pastel colours.

3. Cute wall design 

Don't feel like painting the nursery before your baby arrives? No problem! Avoid the stress and opt for the simple solution: wall films.

With child-friendly motifs such as cute clouds, sparkling stars or adorable houses, they conjure up a magical atmosphere in the nursery in no time at all. An atmosphere that will delight not only you, but also your little girl!

At Limmaland, you'll find wall stickers in all colours and shapes that are easy to apply and just as easy to remove without leaving any marks. This means you can redesign your baby girl's room at any time – according to the changing needs and preferences of your little daughter.

4. Cute nursery decorations 

And what's the best way to do that? With fluffy cuddly toys, a cosy rug, soft cushions and blankets to snuggle up in, and soft, dimmed lighting that creates a cosy atmosphere in the room. 

Add playful accents with cute wall stickers or hanging mobiles above the cot so that your little girl always has something exciting to discover. But remember: in the nursery, the motto is "less is more", as too many colours and patterns can quickly overwhelm your baby. 

To keep the baby girl's room tidy without losing any of its charm, pretty baskets and boxes are a great option. You can decorate the IKEA TROFAST boxes to suit your taste with our cute adhesive films for the TROFAST series.
