How to furnish the baby room 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 to each other or falling asleep. But how do you design the perfect baby room for girls?

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

Beautiful things for your baby girl's room

1. The right choice of furniture

It is particularly important to make clever use of the limited space in a baby's room. Clever storage solutions are therefore needed to keep baby's things within easy reach and still save space. As absolute Möbelschweden fans, we can warmly recommend the baby collections from IKEA*! There you will find stylish Scandinavian baby furniture at fair prices and smart storage solutions.

You need this furniture in your baby's room

1. Baby cot: For sweet dreams and a restful sleep when your little girl is ready to slumber in her own cot.
2. Changing unit: All important baby utensils such as nappies, creams and wipes can be stored here within easy reach - ideal for changing full nappies quickly and effortlessly! And there will be plenty of them, 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 baby has outgrown nappies, you can remove the top and use the chest of drawers as storage space for clothes and other items. Practical, isn't it?
3. Nursing chair: A cosy place for parents and child. Here you can comfortably breastfeed your little one or enjoy cuddling time with her.
4. Wardrobe: All your little one's clothes, such as bodysuits, jackets and cute little dresses, can be stored here. This means less stress when getting dressed and a tidy baby room at all times.
   

2. The right choice of colour

The choice of colours plays a decisive role in furnishing the baby's room. Traditionally, pastel colours 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 calming and relaxing effect on the baby's psyche.

However, it is worth thinking outside the box. Because other colours can also create a beautiful atmosphere in the baby room for girls. For example, what do you think of soft greens, delicate yellows or a calming shade of grey?

But before you get your paintbrushes out to paint the walls of the baby room, get some inspiration. Browse through magazines or scour the internet for great ideas for your baby's room. When making your final decision, also consider the colours and patterns that are already present in other rooms in your home to create a harmonious transition between the individual rooms.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to choose a colour palette that not only puts a smile on your face, but also on your little one's!

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

There are many possible combinations when it comes to the colour scheme in the baby room for girls. Delicate and unobtrusive colours are currently in vogue. A popular example is the beige and pink combination in the baby room for girls. However, neutral colours are also popular for decorating girls' rooms. For example, you can design your baby girl's room in mint, add colour accents in mustard yellow or combine shades of grey with soft pastel colours.

3. Cute wall design

Don't fancy painting the baby's room before your baby arrives? No problem! Avoid the stress and opt for the simple solution: wall film.

With child-friendly motifs such as cute clouds, playful dots and sparkling stars, they conjure up a magical atmosphere in your baby's room in no time at all. An atmosphere that will not only delight you, but also your baby!

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 a trace. This means that you can redesign your baby's room at any time - according to your little one's changing needs and preferences.

4. Sweet baby room decoration

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

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

Pretty baskets and boxes are ideal for keeping the baby room tidy without losing the desired charm. You can decorate the IKEA TROFAST boxes* to your own taste with our cute adhesive foils for the TROFAST range.
