In today’s baby and kids furniture market, it’s all about incorporating a collection of multifunctional pieces that will last a handful of years during childhood. Not only will this make for a stylish nursery, playroom, or children’s bedroom but it will also save a significant amount of money in your wallet that can be saved for other family essentials. When you’re in the process of furnishing your child’s nursery, consider a bassinet that doubles as a crib or a baby crib that turns into a toddler bed with a few simple adjustments. In addition, low-standing children’s dressers can serve as the perfect spot for attaching a changing table pad for when you need to change diapers. Not only is this a cost-effective nursery room option, but it also can save you a great deal of space in the room’s overall layout.
Children’s furniture made of a solid wood construction is a safe and reliable option for any nursery and is guaranteed to last you longer than furniture made from a cheaper material. Once you have established a versatile collection of durable furniture, it’s time to think of a lasting décor theme that will look wonderful and inspire your children everyday. Just as with clothes, food, toys, and accessories, kids have the tendency to grow out of items as they grow in age. When you begin to think of décor, consider themes that can cover a wide age range of children in order to ensure that your decorating investment will go a long way. Modern prints and removable decals are hot ticket items for nursery décor this year as they offer a trendy alternative to painted murals and wall art.
In addition to user-friendly wall decals, invest in a colorful rug that will tie your children’s room theme together. Adding a patterned or vibrantly colored area rug underneath a baby crib or playroom arts and crafts table will draw focus to the room and serve as a comfortable spot for your children to play on the floor all day long. Creative flooring manufacturers such as FLOR allow you to create an inspirational rug of your own with their assortment of square rug tiles. This will allow you to use your own creativity to accommodate an existing nursery style and to change up the design you’re looking for if you do decide to switch up the room’ décor theme in the future.

I appreciate the concept of investing in decor that will grow with my child as we are currently in process of doing just that with Barber's room and will begin the same process for Jeter's room this summer. I promise to post pics as we continue this endeavor!
