Nursery: Decorating, Layout and Safety – Complete Guide

Priorities for furnishing the baby's room

The baby's room is their first world. It must meet three essential criteria: safety, comfort, and appropriate sensory stimulation. According to Naître et Grandir, the ideal temperature for a baby's room is between 18 and 20°C.

The baby cot: the centerpiece

The cot is the central element of the room. For safe sleep:

• Choose a firm mattress that fits the cot's dimensions
• Opt for a barred cot with regulatory spacing (between 4.5 and 6.5 cm)
• Add a cot bumper to protect the baby from the bars
• Choose a bed canopy to create a magical and reassuring atmosphere

The night light: soft lighting for nights

A soft night light is essential for night feedings and reassures the baby. Choose a silicone night light with warm, adjustable light, without UV radiation. Our Silicone Baby Night Lights collection offers adorable and safe models.

Decor ideas for the baby's room

For a room that is both beautiful and functional:

• Soft color palette: white, beige, mint, powder pink, or sky blue
• A canopy bed: creates a magical cocoon above the bed
• Mobiles and play arches: stimulate the baby's vision
• Practical storage: baskets, organizers for diapers and clothes

Safety in the baby's room

Safety is paramount. Some essential rules:

• Do not leave any soft objects (stuffed animals, cushions) in the cot before 12 months
• Anchor heavy furniture to the wall
• Use outlet covers
• Ensure blind cords are out of reach
