Parenthood is a beautiful thing, and one of the best ways to welcome the newest member of your family is with a comfy nursery. However, many parents are at loss when they start asking themselves, “How do I decorate a nursery in my condo?” Here are 11 awesome tips that will not only give your baby a gorgeous room, but will also make the most out of the space you have.
1. Have a Cool Baby Crib Mobile
Crib mobiles are essential when setting up a nursery. Not only do they enhance the overall look of the your baby’s crib, but they also have many benefits for your baby. Visual and sound stimulation are two important benefits of crib mobiles. Help in the development of your child’s vision with bold colors and fun shapes. A crib mobile that can also play music will be relaxing for your baby. Avoid loud and blaring music as this hinders your child from having a restful sleep.
2. Make Sure the Fabrics are Hypoallergenic
Making your condo allergy-proof is a valid concern of parents when welcoming their new child. You can go about this in various ways, from ensuring proper ventilation to avoiding strong odor. However, don’t forget about the fabric you use for your baby. A baby’s skin is sensitive, and using hypoallergenic fabrics will make sure your child is comfortable. Pure cotton is your best bet because it’s naturally hypoallergenic. Cotton is the suitable fabric to combat allergies and skin irritations. It’s also incredibly easy to maintain as it doesn’t attract lint easily and only require basic washing.
3. Splash the Walls with Color

Optimize wall colors when preparing your condo for your baby. Remember that the nursery’s design is important to aid his physical, mental, and emotional capacities. Unlike adults, babies begin to see the world through sharp color contrasts. It’s for this reason that painting the room with striking colors serves an important purpose. Condo living in the Philippines has become great for this because you are at the center of commerce and culture, making the search for colorful inspiration fun and easy. It’s convenient to find combinations of light and dark colors, and to complement them with various prints.

Instead of investing in expensive air purifiers, consider bringing in potted plants to your nursery in the condo. Your leafy friends are fantastic because they add serenity to any space while acting as natural and hardworking air purifiers. Plants are great for any condo community in the Philippines because they are available everywhere and they exude a tropical vibe. There are many plants to choose from, but know that whatever you prefer will be a great choice because all plants can purify the air through photosynthetic processes.
6. Place a Dresser for Easy Storage

From diaper creams to washcloths, a dresser can accommodate a great number of your baby’s needs. Having a dresser with its own changing pad can also do wonders because it provides the surface on which you will do countless diaper changes. Dressers are also great because they do not take up much space, making it ideal for your condominium.
