Choosing the perfect time to start decorating your new nursery may seem like a simple enough task to start planning, preparing for and designing your baby's nursery. It is a bit more complicated, as many parents who have tried on their own come to find out when planning. This article is designed for parents who may need a list of to-do's and not to-do's when planning and designing their nursery. Not every parent is able to stay at home and design and plan all day, unfortunately.

First, make sure to be at least 16 weeks pregnant and without any prior complications. Before you plan, you must make sure the pregnancy will in all likelihood go full term. A miscarriage is horrible enough without having a completed nursery to have to take down, sadly.

Second, choose the furniture. Many parents will want to wait until they know the sex of their child to do this. Since there are so many options today and furniture is not all unisex anymore. Choose a good brand, sturdy, well made and preferably a convertible. Choose hardwood construction or Pine, Oak, Cedar. Million Dollar Baby and Angel Line have been the best quality cribs I have been in contact with, within the last 7 years of business.

Third, choose the theme. The popular themes are:

Girl - Garden, Pink, Rainbow, Winnie the Pooh, Disney Princess, Flowers, Hearts, Under the Sea, Moon and Stars / Celestial, Bugs, Dragonflies, Pond and Jungle / Safari.

Boy - Jungle / Safari, Transportation, Sports, Cars, Blues, Patchwork, Nautical.

Some Styles for Nursery can be found online by typing in "Nursery by Theme", "Nursery Themes", "Baby Boy Crib Bedding", "Baby Girl Crib Bedding"

Once you have chosen a theme, setting a price limit is always a good thing. Many retail stores still offer lay-away, and some online stores do as well. Most Baby Bedding sets are going to cost between 35.99 (poor quality) to 500.00 (superb quality). The mid-line priced baby bedding (Cocalo, lambs and Ivy, Bedtime Originals, Kidsline, Bananfish, Crown Crafts Products) range from 89.00 to 189.00 and are very nice quality and have excellent resale value. Nursery Accessories are usually always available with any baby bedding set. Most useful accessories are - musical mobile, blankets, extra sheet or two, hamper, diaper stacker, nursery baskets and nursery lamp. Other accessories can include - picture frames, rugs, crib toys, valances, wall borders, wall decor / wall hangings, stuffed toys, pillows, matching stroller and diaper genie covers, switch plates, night lights, growth charts, shelving, and more.

If you are going to purchase online, make sure you allow at least 2-6 weeks for delivery of any baby bedding priced 180.00 or more. This is in the designer baby bedding category and most stores will not have the baby bedding directly in stock online, unless they are returns or a conglomerate such as Babies R Us.

No matter what -

If you shop online, make sure the website is secure when checking out. How to do this is to simply look at the address bar where it says http//. Make sure it says https://. The s stands for secure.
