Tricks to save decorating for babies

Thus we arrive at the last post of this special, where we have been giving you the fundamental clues to create a cozy and healthy space for your baby to grow. Diapers, cribs, cabinets, carpets, humidifiers ... the truth is that you start making the list and it is a non-stop buying things (up to 8,000 euros as we saw only the first year). Like in Babies and more We do not want the budget to be the excuse for not extending the family, I summarize the main tricks to create a baby bedroom with everything you need without reaching red numbers and without diminishing quality.

In principle, yes bets for the simpleNormally you save. If you paint a color that matches the toys, they will be part of the decoration and if you replace the cabinets and furniture with baskets and shelves, you will also reduce the budget. First of all, before acquiring any furniture or complement, make sure that it meets all the safety standards we have told you throughout the special: that it is hypoallergenic, that it has the EU quality seals and that the child cannot be hurt during use Here are places to find cheap furniture and accessories:

  • In the room of a brother, a cousin or a nephew. Indeed, this is the most obvious trick, but not the most useful. The truth is that decorating the room of the new baby with the furniture of a child who has been using them until recently and that you know is full of advantages. First, you know under what conditions each piece of furniture has been used, and secondly, surely the parents of the other child help you assemble it and give you decorative clues.
  • In barter markets like Spermöla, where everyone can offer their spare furniture and acquire (totally free) what they need. You may have to give it a coat of paint, but don't say it's not an exceptional solution.
  • In thrift shopping, either in the physical ones (in my neighborhood there are a couple of them, one is a franchise and the other is smaller) or in the Internet. I have tried eBay and Secondhand, and in both cases the deal was very good and what I bought was exactly what was advertised.
  • Reusing those of the brothers or their own. We already saw how to choose a bedroom that grows with the baby will save you headaches when redecorating and, although in principle it involves a greater investment in the long run it is a very wise decision.

As always, the decoration continues in Weblogs SL in Decoesfera, where we will be happy to give you more ideas for bedrooms, both for children and babies, as well as for the rest of the house.
