How to Make a Nursery in Your Bedroom

1). Create space for the baby's crib or bassinet. Avoid placing the baby's bed near a window, heating or cooling vents or an outside wall.
2). Paint the wall next to the crib or bassinet in a light, pastel color or add wallpaper. Apply removable wall decals in a theme that matches the baby's toys if you prefer not to paint or apply wallpaper.
3). Place the crib or bassinet in the designated nursery area. Place a fitted sheet on the mattress, which is all you need to put in the crib to prevent choking or smothering accidents. Hang a mobile above the crib.
4). Place a changing table a few feet away from the crib if there is enough space. If there is no space, place a changing pad on top of your chest of drawers. If you use a changing pad, it must have straps to prevent your baby from rolling.
5). Place a diaper pail or designated garbage bin beside the changing area. Keep diapers, wipes and other related essentials nearby to make changing the baby's diaper an easier process.
6). Create space in your closet or dresser drawer for your baby's clothes. Keep a basket in the corner of the room for the baby's toys.
7). Add other items to the nursery area, such as a rocking chair, a small table, and a lamp with soft lighting, if space is available. Arrange all items in a way that promotes ease of movement in the nursery area and to other parts of your room.
