If buying used or second hand, thoroughly inspect items for worn, broken, or unsafe latches or designs. Keep in mind, you'll probably be changing furniture as your child grows, so keep designs simple and colors neutral. Choose universal themes and colors. Using wallpaper borders and appliques are a great way to decorate, since they can be easily applied and removed as your child's tastes change. Place mirrors, lights, sun catchers, wind chimes, stuffed animals, or bright sheets or comforters strategically throughout your nursery, especially around the crib and changing table area.
Babies respond to bright colors, soothing sounds, and images of themselves or of their mommies.
