Organized storage can be accomplished with wooden boxes, covered baskets and crates, large cardboard containers, fruit or wicker basket, or pull-out wire covered kitchen shelves. A lamp, in addition to overhead lighting or dimmer switches will allow you to turn down the lights for naptime. Since dimmer switches are built into the wall, you don t have to worry about wires or cords for later-stage toddlers to tamper with or trip on. The room will need at least two electrical outlets on each wall. You will want blinds to block or filter light during the daytime and at night.
Some blinds come with total light-blocking material.
For toddlers and preschool children, safety is vital. They will need a low bed or one with a bed rail. Electrical outlets will need to be covered, and the windows need to be secure so children can t climb out and hurt themselves. It isn t a good idea to use long curtains in children s rooms. Try a double row of caf curtains or blinds to be pulled down for privacy.
