Don't Skip the Decorative Touches

If your nursery is small you may be reluctant to add colour and pattern to the room in case it makes it feel even smaller. Similarly, if your baby will be sharing your bedroom in the long term you may feel like you need to skip the decorative touches.

There are ways to add some super-cute details without it making the space feel smaller. Even if your baby is sharing your room, you don’t need to miss out on the chance to make it extra-special.

Adding wall décor is the perfect solution in this scenario, as you can still personalise the space for your baby, without it fully dominating the room. Using either wall stickers, or framed prints is the perfect way to add some personality to the room without completely crowding it.

The rainbow print (above) from Pepper Print Shop at Not on the High Street adds a sweet personalised feel to the room, as well as an injection of colour.
