  • Yes, the White nursery on your Pinterest board looks sublime, but is it easy to maintain in your dust friendly surroundings?

Making the space user-friendly and long lasting should be the aim while designing your baby’s special space. Further, when selecting furniture, especially online, make sure that it adheres to the safety norms. Unfortunately, in India there are no regulations for baby furniture, however, there are certain international regulations that may be of help.

In the UK, all cots have to adhere to the BS EN 716-1 safety code. This code ensures that the cot is deep enough to keep the baby from climbing out. Similarly, there are regulations on cot bumpers. The fabrics used, the filling material, the size, etc. It is important to read up on these aspects and make an informed choice.

Take every trend and advice with reserve and do what you feel is best for you and your baby. At the end of the day, it is your special place and remember your baby’s nursery is going to become the one place where you will be spending most of your time in the near future. You have to make sure that it is your zone, your safe haven. Do not succumb to pressure but go with your gut instinct and ensure that all you do is all you need not all you want.
