Part 3 of #MumSeries looks inside our major love of home decorating. We currently found Neutrals Lover Carly Christman on Youtube + have been in complete awe of her video's (see baby room revamp pictured above) & this inspired us to share our DIY adoration + passion with you guys.

 

if you follow our Facebook Or Instagram you'll know all about our home decorating + diy building antics we are usually doing.

 

so we wanted to share our top tips + tricks to turning your baby room into a chic | minimalist + neutral loving space for your bundle of baby goodness.

 

Have A Plan:

*do you want to make everything yourself - or do you have a budget

I always think it's best to use what you already have - especially if they're old because restored furniture has character + an edge that modern furniture doesnt + why spend money when you dont have to.

 

*Pick a colour theme or any theme you want for baby and go with it.

here in NZ [if you're renting] you cant always paint bedrooms. I find that a colour you think is perfect now may not be later on down the track so neutrals are a win + will suit most changes you make to the bedroom as baby grows.

 

* plan out how you want the room to look

key things to keep in mind is the functionality of the room, what it'll be used for the most + what you want the feel of the bedroom to be. there is a wealth of inspiration to help you online through 'Blogs', youtube, instagram and especially pintrest + google. get inspired!

 

*do it yourself projects

when ever we have an opportunity to diy - we diy. we paint. we decorate with art peices for the wall. cute little word inspo for bedroom walls? rather than spend coupious amounts of money on purchasing them online... paint them yourself. it's easier than you think, cheaper + so much cooler.

 

 

please note:

if painting your cott, check that the paint will be safe for baby.
