Room to Grow

Thinking ahead can save you precious time and money in the future. Here are some tips for designing a room that will grow with your child:

1. Choose a neutral wall color that will fit a number of themes. It can be gender specific, but if you go with pink or blue, choose a more muted tone.
2. Stay away from permanent wall decorations, like wall paper and murals. Using removable wall hangings will be much easier to update later.
3. Select baby furniture that won’t need to be replaced after only a few years. For example, get a crib that converts to a toddler bed and a changing table that doubles as a dresser.
