The Ultimate Guide to Transitioning from Nursery to Big Girl Room

July 11, 2024 Kristin Hack

Transitioning from a nursery to a big girl room is a bit of a milestone! To help with this exciting change, we’ve put together some beautiful finds from our favourite stores. We've used our Checkered wallpaper in pink as a backdrop for the room and selected items that add fun and colour to the space. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

Bedding: Opt for bedding that matches the room’s colour scheme, remember it's easier to change out your bedding than it is the wallpaper.
Furniture: Consider a toddler bed or a small twin bed with a fun headboard. Add a cute nightstand and a dresser with ample storage. Look for pieces that will add some colour to the space.
Decorative Pillows and Throws: Add cozy and colourful pillows and throws to make the bed inviting. Mix and match different textures and patterns for a playful look.
Rugs: A soft, colourful rug can add warmth and comfort to the room.
Wall Art: Decorate the walls with framed prints, decals, or DIY art projects. Choose pieces that reflect your child's interests and personality.
Lighting: Add a fun lamp or a nightlight in a cute design.
Toy Storage: Incorporate storage solutions that are both functional and stylish. Look for bins, baskets, or shelves that fit the room’s theme.
Bookshelves: Encourage reading by adding a small bookshelf stocked with favourite books. Choose a design that is easily accessible for little hands.
Play Area: Create a cozy corner with a small table and chairs for colouring, puzzles, and other activities.
Personal Touches: Add personalised items, like a name sign, monogrammed bedding, or a custom growth chart to make the room feel special.
