The arrival of a baby not only brings great joy to a house. It also brings a host of new spending, and it is important to learn from the beginning organized so that these expenses do not we go together. Starting with the new room you want to design for the smallest member of your family.
Not have to spend a fortune to create a fun and wonderful room for your baby. Here are some tips on how to decorate a baby’s room with a small budget.

1) The most important thing when you start to decorate your baby’s room is, without doubt, SAFETY. You should review all safety rules before you buy or borrow furniture for the nursery.

2) Use all second hand items you can get, especially for items such as the first stroller, a walker or a baby bath. Find deals in thrift stores, classified ads in local newspapers and the Internet shopping site, Ebay. Note that the first articles of a newborn are rarely used for a few months, so the state is generally good although they have passed through several owners.

3) If you buy new furniture, choose those that will remain useful as the baby grows. Do not buy furniture too “baby” to continue using them for at least the first 5 years of his childhood. Buy according to your lifestyle. If you travel a lot, you might consider buying a travel cot which can be easily removed and put in a suitcase or large bag. They are cheaper than wood cribs and, often, more cheerful. It is better to invest your money in a good bed in a well-born, as will many more years in the latter

4) Choose colors for the room to coordinate with the colors of the toys. This toy will become part of the decor!

5) Do the work yourself. Purchasing second-hand furniture and then paint them with bright colors and symmetrical forms. Buy fun and make curtains fabrics, quilts and cushion covers coordinated. Paint the walls. Prepare yourself “nest”

6) Choose a paint color for the walls that “grow” with the child. Pink or blue colors are adorable baby but maybe not for young children of 4 or 5 years.

7) Use baskets, drawers and shelves instead of cabinets to store toys, clothes and other essentials.

If you need more space available for storage, put shelves on the walls or invest in a kit easy to assemble and economical stores like IKEA.

9 º) Instead of papering the entire room, which are expensive and somewhat difficult for an inexperienced person, once painted the walls. Garnish with a strip for rooms with a different color or paint around the windows, ceilings and doors.

10) Your best resource for ideas to save will be the experiences of other mothers who have just been in your place. Everyone will be happy to share their ideas and items you no longer need.
