Average Customer Ratings:

Planning a baby's room involves not only providing a pretty nursery but also tailoring your living space to the new arrival's needs. Babies' Rooms by Judith Wilson shows how to tread a fine line between tasteful decoration and the requirements of a small child, and address issues of proacticality and safety, plus planning for future development. The book begins by looking at sleeping places for babies in the parents' bedroom. Next are inspirational chapters on decoration, lighting and furniture for unisex nurseries, plus fun and funky ideas for girls' and boys' rooms, and advice on the needs of planning a shared bedroom for a baby and a toddler or for twins. There are also chapters on adapting a bathoom for little ones, creating stimulating and safe eating and play spaces, and devising brilliant storage. The book concludes with useful checklists, a question and answer section, and an extensive resources list. Invaluable advice for new parents on how to enjoy relaxed family living in style. A must-have guide to planning for, and decorating, beautiful yet practical rooms for children aged from zero to three. Stunning photography of real homes by Winfried Heinze.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Good Book, wish it had more pictures of nursery rooms -
Good book, but was looking for more nursery ideas and since this book covers all rooms a baby uses - your master at the beginning, kitchen, play space, older rooms ... etc., it didn't have that many nursery examples. The cover is my favorite and really the only room I needed for inspiration (there isn't more of this room inside the book).

beautiful! -
My baby is still on the way, but I love this book! It is an inspiration for my whole house, not just the baby's room. Simple, bright, light children's rooms without a bunch of corny murals, matchy matchy stuff from the baby superstore, or overpriced puffy bedding. I got this book from the library last week and I think I've got my nursery all planned out!

Spartan, institutional babies' rooms -
If you have a modest budget, strong affinity for white paint and your tastes lean exclusively to a modern aesthetic, you might enjoy this book. There is precious little interior design, or even decoration, happening in these rooms. They are hard, cold, bleak and sterile. It is beautifully-shot, but unless you're curious about how to elegantly frame shots of artfully simple rooms, look for inspiration elsewhere. There are a great number of shots featuring adorable baby dresses on hangers, hung from wall pegs...the good design happening here is of the apparel variety, not interior. For the most part, the rooms have all the charm of an underfunded orphanage. Not the imaginative, innovative thinking I had hoped for. Save your money and time, for this book wastes both.

Great Ideas -
This book offers up a lot of great suggestions when it comes to decorating a baby's room. Definately worth the purchase.

Great Idea Book -
One of the many things that change in your life when the baby comes is that he or she needs a room. (This is besides the fact that your whole life gets turned upside down.) All of a sudden there's a new person in the house. A person with different requirements. Furniture needs to be different: a crib at first, then smaller chairs, storage (huge amounts of storage for diapers, for toys), and probably different decorations.

This book, by a former editor of Homes and Gardens talks about some of the ways you'll need to change your homes. Some of the things she talks about are things you'll notice that you've already done. Some of the things are good ideas that you'll want to implement. Some of the things she does just don't go far enough -- for instance I've always thought that having an eating area for the child that you can hose out once in a while seemed like a good idea.

Great idea book for the new mommy or even for daddy. Maybe he can build some of these things.
