1. Star Lights
Via Star Studded Kids’ Rooms
One of my favorite baby nursery ideas is to install fairy lights. They give your little one something to look at and give enough light to see in the middle of the night.
Fairy lights shaped like glowing stars create a dreamy ambiance, perfect for lulling babies to dreamland. Easily available in a variety of colors, these lights can match any nursery theme and become a magical focal point. Ensure they are safely out of reach and consider using LED options for energy efficiency and a cooler touch. Dimmer switches can also be a great addition, allowing you to adjust the brightness to suit different needs, whether it's a gentle glow for sleep or brighter light for feeding times.
