prepping for baby? dreading the baby gear look in your house?




alright, we all know the difference between homes with and without babies. homes without babies are organized, clean, and typically free of clutter. homes with little bundles of joy have baby gear all over and a single photo could capture a minimum of 10 product placement endorsements. have no fear momma... here are some tips.

tips-

1. register and purchase gear that fits with your decor (ie. traditional home= wood finishes, modern= simple/white, contemporary= clean lines)

2. inventory your space and note where items can fit without being in the middle of the floor (nooks, in place of bed/sofa tables, under sofa/bed)

3. stick with colors that compliment your current scheme verses going crazy with boy and girl themed purchases (what blends? tones of the same color or hues near it on the color wheel, avoid colors across from your primary)

4. nothing makes a home look less organized than neutral base colors mixing (ie brown and black) a small detail like this goes a long way.

5. space saving options are not only for parents in apartments, most are just as effective and better yet, the gear takes a backseat your decor. (travel cribs, swings, and highchairs are fantastic)

6. trivial but notable, draping blankets and toys etc over loud obnoxious tags help your home to look less like a ad and more like home with warmth and texture.

7. buy baby gates from pet stores (tip from a friend) they are typically made better and have different finishes that blend better into your current decor
