There is hardly a moment as precious in a person's life as the birth of their own child. Even for those that already have one or more, new children bring new experiences, new pleasures, and there can be no doubt new obligations. Among the tasks that arise, that of creating a welcoming and secure baby nursery is one of the most important.
The assembly of such a nursery room implies the selection of various new articles of child-safe furniture, not to mention a bit of an eye for design. Doubtless many items of baby furniture and the rest of the process of setting the nursery up will be a bit costly (especially if you don't choose very well), so knowing how to identify reasonably priced products from reliable suppliers as well as making the most out of inherited and passed down items will be crucial to the process as a whole.
The child's security and safety, as in all matters, will be the first priority in all regards...always. To begin with, it is simply not acceptable to have any kinds of pointed, sharp, or jagged objects, ledges and so forth in any part of the room, much less the furniture. The risk of possible injury should be systematically minimized to the lowest level.
Furthermore, you will want to make sure that the furniture is sturdy and durable: you'd be surprised just how much strength your child has, and the wear and tear that baby furniture is submitted to can be quite significant. Of course, you don't need everything made out of cast iron, but do give things a little test before deciding to make a purchase.
There are specific items of baby furniture you'll want to keep your eyes out for: the fundamental piece of furniture, it ought to go without saying, will be the baby crib. Beyond being sturdy per the suggestion above, ensure that that crib has tall sidebars that lock into place and will prevent the child from being able to get out.
Furthermore, you'll want to have a glider rocker, which will provide both entertainment for the baby as well as help set it to sleep, as the simple rocking motion is a great mechanism that simulates the gentle to and fro motion in a loving parent's arms.
Additionally, let your creative side come out when designing your child's nursery. As an example of something creative to do, consider having things hang from the ceiling or above the crib (especially as newborns tend to spend a good deal of time staring upwards in their crib).
Security, again, is important here, and anytime you have either an item of furniture or otherwise (decoration as in this case) hanging from the ceiling you will want to make sure it is properly installed, and if you can't ensure this on your own then hire someone that can.
Finally, consider adding some baby furniture that will continue to be useful beyond the infant stage: mini-slides or other kinds of entertainment centers, etc., are all good ideas that will prove to be useful for many years into the future.
