Interior Decor Colors

Interior decor colors tie your home together. Pick a coordinating color scheme so your entire house flows. Color is an inexpensive way to decorate and still makes a big impact. Look for colors that create the mood and theme you want in your space. You can repaint when you want a different feeling in the room.

Look for an inspiration picture when choosing a room color. This could be a magazine clipping of a designer room. You may not be able to afford an interior designer but you can use the same colors. Some decorating shows post the paint colors they use on their websites. Just make sure that your space has the same amount of light and space as your inspiration room so that your room isn't overwhelmed by a dark or bold color. Slipcover or paint your furniture to really makeover your room.

Color inspiration can come from items that have nothing to do with decorating. Pay close attention when you cook or spend time in the garden. The bright colors of peppers can create a funky kitchen. A pink rose can inspire the paint for a baby's nursery. Look to the items you love such as jewelry, fabric, scrap booking stickers or even your car. You can match the color exactly at a paint store. Just be sure that you love the color, not just the feeling associated with the item. The finish will be different on your walls so paint a test swatch to ensure that the color works in your space before you paint.

Fabric is an easy way to coordinate decorating colors. Begin with fabric, artwork, or a rug if you are starting with a blank room. These items contain their own color palette. The background color can work as a cabinet color or inspire the stone choice for a fireplace. For a more subtle room use the colors in the piece that you can hardly see. These neutrals will create a soothing room so your inspiration piece is the focal point.

Baby Proofing your Home - Baby Safety Tips for Effective Babyproofing

Unfortunately, more than four million children end up in the emergency room each year as a result of home accidents. The good news is 90% of these accidents could have been avoided. While there is no replacement for vigilant supervision, proactive childproofing can go along way towards preventing needless accidents. As your child explores, teach him what is safe and what is off-limits.

Drawing on the knowledge of child safety expert Kimberlee Mitchell, experienced mother of two toddlers and owner of Boo Boo Busters Professional Babyproofing Service, below is a list of recommended childproofing tips for every home.

How To Create A Baby Safe Home Environment

The cheapest and quickest way to babyproof is to limit access to certain parts of the home that are neither safe nor appropriate for babies. The garage, laundry room, loft, terrace, office, gym, utility room, craft room, rooms under construction, etc. should be "off limits" for babies and should be secured with door locks. The front door and interior garage door should have flip locks so child does not have access to outdoors.

Common Hazards in Every Home

Some household dangers are obvious yet others can be more elusive. Albeit there are hundreds of dangers common to every household, they are easily rectified once recognized.

Electrical:

· Cover all outlets, power strips and old exposed wires. Engaged outlets with a cord plugged in and play areas (nursery, play room, living room) should have sliding plate covers or a big box outlet cover for oversized plugs on every exposed outlet. Push plugs can be used in less accessible areas only if the plugs are very difficult for an adult to remove. A determined child and/or a set of twins, can remove the push plugs given enough time.

· Use cord control kits to organize and house all wires.

Tipping:

· Anchor all armoires, shelving units, dressers, etc. or appliances (i.e. TV, VCR, computer, etc.) that can topple onto child as a result of climbing or pulling. When drawers are open simultaneously the unit, however sturdy, becomes front heavy and tips easily with weight of toddler on open drawer.

· Earthquakes are another good reason to secure heavy furniture to wall stud.

Falls:

· Install window guards with emergency release latches on all windows on second level. Screens are not babyproofing devices. Beware of toy stacking. Children will pile up anything to get a view outside. Move furniture away from half walls where child can climb up and fall over. Consider having Plexiglas installed to extend dangerous pony walls.

· Mount safety gate at stair top and bottom. Professional babyproofers offer top quality gates, extensions, custom mount kits for wood and wrought iron banisters. Pressure gates are not recommended. If banister posts are more than 3" apart, install a barrier.

· Install custom cut Plexiglas on stair banisters and decks that are no to code (2 1/2 inches wide) or if there are decorative embellishments on banister that will act as a foothold for a climbing child.

· Be sure all area rugs and mats have non-skid bottoms to avoid slipping.

· Never leave infant unattended on changing table or bed

· Never let child play on stairs unattended.

Chemical:

· Move all chemicals (including cleaning supplies, various beauty and childcare accessories and alcohol) to a high locked cabinet.

· Install magnetic child safety locks (Tot Loks) on all accessible drawers and cabinets that contain these toxic items. These are 100% kid proof.

· No unsupervised entry into garage and laundry room.

· CO detectors should be installed on each level of home near sleeping quarters.

Plants:

· Find out which plants in your home and yard are poisonous. Landscapers commonly use White Oleander, which is highly toxic. If there is a plant in question, cut off a sprig, put it in a zip lock bag and bring it to local plant nursery for their input.

Pets:

· Keep all pet doors closed off when child is present.

· Pets run through door and knock over child and/or child can escape to the outside via the door, which is at their eye level and quite inviting.

· Never allow your child access to an animal you don't know is good with children. Don't allow child to hug dog or kiss its face. Don't bring small children to dog parks. Keep child away from pack of fast running dogs.

Choking/Strangulation:

· Anything that will fit inside an empty cardboard toilet paper roll is a choking hazard.

· Replace all old door stops that have removable rubber tips with one piece door stops as the small rubber tip is a choking hazard.

· Do a visual safety sweep of home every day before child wakes to make sure all small objects are picked up off floor.

· Beware of older children's toys that can be choking hazards. Use locked storage bins for small pieces.

· Install a peg rack on wall to hang purses, coats, bags, backpacks, etc. to keep out of reach.

· Install blind cord cleats and wrap all dangling cords to disallow strangulation.

Water:

· Avoid the most common drowning hazard and have a pool fence, cover or net installed over all pools and spas.

· When swimming with baby or small child always make sure they are within arm's distance and PAY ATTENTION. Being engrossed in a conversation with someone while "watching your child" is very dangerous.

· Babies can fall into toilet head first and not be able to get out so be sure to install toilet locks.

· After it rains do a visual safety sweep of the yard to look for planters, buckets or water tables with pooled water and dump it out.

· Never leave the child unattended in or around water.

· Turn your water heater down to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid risk of scalding.

Humans:

· Use back burners in kitchen and turn pot handles in.

· Parents make habit of holding handrail when using stairs when carrying child.

· Keep doors to "off limits" rooms pulled closed.

· Beware of elderly or older children's non-safe habits about household. They will unintentionally leave medicines out, drop pills, leave doors/cabinets/drawers open, etc. You can educate your family members to be mindful of their unsafe habits but at the end of the day the baby's safety is still your responsibility.

· Be vigilant about supervising your child. You can babyproof your home like a safety fortress but there is no replacement for your constant attention.

· Turn off the TV if you are not watching it with your child. The program may be child-safe but the commercials might not. There are some pretty terrifying things on TV that will not physically harm a baby but can cause damage. See your pediatrician about this topic for more information.

A VIRTUAL HOME SAFETY EVALUATION:

The following is a room-by-room walk through of an average family home. Keep in mind that our homes were not designed for the safety of a baby or child in mind. Each residence has special features that are unique as well as common safety challenges. Below is a list of solutions to common safety hazards found in most homes:

Kitchen

· Install magnetic child safety locks (Tot Loks) on all accessible drawers and cabinets that contain toxic items (i.e. cleaning supplies, alcohol, vitamins, plastic bags, etc.)

· Gate off kitchen area.

· Keep child in high chair or pack and play during meal preparation.

· Latch all other drawers and cabinets. We recommend babyproofing for safety first and foremost, however it's also a matter of convenience. If you choose, keep one cupboard with Tupperware lids unlocked for child to access but be sure they can not use this open cabinet or drawer as a step to climb up onto counter. Your child may not be able to reach certain drawers now but he surely will in no time.

· Never let child play with pots or pans as it sends the wrong message to child that these are toys. When child sees the same pots/pan on stove top he will want to grab his familiar "toy."

· Consider latching all appliances child can access like the refrigerator, dishwasher, trash compactor, dumbwaiter and oven.

· Keep all appliances on counter unplugged and hide electrical cords.

· Do not hang dish towels on oven door as baby can pull towel and bring the door down into the bridge of his nose.

· Use back burners on stove and install stove guard and knob covers if child has access to them.

· Do not use small or breakable refrigerator magnets as they are choking hazards.

· Beware of leaving knives, scissors, coffee mug, etc. out on counter as child will grab at whatever they can get a handle on from their vantage.

Bathrooms

· No unsupervised entry into bathroom.

· Use safety locks on door at all times.

· Install toilet locks to prevent child from drowning and throwing objects in.

· Latch all cabinets.

· Move wastebasket under sink behind a latched cabinet door or use a covered receptacle.

· Turn water heater down to 120 degrees to prevent scalding.

· Always check water temperature on your inner wrist prior to putting baby into it.

· Never leave a child in bath unattended.

· Never leave filled tub unattended and drain tub immediately after use. Children can wander in and drown.

· Use no-slip mat to prevent slipping and a spout cover to prevent scalding and cuts.

· Remove all electrical appliances from bathroom where child bathes.

Living Room/Family Room

· Eliminate baby's access to fireplaces, wood stoves and hot tubs using gates developed for this purpose. If gates will not work on fireplace use specially designed fireplace lock on glass accordion doors and install hearth padding around edges of hearth to prevent child from falling onto it.

· Remove gas key from fireplace gas gauge and store in high place.

· Anchor all items that are tipping hazards.

· Anchor TVs.

· Remove all items (torchiere lamps, freestanding coat racks, statues, etc.) from home until child is older.

· Cover end tables, coffee tables, countertops, and low dressers furniture corners and edges with cushioning created for this purpose.

Decks

· No unsupervised access to decks. Beware of you child stacking toys/object to see over railing.

· Install a Plexiglas or net barrier if there is more than 2 ½ inches between railing posts.

· Put decals on sliding glass doors at baby's eye level, so he or she doesn't run into them.

· Always keep baby away when from the grill. Hearthgates work well for this purpose.

· Do not use deck furniture to eliminate risk of climbing.

· Always lock all doors leading to decks.

Nursery

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, National Safety Council and the American Academy of Pediatrics have the following helpful safety suggestions for your child's nursery.

· ALWAYS place your baby to sleep on his or her back. This greatly reduces the risk from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) or suffocation. Since the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended back-sleeping five years ago, SIDS deaths in the USA have declined by 38%.

· Remove all soft bedding-pillows, comforters, blankets and stuffed animals-from the crib to further reduce risk of suffocation. Instead of a blanket, dress baby in a sleep sack or sleeper.

· Make sure the crib itself meets current safety standards. This means:

1. The slats are no wider than 2 3/8" apart

2. The mattress is firm-not soft (foam or coil - your preference)

3. There is no gap between mattress and crib walls. Two fingers worth of space is too much.

4. Corner posts are level with the height of the end panels (just 1/16" higher at most)

5. There are no decorative cut-outs in the headboard or footboard.

6. Top rails, when raised, are at least 26" above the mattress support in its lowest position.

7. Hardware is secure-no loose or broken screws or pieces. Recheck periodically.

8. Drop sides cannot be accidentally released by a child. (According to the National Safety Council, the crib sides should require two separate steps to release. If this is a one step process, it should require a minimum force of 10 pounds to release.)

9. Look for a JPMA safety certification seal on newly manufactured cribs.

10. Top rails should be covered by teething guards.

· Keep blind cords, curtain pulls, décor, electrical cords and mobiles out of baby's reach.

· Maintain a cool room temperature give a recommended range to prevent overheating.

· Place baby's crib away from any source of draft.

· Make sure baby's fitted sheet is secured to the mattress and will not pop loose.

· Place a baby monitor in the nursery far from child's reach.

· Consider purchasing a special crib mattress that circulates air around baby. This helps prevent the "rebreathing" of carbon dioxide, which is believed to be a leading cause of SIDS.

· If you use bumper pads, make sure they are tightly secured to the sides of the cribs. Trim excess ties or straps. Straps should be loose, easy to push down to mattress and not hung up on any hardware. You don't want your child to get a foothold on bumper to be able to climb out.

· When child is sitting up remove bumper pads and all other animals or pillows and lower crib mattress to lowest position.

· Once the top of the crib rails are less than three-fourths your child's height or they are 36 inches tall, it's time to move to a toddler bed.

· If you have a child who climbs out of the crib before the above point, seriously consider using a crib tent. Some parent's don't like it but the potential alternatives are far worse.

· Install finger guards on fast-closing doors.

· Anchor all furniture, cover all outlets (even ones behind crib), and install locks or window guards on all windows.

· When baby is sitting up remove all mobiles and any type of canopy over bed as they can pose choking or strangulation hazards.

· Do not place heavy object on shelves or hang pictures above crib.

· Use earthquake putty on all objects placed on shelving. Use Velcro the secure base of pictures on walls - stick to wall and back of frame and it will prevent it from falling and breaking during quake.

· Use locks on sliding closet doors until baby can open and close without pinching fingers or slamming causing glass doors to crack.

· Pick up room every night before bed so in the event of an emergency you can get to your child quickly without incident.

· When child is in toddler bed, use pressure gate in doorway to prevent child from walking around house unsupervised during the night. Instruct child to call for you when he is awake in the morning.

Fire & Health Safety

· Store fire escape ladders in every bedroom on second level and above.

· Place working fire alarms in every bedroom and on every story and remember to check them regularly. Day light savings time is a good marker to use check your alarms bi-annually

.

· Install carbon monoxide detectors on each level of home near sleeping areas.

· Install natural gas detectors on each level of home near sleeping areas.

· Create and practice a disaster plans. (ie. fire escape plan, earthquake plan, disaster plan.)

· Purchase disaster preparedness kits.

· Make sure all fire/smoke alarms are in working order.

· Place the phone number of the poison control center near the telephone. You will need to know your child's weight to treating a poisoning. Never use ipecac unless instructed by a professional to do so.

· Learn first aid and CPR and keep your skills up-to-date.

Top 5 Tips in Setting Up Your Baby's Nursery

It is an exciting time to prepare your baby's nursery but knowing the right time is also important. Some parents may choose to have it done while the mother has just received the good news that she's pregnant. Other parents prefer to set up the baby's nursery together with the construction and interior design of their homes.

Normally if you plan and set-up the nursery in advance, neutral colors are incorporated to ensure that the room will fit the baby's gender. White, beige and cream are the most common color schemes for a neutral room. A few updating once the baby's gender is determined can be done to make sure that the room is comfy and appropriate.

Once you've determined the gender of your baby, it's ideal to plan the completion of the interiors and purchase other necessities for the nursery.

Here are top 5 tips in setting-up your baby's nursery for its completion to make it baby-ready:

1. If you haven't selected the right furniture yet for your little one, make sure that you prioritize the bigger furniture pieces first and foremost. These pieces are normally moderately-priced to expensive, so make sure that you have the budget or prioritize in spending your budget for the more important pieces. The baby's crib is the most important as of this time because it is the place for baby's rest and relaxation.

A changing table is also important and these days it is incorporated with a dresser to keep all of your baby's clothes and stuff in.

Make sure that you have a bed for mom or for any adult in the house who will be assigned to stay with the baby each night. Younger infants should not be left alone in a nursery unless you have a baby camera or monitoring device inside. It is a safety precaution nowadays, so you might as well invest on those too.

2. Other baby-friendly necessities such as bedding materials, bedding sets, toys and activity sets should be examined first before you buy them.

Make sure that the materials are safe and non-toxic for your baby. If he/she is vulnerable to allergens, make sure that the material of her beddings is hypoallergenic.

3. You may want to plan and purchase for furniture that can be used for a long period of time. Dressers and a bed you are planning to buy should be made of tough materials to ensure that your baby can use them for years. These are bigger pieces of furniture so invest on them wisely.

4. The decor of your baby's nursery can be based on a theme such as a cartoon character, flora and fauna themes, or a generic theme that can be updated as the child grows older.

As mentioned earlier, if you plan ahead and included the nursery in the overall interior design of your home, a neutral palette can be used. Complementary design can be used via incorporating furniture, curtains and other stuff that can add life and fun to your baby's nursery.

Upgrading some paint job is also advisable just make sure to do this while the baby is still unborn and once you've determine its gender. Make sure to use non-toxic and odorless paint.

5. Once all the upgrading and furniture are ready, you can arrange the interiors of the nursery to make it baby-friendly and safe for everyone. It is ideal to keep the nursery free from clutter and too much unnecessary furniture and accessories. It is important that you can move around freely and that there is ample space. As much as possible, do not overcrowd the nursery with too much toys and things that the baby won't enjoy at this time.

Planning for a baby's nursery is a fun idea. The key is to keep it safe, simple and spacious for everyone. Only buy the necessary furniture and when you do, make sure to check each piece for safety and sturdiness to keep your baby happy and safe at all times.

Baby Nursery Bedding - The ABC's of Nursery Feng Shui

For first time parents, welcome to parenthood, and for those preparing to make use of the old rocking horse and crib buried shoulder deep amongst other acquired mess in the garage, welcome back!

As many second, third or even fourth-time parents will know, the right environment and mood surrounding your child can provide them with the best possible start in life. Everything from your baby's mood, mental and physical health to their awareness and emotions can be soothed or inspired by nursery Feng Shui.

While most people think this may break the bank and leave their pockets with gaping holes, they couldn't be further from the truth. In actual fact, nursery Feng Shui has absolutely nothing to do with designer linens or expensive interior decorators. With a little research it is an easy do-it-yourself project that simply anyone can do.

In a nutshell, Feng Shui is a 3,000-year-old Chinese practice of interior decorating which allows for the open flow of positive energy in a home, educational or workplace setting.

Practitioners of Feng Shui, which literally means "wind and water", believe space must be arranged for energy, or "chi" to flow freely, to invite good luck, success, and positive energies. As such, it isn't hard to see where this could be used as a tool to raise your child in a healthy environment.

Laila Wah, a master Feng Shui practitioner and Doctor of Acupuncture in the U.S. with more than 30 years experience exploring complimentary medicine, outlines several Feng Shui principles to consider when arranging a nursery. These include the location of the nursery in the house, as well as furniture arrangement, colour and movement in the bedroom.

Choosing the right bedroom With Baby Nursery Bedding

There isn't a large margin for error when deciding which room to place your baby in. A baby is better placed away from stairwells, but not on a floor above the parent's bedroom. According to Wah, if this happens the child has the upper hand and as the common saying goes "rules the roost". A baby should also never be placed over a garage or empty space in the house, and should be somewhere where it will not be disturbed by excessive noise. Feng Shui also suggests a baby boy should be placed in a nursery located in the east and north parts of a house, while a baby girl should be placed in the south, southeast or west parts. If all else fails, it's best to arrange the room so it is in harmony and has a positive flow.

Locating the Crib

Perhaps the most important thing to consider when arranging furniture in a nursery is the location of the crib. The crib should be placed in a command position, the widest angle to the entrance of the room, just as an adults bed is placed in one. The head should be places against a solid wall for protection and grounding, and should not be placed along a wall that is shared with a bathroom or storage room, since this is believed to adversely affect the baby's health. Either side of the crib should be open, so the baby is able to see his caregivers as they enter the room and feel safe and protected. Nothing should be stored or placed under the bed since it impedes the flow of Qi and interferes with sound sleep. Try to keep a child's bed away from electrical outlets since it creates negative energy.

Creating movement

Creating movement in your baby's room does not mean arranging the furniture so you can move better around the room. In essence there should be lots of space in your child's room, but the movement Feng Shui refers to is that of sound and air movement. For soft energy flow this can be achieved by use of a fan kept on a low setting. Soothing music and a mobile wind chime also enhances the energy of a room and can also be used to compliment the flow of energy.

Choosing the right colors

The right colors in a nursery can influence a baby's mood. It has been a popular practice of decorators to use colors to influence mood; blue is calming, yellow is energetic and happy, green is restful, orange invokes enthusiasm, and purple inspires the creative juices. Before you break out the dramatic colors however, Wah insists nursery's be painted in soft colors with appropriate pictures, like the child's artwork. Although bright colors are attractive they can be too stimulating for babies. To find the appropriate shade for the room you can use a Feng Shui bagua, a wheel chart that assigns colours and elements to certain areas in the home, as well as to life aspects such as relationships, careers, and children. If stuck trying to make that decision, the bagua indicates white as the best color for children since it is associated with creativity. If you wanted more color though, do so using soft muted colored furniture.

Eliminating clutter

Babies bring meaning to the word "spoilt" as grandparents, relatives, and parents themselves, shower toys and gifts upon them. Quite soon you're struggling to find space to fit it all. When it comes to the child's bedroom it is important that this clutter is stored elsewhere. Excess clutter of toys around a child can be over stimulating, which can lead to restless sleep, inability to fall asleep, confusion and attention disorders. An over crowded room can also create or assist respiratory problems. Unnecessary clutter can block a baby's creative energy, both physically and mentally, and lead to discouragement. While a much more busy life ensues, it is important that clutter be organized and away from your child.

The right fabric

A point often overlooked is the effect touch can have on a baby's mental growth or wellbeing. Smooth textures such as cotton, cotton knits or velvet promote a sense of calm, quiet, and sleep, while silky textures such as polyester, silk and satin, ignite excitement and action. While shopping around for baby nursery bedding i.e.crib sheets, bumpers, or blankets, choose fabrics that are smooth but not silky.

The principles of Feng Shui are often simple and do not always require the expertise of interior decorators. Negative Chi can often be felt instinctively by people arranging their furniture in a new house, or while looking for a new home. A little research goes a long way when preparing for your child's first few years in the world, but be rest assured, it doesn't take a university education to ground your baby in a positive environment. Trust yourself to know what's right for both you and your baby, and let your imagination point you in the right direction.

Suggestions For Improving a Baby's Room

Decorating your baby's room is an extension of one's self. It mirrors how you perceived and accept parenthood.

Take for instance for a long-time prepared parenthood, one can directly observe that baby's room would be more than complete of basic necessities for a comfortable baby living and usually extends to aesthetic colorful surroundings. The usual set of a baby's crib, baby's portable dresser, water dispenser, side table diaper changer, thermometer and air conditioning unit extends to colorful wall papers, eye catching hanging baby rattles, matching blanket, comforters and baby pillows. To some extent, other luxorious stuff such as built-in senso-round music system are even present. These stuffs are usually present for a well-prepared parenthood.

Other extreme cases parents engage the services professionals, such as architects, interiors designers and even pediatricians to prepare their baby's room for them. These are common to parents who would want to have science take a stake in the preparation of their nursery rooms. The architect would be responsible for the positioning of the baby's room I the house lay-out. He will ensure that there is enough space, enough sunlight can peek through the windows and enough natural air can support a comfortable baby living. The interior designer, on the other hand, is responsible for the visual aesthetics which would increase visibility and colorful awareness of the baby. Finally, the pediatrician will be responsible for ensuring the healthy environment of the baby's room. He will have to ensure that enough temperature is present; the decorated surroundings is free from viral susceptibility; and the furniture used is baby-friendly.

On the contrary for those who have lesser time to prepare for parenthood, often prefer to just have the basic components of a baby's room. The main concern of just providing the basic and as long as the baby is assured of a comfortable living is enough. This is usually for those parents who are on tight-budget and economical. Usually, the baby's room on this type are just make-shift rooms in the house which can they easily transform to a more utility room when the baby grows up to be a toddler or a youngster. Hence, furniture on this type are more of make shift beds and cribs which may be used as a utility table later on. Comforters and pillow cases are usually of general colors and prints which can still be used later as the baby grows up. These rooms are usually free from technical complexities of aesthetic visual colors but more of a practical utilitarian-type of a baby's room.

There are no hard and fast rules on how one should really decorate a baby's room. It still is dependent on how you perceived parenthood and how you accept a newborn into your home. But parents should always keep in kind, that baby's safety and comfortable living is the primary purpose of a baby's room.
