Toddler Bedroom 101: How to Renovate Their Nursery Into a Big Kid Room

Hello, toddler days! Your baby is now a little kid (where did the time fly?), which means it’s time to renovate their nursery. Here’s everything to help you on your way…   
Remove the Cot Bed Side Panels  
chelsea-toddler-cot-bed Remember, your toddler can move into a bed anytime between 18 months and three and a half years. And if you have a cot bed like the Chelsea Cot Bed, you can simply remove the side rails when the big moment arrives. A classic first bed for your little darling, it can be hand-painted in an array of colours (we’re loving warm white, mushroom grey, and cream at the moment) to effortlessly blend in with the room. What’s more, 15% of sales from The Chelsea Cot Bed are donated to Fertility Network UK, who supports people and families affected by fertility issues.  
Give Their Nursery an Evergreen Makeover 
luxury-GRACE-COLLECTION It’s time to create dreamy, chic interiors for a bedroom that’ll last them years. First step? Match your room style to a Nursery Collection Set from The Baby Cot Shop. If you’re going for a sweet, delicate vibe choose the Grace Rose Collection Set, featuring a floating Canopy and elegant Pillow. Then there’s the charming Royal Blue Collection Set with its charming navy, white, and gold Duvet Cover and Bunny Blankie. We also suggest brightening up their room with these positive prints – the Hope Rainbow Print, Love Rainbow Print, and Kindness Rainbow Print, which all look super Pinterest-worthy hung in a row.    
Switch the Furniture Up

When you opt for the ultra-luxurious Cadogan Changing Unit with its removable changing tray, it easily transitions into a stylish chest of drawers. What’s more, it comes in the option of 4 or 7 drawers to suit your nursery space. That’s a big thumbs up from us.   
Toddler-Proof the Room

They are becoming curious little beings, after all. To create a safe space for your little one, ensure electrical hazards and wires are out of reach, whilst it’s also recommended to secure wardrobes, drawers, and any other furniture to the wall to prevent it from falling. When it comes to curtains and blinds, make sure there aren’t any cords dangling down.  Looking for customised fabrics for curtains or linen? Choose from our range of bespoke fabrics to create your perfect space. From Beatrix Potter prints to floral embroidery, there’s something for every bedroom.
