There are so many decisions to be made when you are expecting a baby but when you having twins, you’ll have to decide even more! The first thing you are probably puzzling over is how to create a lovely and practical twin nursery for your children. The nursery is a special place where you are going to be spending a lot of time with your little ones and it needs to be place you are going to love!

How To Create A Twin Nursery Layout?

Go to the space you are going to use as a nursery and use tape to take the measurements of the space. Plot it out on a piece of paper, making sure to mark the doors, windows, heaters, closet and any other fixed furniture. Generally,  there’s three essential zones in the nursery: diapering, sleeping and feeding. Also, think about other important things like storage. Once you’ve identified the openings and fixed furnishings in the sketch of the nursery floor plan, you will be left with the space you can work with.

How To Style A Twin Nursery?

Picking a color palette for the twin nursery will help the space evolve cohesively. When choosing the palette, look for inspiration from things you love or just look around the house and find out what style you have. Keep in mind that you don’t want to pick too many colors. Choose a neutral color and a few more shades to keep the nursery visually balanced. Also, remember that natural lighting will affect the color in the space. Northern light is indirect and makes color appear darker or less saturated while southern exposure casts a warm glow.

What Furniture To Take For A Twin Nursery?

When picking furniture for your twin nursery design, the cribs are likely to be your biggest investment. Consider the sketch of the floor plan you did before and determine whether should go with cribs that are smaller in size or full-size cribs.

You’ll spend a lot of time on the chair-feeding the twins, rocking them to sleep, reading the twins a book or just gazing at their eyes. Therefore, invest in a chair that’s going to be super comfortable.  A nursery chair can be a glider, recliner or a rocker. Some parents decide to opt for a love seat or a sofa instead of the nursery chair, for a twin nursery. That way, there’s enough space for both parents to sit and feed the babies or just hold them.

When designing a nursery for twins, it is imperative that you add as many storage solutions as you can. Babies accumulate so much stuff over time and having designated storage spaces will keep the twins nursery organized and clean at all times. Choose storage options that maximize space such as shelves and bookcases. Use bins and baskets to organize baby’s essentials. Hang closet organizers to store baby’s clothes and increase space in the twins nursery closet.

How To Decorate A Twin Nursery?

Use textures and patterns to give your twins baby room a character. A rug is a key element of the nursery design and will help ground the space while bringing color to the nursery. Look for a rug that is easy to spot clean since you are sure to have some spills. Yet another important element of the design are curtains. Not only will curtains keep light out, but will also dim outside noises allowing the twins to sleep or nap comfortably. Lighting is also an essential nursery decor. Be sure to incorporate both overhead lighting and task lighting to your twins nursery design. A table lamp or a floor lamp placed near the nursery will become invaluable during late night feedings. Don’t forget about artworks or family pics – gallery walls are extremely popular for home decor, and here they will be nice, too. Get inspired by various examples below!
