FAQs
How much does it cost to furnish a nursery?
The average family in the UK spends over £1000 on furniture and decor.
Where to buy nursery furniture sets?
Have none of our top picks taken your fancy? We know that everyone's tastes are completely different when it comes to furniture and décor, so you may just want to have a browse and see what's available yourself. Luckily, there are plenty of places where you can shop nursery furniture sets online, here are just some of our favourites:
When should you put together baby furniture?
Many parents decide to start decorating the nursery in the second trimester. By this point in your pregnancy, you should hopefully have a little more energy compared to your first trimester, so should feel more up to getting everything ready.
It may be a good idea to put together your bubba’s wardrobe and changing table first so you can start organising outfits and changing essentials before they arrive. Of course, your little one won’t be moving into their new room straight away so don’t put too much pressure on yourself to make sure their room is completely finished before they arrive. The cot can definitely wait until after your little one is born.
