The Peaceful Nursery

Preparing a Home for Your Baby with Feng Shui

by Laura Forbes Carlin and Alison Forbes

 

The nursery is the most important room in any expectant parents’ home, and every parent wants to ensure that it will be as warm, inviting and healthy as possible for their new baby. Designing this special space is also an opportunity for expectant parents to prepare mentally and physically, for the changes to come.

 

Through stylish photographs and practical, easy-to-understand design tips, home and lifestyle experts Laura Forbes Carlin and Alison Forbes show expectant parents how – by applying principles gleaned from interior design, Feng Shui, healthy, green living and their own parenting experience – they can:

 

- Create a balanced and peaceful nursery. – Make healthy, earth-conscious choices when selecting paint, fabric, toys and furniture. -Enjoy the practical and emotional benefits of a streamlined and clutter-free home. - Set up a nursery that encourages good sleep for the baby. - Prepare and organize nursing, changing, bathing, sleeping and play areas. - And many more helpful step-by-step guidelines for creating a nursery that will nurture their baby’s mind, body and spirit – as well as their own – during their transition into parenthood.
