- Bookshelf: A bookshelf with age-appropriate books and educational toys.
- Night light: A soft light that can be left on during the night to help comfort the toddler.
- Safety gates: Safety gates at the bedroom door and at the top and bottom of any stairs to prevent falls.

How to decorate a toddler’s bedroom?
Decorating a toddler’s bedroom can be fun and exciting, but it’s important to keep in mind their safety, comfort, and developmental needs. Here are some tips for decorating a toddler’s bedroom:
Choose a theme:
A popular way to decorate a toddler’s bedroom is by choosing a theme that reflects their interests, such as animals, sports, or their favorite cartoon characters. You can use this theme to guide your choices in bedding, wall decor, and accessories.
Use bright colours:
Toddlers love bright colours, so consider incorporating vibrant hues into the room. You can use a mix of colors or choose a colour palette that complements your theme.
Incorporate texture:
Toddlers are curious and love to touch and explore different textures. Consider incorporating soft and plush textures into the room through bedding, rugs, and pillows.
Create a cozy reading nook:
Reading is an important activity for toddlers, so create a cozy reading nook with a comfortable chair, a bookshelf, and soft lighting.
Display their artwork:
Encourage your toddler’s creativity by displaying their artwork on the walls of their bedroom. You can use colorful frames or hang them with clips on a string.
Add removable wall decals:
Removable wall decals are an easy way to add a pop of colour and interest to the room without making a permanent change.
Hang curtains or shades:
Curtains or shades can help darken the room for nap time or provide privacy. Choose child-safe options that are easy to operate.
