Creating a Cozy Baby Room: Our Journey
As our daughter turned five months old and began to sleep through the night, my husband and I decided it was the perfect time to let her have her own space. Thus began the exciting adventure of designing her very own room! 🌙✨
Decorating Her Little World
After a month filled with brainstorming and planning, I’m thrilled to announce that her nursery is finally complete! 🎉 Using a limited imagination along with some inspiring ideas, I transformed a simple room into a warm and inviting space just for her. Before she can express her own preferences, I felt it was only right to create something that aligns with my vision as her mom. (And yes, the wallpaper choice was entirely up to Dad!)
Why I Love SHEIN for Baby Room Decor
During this decorating journey, I found myself relying heavily on SHEIN. The best part? I managed to furnish almost the entire room on a tight budget! 💰 With quick shipping, everything arrived within a week, making the process smooth and stress-free.
The only downside was waiting for the felt wall stickers I ordered from Taobao. In hindsight, if SHEIN had suitable styles available, I would have definitely purchased them there instead!
Essential Furniture Finds
For the furniture, I opted for recommendations from friends and found the perfect items at IKEA. 🙌 I can’t recommend their cribs and storage units enough! Additionally, the three-tier cart from IKEA is an absolute game-changer. It’s perfect for storing essentials such as diapers, milk, lotions, and bibs, making everything super convenient for late-night changes and feedings!
Budget Breakdown
Here’s a quick rundown of what I spent:
- IKEA: $666.75 CAD
- SHEIN: $72.13 CAD
- Taobao: $28.02 CAD
- Amazon: $336.46 CAD

Total Expenses: $1103.36 CAD (excluding tax)
Note: This total doesn’t include the cost of the closet, which I purchased prior to her birth and have since forgotten the details! 🥲
Final Thoughts
Designing my daughter’s room has been a rewarding experience, and I’m delighted with the final look we’ve achieved. From affordable finds to practical furniture options, creating this space has brought me endless joy. Can’t wait to see her grow up in this cozy little haven! 💖
