Welcoming your new bundle of joy is an exciting experience. However many parents panic once the idea of decorating the baby's new room comes into the picture. Department stores and the internet are rife with hundreds of items to fill the room, ranging in price from a few cents to thousands of dollars.

Having a budget and being creative can go a long way in crafting the perfect, affordable living space for your little one. And even though you are saving money, your new baby's room need not be boring and uninviting. Below are some tips on how to create unique and fun items for the newest member of the family.

Furniture
Heirloom, hand me down or used furniture can be used to spruce up the little buddle of joy's room in many ways. Sanding, refinishing or painting a piece of furniture to fit the room can liven up any living space. You can also add fabric to the piece to the outside of the piece, such as on the doors of a wardrobe or the tops of book shelves. Consider also using the dresser as a changing table as well – just put comfortable padding on the top of the dresser and voila – two pieces in one.

Decorations
As far as decorations, consider something clever, like taking pictures from calendars and framing them with hand-painted frames to adorn the walls. Christmas ornaments, small toys, or fun foam cut-outs can serve as inexpensive and eclectic mobiles. For the baby's crib, considering using fabric scraps, handed down clothes or other items to create your own unique decorative quilt. Another popular decorating option is to purchase large wooden, foam or plastic letters and hanging them on the walls, spelling out your child's name, initials, or the theme of the room. Other types of painted baby gifts, such as shoes, decorative toy boxes, and collages can all be used to add that special touch to the room.
Whatever you decide, there are a myriad of options to choose from when decorating baby's first room. The key is to incorporate them all with using your own personal touch.
