The economic crisis that is plaguing the country and the world can hurt our pockets, but it does not need to limit our decoration options, especially in the baby’s room, which must be prepared with care and care for the arrival of the new member of the family.
With that in mind, we have listed below ideas for you to decorate the baby’s room with good taste and economy.

Setting priorities
Before anything else, make a list of items that may be in your baby’s room, such as:
- Cradle
- Wardrobe
- Armchair
- Decorative objects (teddies, toys, pillows…)
- Sofa
- Comfortable
- Exchanger
- Hygiene kit
- Mesa
- Support bed
- Mat
- Cortina

Of these items, which are commonly seen in baby rooms, try to eliminate those that you will not use, or those that can be incorporated into the room later. Buying everything at once to make the room “complete” can be a very large and useless expense, as some items will not be used, as they can be improvised, or exchanged for something you already have.

Bedroom colors
Forget about combining different paints and wallpapers… a cheap option that will make the baby’s room sophisticated is the combination of a single wall color with different colors in other objects and details in the room.
You can combine a pink wall with a rug and furniture with yellow details, for example. The same goes for the blue on the wall and details like orange bedspreads and pillows.
Rugs, cushions and bedspreads with colors that clash with the wall’s single color, for example, can make up for the “lack of detail” in the wall paint or the emptiness that the lack of wallpaper provides.
And, of course, these are options that will lower your budget, since, even on an elaborate wall, these other elements would probably be part of your room decor idea.

Reusable furniture in the baby’s room
We often have an old dresser, an old sofa, peeling stools that are in line to be donated, or thrown away. If you have a baby on the way, it’s more worth sending them for renovation and revitalization than buying new items for the baby’s room.
The results can be surprising. They will come back looking new and will be much cheaper than new furniture and objects.
Furthermore, there is always the possibility of purchasing all these items second-hand. Sites like OLX and Mercado Livre always have good sellers of cribs, wardrobes, beds…

Breastfeeding armchair
Still in the same vein as reusable furniture, the breastfeeding chair does not have to be, exactly, a breastfeeding chair.
As these armchairs will not remain in the baby’s room for long, as they stop breastfeeding after an average of a year, the armchair can be improvised with any chair that has arms and is comfortable for the mother.

Improvised hygiene kit
Many specialized stores sell ready-made baby hygiene kits and they can be very expensive. You don’t need to buy them from stores, just make them on the fly. You will only need any tray, bottle of water and containers for cotton wool and swabs.

Handmade mobiles
For moms who can’t do without a mobile to distract and keep their baby calm, they can be made by hand, with string, straws, wire, paper, or colored plastic.
Way of doing:
- Cut out the figures for the mobile in shapes of your choice using material or sturdy paper;
- Cut pieces of wire for each figure;
- Attach the wire to the top center of each figure so that they hang;
- With wire cutters, cut a piece of the bottom of a hanger;
- Bend each end of the hanger wire so that it forms two loops at each end;
- Join two ready-made hanger wires like this and attach the figures to the loops at each end;
- Hang the mobile;
