Preparing for a baby’s arrival is an exciting and hectic time. Not only do you have to purchase a lot of supplies, but you also need to ensure your home is ready for the arrival. Our remodeling contractors at Castle Painting and Remodeling have revamped homes and businesses throughout Atlanta, GA, for over 13 years, including many baby-centric projects. 

A Guide to Preparing Your Home for a Baby

1. Create a Nursery

Choose a room in your home to create the perfect nursery. Paint one of the smaller rooms in the soft, soothing tone you want, add creative shelving and other storage, and imagine furniture placement options. A remodeling contractor will work around your schedule and pay attention to the smallest details to help you create a wonderful nursery space that meets your needs and budget.

2. Baby-Proof Everything

Baby-proof the entire home to make a safe space for your little one. Latch every cabinet in the house from the countertop down, as well as the oven and trash cans. Use furniture straps to secure televisions, bookshelves, and dressers, and add corner or edge bumpers as necessary. Store medications in locked, out-of-reach cabinets, and use nontoxic cleaning supplies on your floors and other surfaces.

3. Make a Supply List

Craft a comprehensive supply list as a helpful reference. Use it to purchase everything you require, including clothes, diapers, night lights and baby monitors, as well as a diaper pail with a liner. You also need furniture, such as a high chair, bassinet, crib and mattress, hamper, changing table, and dresser. Additional items include bottles, health and safety products, gentle baby soap and shampoo, and teething rings.
