When my first son came home from the hospital, I realized that there was a major decorating dilemma in my house. Like many parents, he ended up in a bassinet in my bedroom for months. He had a room ready for him, but I just couldn't part with the little guy. The only problem was that his blue and tan plaid bassinet fabric majorly clashed with my spring green walls and vintage style colorful quilt. Of course this was not a major problem in those days, but it did bug me a bit. I think other parents have been in the same situation, so busy getting the baby's room ready that you don't think about the early months when the baby may not even be in his own room.
If I had the chance to do it over, I would have planned for these early months better. When my second was born, I was quick to buy simple white crib bedding to blend with the decor of my bedroom. A plain white changing table blended right in, too.
Another idea for making a shared room work is to find bedding for your bed as well as the crib that works together. Neutral colors, like the ones below, will work with most wall colors and existing furniture.
