He is probably needing a larger cut, beginning to take an interest In toys, in fact, just getting to the nge when he enjoys his surround-

The planning of such a room is often more enjoyable than the preparation of his fit frilly cot.

The small bedroom over the hall will make most attractive baby'k room, but if you have the choice of room at the front and back of the house, choose the quieter side and the annier aspect.

A room which is not directly over the living-room is best, but if this is unavaldable, n food floor coverint will do much to denden saund from below.

Safety First Floors

Cork linoleum one of the most satisfactory coverings for the floor in a baby's room; it can be left unpol- Jabed and is easily cleaned. by a rub over with a dry mop.

Cork carpet is a good alternative if you intend to dispense with rugs alto- gether, as it is warm to baby's feet when he starts to crawl; rubber would not be expensive for a small roon

When choosing the curtains, decide on those whileli enn be easily washed or sponged. A material witch can be used as a screening curtain is best for n child's room, I Am, as you will need something to soften the light on after- Joons when Baby takes his nap in his cot..

* Curtain ninon tu a soft pastel colour is a good material for this purpose, and it looks delightful with à frined hem. O ilk is translucent, too, and it can be had in really pretty Borul patterns.

Practical Furnishing

might consider this finish as an alter- native to a coloured one.

In buying furniture, it is wire to look a year or two ahead, and chouse pleces which will last baby until he is five or Alx at least. Cot versus bedstead in one example.

If baby is a climber you will probably feel happier about him in n cot with a drop side, but there are also come at- tractive miniature wooden bedstends with wooden sidepieces which can be removed na he grows older.

A small-sized wardrobe is essential. One of the niceal I have seen has han ing space at one side, a cupboard for

Table On Wheels

Later on, especially if baby is a girl. you could add a miniature dressing table with a round frameless mirror. This furniture can all be had enamelled in pale colours and decorated with nursery rhyme figures

Don't forget a low nursing chair for yourself with a comfortably shaped back, and, while Baby in still small, you will probably find a low table on wheels A great help at hath time.

It is enamelled and made on the lues of a ten trolley, but has a lift-up top which reveals compartments for everything you are likely to need.

A toy cupboard is useful, too. This should be chosen in a null size so that its le owner can open and shut it

mself, and it is an encouragement to tidinees as baby gets bigger.

A pedestal bedside cupboard. In whitewood and enamelled inside un out, makes good playbox, and if fitted with rublier castors is exally pushed across the room.

Lighting is important, because a strong glare of any kind is bad for a young baby's eyes. I would choose an enclosed shade inade of tinted obscured glass.

Don't Wake Him

It is also a good idea to keep a small lamp or torchi somewhere handy out- side the bedroom that you can avoid switching on the light if you have to go into the room after baby la asleep. Warmth will only be needed at bedtime in winter. A small portable heater will just take the chill of the room on these occasions.

you stick to clear pale shades. Avold the heavy, dark colours, and keep, if possible, to a two-col- our scheme, as this creates a restful atmo- sphere.

If the room is small. It is best to choose a plain colour for the wolls and decorte them with an applied nursery frieze or cut-out decorations later on. The celling should be plain, and preferably the same colour as the walks.

The warni peach shade of pink is good for walls and ceiling of a room which does not get much sun, and you can combine with pale green or forget-me-hat blue for curtains and enamelled furalture.
