If there’s a baby arriving you’ll want to make sure their nursery is perfect in every way. Of course, you’ll decorate in your own style, but we’re sure you’ll want it to be as comfortable and welcoming as possible.

We understand choosing flooring may not be the most exciting thing in your life right now, but it’s a decision that can make a big difference. We’re talking warm soft and baby-proof, and we’ve a great range of carpets to fit the bill - from a luxurious Saxony to a durable yet soft Twist.

Bringing up a baby is never child’s play but life can be made that bit easier by planning your nursery basics. So put the paint brush to one side for a minute and read our top tips:

1: Everything revolves around the changing table
Put all those essentials within easy reach, such as nappies, rash cream, baby wipes and clean Babygrows.

2: Cut the clutter
Keep the floor clear. The last thing you need is to stub your toe on a toy or trip over a book just when you’ve got your baby to sleep.

3: The beauty of black-out blinds
A neat trick to turn sunny days into night-time. It will be much easier to get your baby to sleep.

4: Be colour-wise
Not everything that goes into a baby stays there. So pale colours may not be the best idea in the world.
