5 Must Do’s for a Sleep Safe Nursery

This post is bought to you by David Jones – Styling, photography and thoughts by Minty.

With Red Nose Day just around the corner, we were delighted to be tasked with designing a beautiful nursery that ticks the boxes of the Red Nose Safe Sleeping Guidelines.  As Red Nose’s official bed linen partner, the Sheridan Baby range, available at David Jones, was a natural choice to create this serene space.

Textural, neutral tones reminiscent of warm summer days were key to creating our modern nursery look and feel. Importantly, we have dressed the cot with a luxurious 100% GOTS certified organic cotton sheet, and kept the cot clear of cushions and toys.

We kept the space around and above the cot clear to keep baby safe, and added plush cuddly toys and beautiful nursery accessories from the extensive Sheridan Baby range.

Hang the cutest towels and robes on simple hooks, and use practical shelving for everyday essentials, displayed beautifully in rattan baskets (hello trend alert!).

Add a beautiful play mat, some gorgeous blocks and a softly draped blanket – and voila! We love the stunning simplicity of this space and can be rest assured knowing that all Sheridan Baby designs are crafted for quality, safety and comfort.

our top 5 tips for a sleep safe nursery

  • Choose a safe cot that meets Australian safety standards
  • Use a clean, firm and flat mattress
  • Tuck sheets and blankets in firmly around baby (or use a safe sleeping bag)
  • Keep your cot clear of pillows, doonas, soft toys and bumpers
  • Avoid mobiles above the cot
