What is a "nursery"?
A nursery is a room in a home designed for the care and comfort of a baby or young child. It typically includes furniture like a crib, changing table, and storage for baby clothes and supplies. Nurseries are often decorated with soft, soothing colors and themes to create a calm and welcoming environment for the child. The room may also have toys, books, and other items to encourage early development. The design of a nursery is focused on safety, comfort, and functionality, providing a space for both the baby and the caregivers.
