If you’re tight on budget and looking to go down the neutral route, you should definitely pay a visit to Matalan as they do a range of nursery decoration products that can get you to kit it out for less than £100. We featured their previous range which is one of our most popular posts and shows the demand for budget baby nursery gear.
It is very cute and bear-centric so if you’re anything like me and get a bit nervy around this type of stuff, I’d mix it with in with some jazzier pieces to not only balance it out but to liven up the room a little. Try wall stickers….
In the meantime, Matalan don’t sell online but you can go to your nearest store.
Prices are, for example, £18 for a cot bumper, £9!!! for a baby mobile, £9 for a changing mat or cot tidy or sleep bag, £8 for a changing mat and other bargain prices!

Aztec, an etailer that sells a lot of crocheted and knitted home accessories as well as clothing has got brilliant reductions on although stock is limited.
The best bargain for me would have been Converse boots at around £10 each. They have limited sizes left in the colours (if your child has feet sized 2-4 you are likely to be in more luck) and this is almost 54% off! They do recommend buying one size up as these come up small.
They also have very limited amounts of Hunter Wellies for both kids and women, with the best bargain being size 7 light blue ones for women now £25 instead of £50.
They have loads of stuff reduced, from Christmas decorations, to blankets, to baby and childrens clothing - I’d set aside some time to have a good virtual rummage! Good luck!

There may be a credit crunch but you can still do super stylish on a budget if you know just where to look. When it comes to your baby nursery, I’m all for statement pieces that really accentuate the room and put some soul in, and it doesn’t have to be expensive.
Take this multi-tasking ‘Alphabet’ handkerchief, comforter, or in this case, wall hanging. Created by British designers Darrell Gibbs and Julia Harding of design house Sukie, they have used a simple, screen printed illustration on recycled materials and made it super useful.
It’s a great size at 50 X 50 cm and is 100% cotton and great value at £8.50 when you consider how much you can use this.
A super budget buy from the fab Little Baby Company. You can also get a butterfly version and a deer version for the same price.
To frame it as a picture without spending the earth, I’d check out Ikea.

I featured these Chalkboard Storage Bins from Matalan recently on Bambino Goodies and they are perfect budget buy for BBG readers.
I found them at Matalan and they come in three colours for a bargain £3 each! Bargain-o-rama!
The website has no information about materials or size and worst of all you can’t buy online! Pet peeves aside; I still think these are worth a trip to your local Matalan where you may well come across some other budget gems.

How fun is this? I personally am not a big chalk fan, but all kids like to use chalk.
It comes in 4 sheets which are very easy to put up and can be removed and repositioned if you so want to. Put it in the playroom, kitchen, or wherever you want to use it. It wipes clean easily so it can be reused over and over.
Includes chalk.
Available from Letterbox for £14.99.
