Baby shower decoration ideas for a small living room

Marquee letters, one statement wall and a tidy favour table make even a compact room feel special.

Start with the moment

Decide what the guest of honour should feel when they walk in — surprised, celebrated or relaxed — and let that decide the scale of the setup.

Keep the palette tight

Two main colours and one metallic accent read clearly in photos. Add texture with foil, chrome or floral elements rather than more colours.

Book the right slot

Choose a slot that ends at least an hour before guests arrive so there is time for photos without rushing.
