Space and storage plays a very important role in designing a nursery room. Architect Onal Kothari gives simple steps to ready your baby’s nursery room with minimum effort.
- Hunt for the perfect crib: The crib should be the investment piece in the room. With the rising market, you may also find some multifunctional crib design, which can be converted into toddler bed or even full sized bed.
- Changing table: Opt for a freestanding changing table or changing table top with cabinets for flexibility. It is handy and with the passing years, you can transform this changing table into any display console.
- Personalize the space: Decorate the space with your kid’s favourite cartoons or colour abstracts. You can also hang artworks or create crafts.
- Nursery chair: Furniture plays a very important role in a nursery room. So make sure you have a comfortable place to sit, rock your baby crib, to feed and read. This is the space your baby will spend quality time with you. You can consider a rocking chair. If you have got the budget, invest in a piece which can later move to your family living room or any other personal space.
- Creative storage: Tiniest people need more stuff. With toys, books, clothes, travelling bags and much more in hand, select storages that suit your necessities.
- Design for learn with fun: Decorate the nursery space with patterns, variety of colours, art and crafts. Ensure you design the space in such a way that help your kid’s evolve. You can display alphabets, play with lights and shadows, buy or draw geometrical displays.
- Be Practical: Don’t forget to keep a dustbin in the room. Create a space for it. Position all your furniture with contrasting colours and functionality. Ensure that the space is safe for your kids as well.
