Making room for your new plus-one
A comfortable home and sleep setup is always important, but never more so after the arrival of your, well, new arrival. And, since homes don’t grow just because your family does, making your current space work for you and the baby (and your budget) is key.
One room for you and the baby
The good news: you couldn’t ask for a more adorable roommate. The not-as-good news: a solid night’s sleep might be off the cards for a while. Whether it’s just for the first few months, or a longer-term arrangement, these two bedrooms show that a comfy, shared space with your baby is definitely doable.
Having your baby close by is your priority, their safety is ours. This simple crib offers good, safe sleep at one of our lowest prices.
Babies need plenty of love and attention, but not a lot of storage space. For now, a changing table with a shelf below (and a few spots on the hook rail) will do the trick.
This nursing pillow makes feeding time and cuddles even comfier – and safer. The cover is made from pure natural materials, while the filling comprises of recycled PET bottles. Soft, cozy, and more sustainable.
Dividing the room with a curtain gives these parents a feeling of personal space, while keeping the baby close by.
No need for a special nursing chair when a comfy armchair works just as well. When your baby grows up, the chair's neutral upholstery will fit right in with other rooms in the house.
Yay for changing tables that can turn into chests of drawers when little ones graduate from nappies.
A nursery with the next phase in mind
For little ones that grow up so fast, here are two rooms designed to last. Gender-neutral colours, extendable beds, and other smart ideas will see little ones through many milestones, and can be easily reused if baby #2 comes along.
Even if the circus tent ceiling doesn’t stay in town forever, white or pine furniture (including an extendable bed) will always look great, no matter what colour ends up on the walls next.
