Most people work to redesign a room as a nursery have a good idea of how long they have to do the job. With the assumption that it could, but days, months or even years - involved with little information about the actual length of time. And when it became clear why it happened now!
With this uncertainty, the design of the garden for children means more choice of color. Means designing a space that can serve a different purpose, tospecial time comes and then quickly transform into a baby's haven. While this is a tall order, with a few strategies, it can be accomplished with a minimum of fuss.
When planning out the room, keep these principles in mind:
Use Multifunctional Furniture
Some furniture, like dressers and book cases, fit in a guest room as easily as a nursery. Others, like changing tables and cribs, are more specific. However, these need not be only changing tables and cribs. In many cases, manufacturers have designed versions of this furniture that, with some adjustment, lead double lives. Changing tables can be converted to dressers, desks or book stands and cribs can be converted into day beds or even full sized sleigh beds.
Focus on Accents for Decorations
If you paint balloons and pink elephants on your walls, your brother-in-law is not going to feel comfortable sleeping over. This does not mean, however, that you can't have a nicely decorated nursery when the baby comes. For instance, area rugs can be easily stored before and after changing the purpose of the room and, especially with neutral carpet or wooden floors, a variety can work equally well in the same room. You can have a basic black area rug initially and replace it with a blue rug or a pink area rug later on. Alternatively, a nice bamboo rug will fit in with both an adult rustic décor and a playful jungle nursery theme.
Wall pictures can be changed out easily too, as can covers and pillows for chairs and such. Also, while you won't be wallpapering the room at the last minute, adding wall stickers of balloons or stuffed animals can be a nice quick final touch.
Stay prepared for the change. Some things simply don't fit in a room that is not a nursery. A diaper genie can be dressed up as a trash can, but everyone will STILL know what it is. Similarly, bottle warmers, bouncy chairs and play pens are all out of place in a spare room and your guests will be distinctly uncomfortable if you leave a baby monitor on the night stand. This does not, however, mean you should not have uniquely nursery items available and waiting. It just means they must be out of sight or in storage until you need them.
With these or similar ideas as a part of your basic plan, there is no reason to feel intimidated by the idea of having a room that is ready at a moment's notice to go from stylish guest room to cute nursery.
