The “living room” is generally just that. It is used for so many different activities that it could land up feeling cluttered and chaotic. The few that spring to mind are TV, work, exercise, play, home schooling and entertaining. That’s a lot!
It is possible to design it so that you have a separate baby play area whilst keeping your adult living space gorgeous and comfortable. It will help you to feel calm, serene and organised. Here are some tips on how to achieve a little zen in your hectic life.
- Place an ARK play mat as your focal point to work from in your desired kiddie area - the corner of a room works well.
- Choose the colour and design of your play mat that will compliment your adult space. It will also double up as the best exercise mat you will ever find.
- Buy a low storage cupboard or maybe an old vintage chest that can double as a play surface for you baby as they grow older.
- Add in baskets for storage. There are so many gorgeous colours and sizes to choose from - Ashanti Design is a great place to look.
- Keep baby changing paraphernalia in a section of the cupboard so that you can do what you need to without leaving the room
- Keep your colour palette consistent throughout
- Add some cool baby chairs or bean bags into the space so that you have the comfort of knowing they can’t fall from great heights.
