While not many families have the luxury of devoting such a big space for a newborn, young parents can certainly pick up some nifty space planning tips from this roomy nursery designed by Space Factor!
Make room for a sofa (or armchair if space is limited) to be placed next to the cot for the caretaker to rest while feeding or comforting the baby.
Ensure ample amount of shelves and table top space near the cot to faciliate the changing of diapers and clothes better.
Zone the bedroom into play and sleep areas by dividing the space using shelves or cabinets.
Think forward. If the child were to grow up in this room, it needs to accommodate the deluge of books, toys, clothes, and gifts showered on him or her. So it's always good to plan for more storage compartments.
Add visual interest to the space by cladding the doors with decorative elements such as a train track-like design for the washroom's entrace, which can also serve as a hanging rack for clothes.
