From baby room to children's room

Changing from a nursery to a nursery or toddler's room can be fun but also challenging. You want to create a space that is both fun and functional for your little one, without losing sight of safety. Here are tips to make the transition smooth. Here is my personal story about how I did that, and ideas and tips for the nursery.

When is your toddler ready for a new children's room with toddler bed?

This can be very personal and there are many different reasons why you want to make this transition. The main reason is the safety consideration. If they start climbing over the bars of their cot, sleeping in a toddler bed becomes dangerous. Another reason is, for example, that you no longer use your changing table. Or the cot moves on to a younger sibling, causing the eldest to go to a toddler bed. Another possibility is that your child simply outgrows the 120x60 cot. He or she still fits in the baby cot, but this is actually not really comfortable anymore. For me personally, I was pregnant with my second child and I wanted to decorate the baby's room. As a result, the furniture shifted, and my oldest son was ready for a toddler's room.

At what age does your toddler go from a nursery to a nursery?

Many parents turn the baby's room into a toddler bed when their son or daughter is two to 3.5 years old. Our son was 2.5 years old, but if I didn't have a second child on the way, I had waited until he was really potty trained. The most important thing is that you think your child is ready. Around this age, they also develop other interests! The bed that was there used to be very cute, but now your child is ready for a room where you can also play. It's time to turn that cute baby room into a funnursery toddler.

" A toddler bed is different from a junior bed . "

 

A toddler bed is 70x140 (sometimes 150). This bed is suitable up to an age of 2 to 5 years, depending on the height of your child. A junior bed is suitable from 2 years with the size 80x160.

Which wardrobe should I choose for my toddler room?

For choosing a wardrobe I can give you the following tips. Number 1 the available space, go up. Make use of the available space as much as possible. Number two, go for a timeless closet so that the closet can last in any future style of the room. Number three, the inside of the closet. Do you have the idea that your child hangs everything neatly on a hanger? Then choose hanging space. Otherwise, choose drawers or shelves. Number four are you going for drawers or doors? Drawers can be neatly placed in rooms. Doors take up a lot of space. But if you take sliding doors, you have solved that disadvantage.

A wardrobe is a piece of furniture that you use every day. I have therefore opted for a high-quality piece of furniture. Remember that your child will eventually want to dress himself. Then he must also be able to open and close the cabinet himself. A children's closet for your toddler should be spacious so that all your little one's clothes and things can be neatly stored in it.
