Create a space for the baby
If the room is big enough, place a shelf or a curtain so that the baby has his space, with his toys and dolls. You can even wallpaper a wall or hang a picture with children's motifs.

The good thing is that you can delimit the space, so that the decoration remains in total balance.
Do not put the changing table in the room
Children's rooms usually have a changing table for diapers. Without a doubt, it is a very practical and functional option, like the ones we like. But all of these things take up a lot of space in a bedroom, so it's best to look for an alternative, like the bathroom or even the playroom, while respecting the larger master bedroom.

You can't keep all of your baby's things in your parents' room., in general, so it is convenient to create areas in the house where the little one can have space to move and for his things. His room can start as a game room (where to place the changing table as well, as we mentioned before). There you can also have a wardrobe, for example. If you still do not have a room for it, you can create an area in the living room, for example. The important thing is that the home adapts to the little one. It is a way to be able to integrate it and to leave its space for entertainment.
Sharing the closet
At first the baby's clothes will take up very little space, so can make room in the couple's closet or on a chest of drawers (there will hardly be anything that is essential to hang). If you can place one more shelf or piece of furniture in the room, you can use a part to place your clothes, which can be visible, in drawers or in decorative boxes. Sleeping with the baby also means that her clothes are always with us, closer to avoid having to walk from one side of the house to the other.
Organize everything neatly
We just mentioned how convenient it is to have everything close by. Well, in addition to this proximity The essential thing is to keep everything well organized. We already know that where order prevails, there is always a feeling of well-being. Sometimes it can be complicated, especially with the arrival of a baby, but we will get there. Try to keep everything for the baby to one side, to avoid mixing clothes or accessories and then not knowing where we have everything.
Bet on practical furniture
That of sharing a room and sleeping with the baby it will become more bearable thanks to practical and functional furniture. You know that today we have endless options and that's what we love. An example of them can be those that start from being changing tables to become a new chest of drawers to take advantage of the drawers of the same. You can also take advantage of the corner area or corners to introduce shelves or shelves and fill them with all those basic products of each day. Again, the purpose is to be able to have them at hand and well organized.

It is something that is always on your mind, but now sleeping with the baby is a plus of security. Because as it grows so will the worries. Try not to have any type of cable or plug that you can reach and grab. Since we know that in the blink of an eye, they will become interested in everything around them.
