Little treats
- Levi Sachrowitz's parents live in Ilovo, Johannesburg, and his nursery is a calm, clutterless space created by his mom, Caryn. She wanted something a little different.
Plan ahead
- Keep the future in mind with big furniture buys.
- This chest of drawers, used as a compactum, will easily make the transition from nursery to toddler's room and beyond.
- Use storage boxes to store nappies or powders and lotions that you want on hand.
- A glass container is clever and chic for storing cotton wool, but be sure to put it where baby cannot knock it over.
TIP:
Use floating boxes or shelves above the changing station to stack receiving blankets or nappies within arm's reach.
Décor delight
- Select a colour scheme for your nursery and try to stick with it.
- A nursery should be a calm and serene room where you and the baby feel comfortable and happy.
- We especially love the "Levi" wall art, created by Milk Deco (milkdeco.co.za) and the stripe and polka dot combo on the walls.
- The storage stairs are another beautiful and clever element.
- Each of the stairs has a drawer where anything from toys to books and shoes can be stored.
- Behind the nursery door Caryn has hung little animal figurine hooks for towels or receiving blankets.
- Remember to have a wastepaper bin and a wash basket in your nursery to make things easier.
Sitting pretty
- A chair for mom is a must-have for any nursery.
- Here you will spend many hours bonding with your baby, feeding him, rocking him to sleep or just relaxing.
- Select a chair in a neutral colour and one that feels comfy for you.
- Also keep in mind that it will probably be moved to your room or the sitting room once your baby is a bit older.
