Imaginative and energetic kids need a space that serves as a soothing retreat where they can come into their own, play and be themselves.

INVEST IN COMFORTABLE FURNITURE

“Invest in well-made, child-friendly and neutral nursery furniture that can grow with the baby. Include comfortable seating options for reading, relaxing and spending quality time together,”says Anusha. You can even repurpose old furniture like a bookshelf which can serve as a room divider or a display for toys.”
