Share office and baby's room

Baby room and work area in the same room

The arrival of a child (especially if it is the second) can pose a problem when optimizing to the maximum the space and the functions of all the rooms; If, in addition, one of the parents stays at home during the baby's first months or works at home on a regular basis, it is necessary to have everything at hand and make the most of that time when the newborn is sleeping.

A plausible solution is to share the baby's room with the work area, at least while we have not started to decorate the child's final room, or it is still too early for them to sleep with their older sibling. The aspects to take into account will depend on each particular case, but the main thing is to get a homogeneous feeling despite the fact that each environment will have different needs; for this it is essential to choose well the color of the walls, in a pleasant and relaxing tone for the child and that at the same time provides energy and helps concentration when sitting at the computer: Blue, green, soft yellow, lilac ... or any other color in a pastel range.

A comfortable chair with wheels can function as a common point between both areas, perfect to spend several hours working, feeding the baby or comforting him in his crib, as we see in the images above. In this other room that Melissa Dell presents to us, the use of multipurpose furniture of storage, choosing the same container model for the office closet and the changing table, and taking full advantage of the shelves with boxes of different sizes where you can store everything from stationery to hygiene objects for the baby (all from Ikea ).

Despite having the same finishes on the walls and furniture, the difference in spaces is perfectly appreciated through small decorative motifs, or thanks to the armchair and the lamp that create a «screen» effect between the desk and the crib. Sometimes it is possible that the same bedroom will eventually be used for guests or grandparents, in which case it would not hurt to place a sofa bed or a trundle bed in a corner (if it fits us); We will surely appreciate it to take a nap in a moment of rest!
