Investing in such furniture is a very cost-effective and intelligent move to make, as this type of furniture will last the test of time because of its versatility and ability to grow with your child.

2. Create multipurpose activity areas

Choosing to create multipurpose activity areas will allow the toy bin and activity area to quickly evolve into the laptop and docking station area. As your child grows older and his/her interests change, it’s important that this activity area is easy to renovate in order to cater for any newfound interests and hobbies.

Following the above three pieces of advice will help you to create a space that’s flexible, practical, and very cost effective to maintain. Because you’ll want the room to also be age-appropriate, functional and a happy place to spend time in, the age of your child and his/her personality will be two of the main factors to take into consideration when it comes to updating the design of the room.
