5. Opt for a Closet Nursery

Infants need a separate space for their nursery. In a small home, a designated room may not be possible, hence you can switch to a closet nursery for a happy living. Other such ideas for small nurseries include using a miniature crib and using a changing pad on top of a dresser instead of a changing table.

6. Make the Most of Corners

Another trick to a happy living space with less homework involved is to utilise the corners of the rooms. Try placing tables, desks, and other furniture in the corners rather than the centre of the rooms. Corner shelving will help you show off your home decor as well as free up space! Shopping for corner booths will draw away the attention from the space itself and give the room a little extra space.
