Getting your home ready for life with a new arrival is all part of the excitement when you’re expecting a baby. And, as our guest blogger, Humma Khan, Manager of the Twickenham branch at Big Yellow explains, creating the nursery is just the start of it.
Furnishing and decorating the nursery is, of course, one of the biggest – if not the biggest – change you’ll make in the home in the weeks and months leading up to the big day. For many people, this means converting a room previously used for other purposes – a spare bedroom, a study or a storeroom, perhaps.
However, your tiny newcomer is also going to make a big impact across the entire home. Your kitchen, for example, is about to become home to milk bottles, baby foods, bibs and possibly sterilising equipment – and then later bowls, plates, plastic cutlery and other tots’ mealtime accessories. In the bathroom, meanwhile, there’ll be new accoutrements like sponges, face cloths, changing mat – maybe even a baby bath.
