nursery room layout help

5 years ago

Really struggling on the layout of our 9 month sons nursery. We have a stokke round crib and a rocking chair and will need to add cupboard or chest of drawers some toy storage and leave good floor space for him to play. There’s two doors into the room and a fireplace (the black rectangle). Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hiya, I've come up with some options for your nursery with the attached floor plan which is to scale along with some additional design suggestions. I think option 1 or 2 work quite well. With option 1 your son has plenty of room to play :) I've also added a little side table to put things down when you are sitting in the rocking chair.

I wasn't sure what the exact measurements were for the crib as there were variations so I've taken the measurements from here: https://www.stokke.com/GBR/en-gb/nursery/stokke-sleepi/1045.html

For the rocking chair, I figured you'd want to be comfortable so I sourced this one and it looks quite stylish also. https://www.thebabyroom.co.uk/Gaia-Baby-Serena-Rocking-Chair?fv=13231&gclid=Cj0KCQiArqPgBRCRARIsAPwlHoXHoxdoOHHK-95LEeT9ML2oTrg1tChZYtVmA9Ozg03hf9XBjiY1e2gaApeEEALw_wcB

As you have quite a lot of room I've sourced a fairly good sized toy storage and in the future if you wanted to add a wardrobe you have plenty of space. https://www.gltc.co.uk/collections/toy-storage/products/abbeville-long-shelf-unit-cloud-grey

Let me know your thoughts, I'd be happy to help :)

Hi thank you so much for your reply and layout options. I love the rocking chair you added. I have a picture of the room if this helps? The floor will be varnished dark this week.

If you put the main tv in the area with the French doors - could you see your son from the kitchen ? ( it looks like you could )... I've put together a very quick sketch of an idea to make the most of that beautiful fireplace nook - with a couple of fireside chairs - have either a round display table ( flowers /family photos etc) in the bay or add seating and use as an alternative dining / homework table ? With your 2.5 and 2.3m sofa in the French room end ... If you enable tv viewing /games etc in a tablet it could open up more opportunity too ?! Even if it's fixed in different places rather than hand held if that could be a problem ? [marketing note - this is an example of a sketch consultation service that OnePlan offer . Normal rates would be £35ph. But in this instance, we are happy to have helped this Houzzer FOC ]

Hi Yasemin, I have added a very basic templated 3D model to give you the gist of how I’d lay out the space. Please take no notice of the styling, the templates are just what I had to hand on the computer. So I would use bench seating along the back wall for your dining table seating. This would allow you to push the table back further than you can with conventional chairs and thus keep traffic flow unrestricted through the space. There are a wide range of benches available these days from basic and beautiful wooden constructions (just add cushions if you wish), to sumptuous fully upholstered luxury pieces. There is also room for a sideboard for your tableware, you could create a beautiful sightline out of this by adorning it with table lamps and/or decorative accessories. Some wall art would be great here too. I wasn’t sure what the space was at the other end of the room (with glazed door), is this your main entrance? If it is you will need an outerwear storage facility of some sort. If its not a main traffic route then it could be a lovely space for a desk and study area. Good luck with your new apartment. L :)

Where are your power points? The vast radiator covers seems the natural centre of the room to refocus the interest, so reorganise around that point with TV flat on wall. Conversation sofas either side could balance the room and make it more intimate or placing an L/corner sofa parallel to the existing radiator could provide you with a frame if the access to other rooms fron the front door is through this room. Currently all furnishing are pushed into the corners. You can easily move some power points and sky points and conceal the cables. Reinstating a fire place if the chimney brest has been removed can be a big job. You will be restricted to an alternative heating source, so any solid fuel burner could be expensive without an existing flue/chimney. You would be looking at electric wall mounted solutions or faking it entirely with a mantel/fire/hearth, so this then becomes a styling question for you.

Layout Help with Kitchen & connecting 2 rooms

I would give serious consideration to using the garage. It will likely involve removing load bearing walls but will be cheaper than an extension. Otherwise you can remove the remaining walls between sunroom and kitchen and this will connect the spaces a bit more. The rooms have lovely light.

Also option 1 or 2 would work best as there is a radiator under the window

Hiya Yvonne, I'm so glad you liked the different layout options. The room looks fab and very spacious! I agree option 1 or 2 would probably work best. I think option 2 will allow you to space out more.

Good luck! Rukmini

I love that rocking chair too, but if your baby is crawling around and tries to pull himself up on the chair, or leans against it and it starts rocking, I foresee little feet or fingers under the rocker?

Beautiful room.

I think that this layout could work too. Would replace the sofa with toy storage
