You may have been planning for a baby or it might have taken you a bit by surprise – either way the arrival of a baby will mean an adjustment not just to lifestyle but also the home.
First of all there is the nursery to think about. While the baby should be in a cot in next to its parents in those first months of life, eventually he or she will need to be moved to another bedroom so that they and you can get some much needed sleep without getting woken up on a regular basis.
The chances are that by the time you are having a baby, you will already have a house or somewhere to live in presumably with a spare room that can be transformed into a child’s bedroom. This room will probably have been used as guest bedroom or storage space for a while so now the challenge will be to move all that stuff out so that you can redecorate.
This can be a challenge if your house or apartment is small, so an ideal solution is to use self-storage if you want to hang on to furniture and other items rather than sell them on ebay or give them away to friends.
Getting rid of the clutter means you can make a fresh start and decorate the room as you want it ready for your new arrival.
