 Changing Area: Baby’s safety is the first priority. While using bed as a changing area it is ideal to have all the necessary items in arm’s reach so that you don’t have to take a eye and hand off the baby. Keep Necessary items like hand-sanitizer, lotion, diapers, clothes, wipes etc near to the bed in either side of the bedside table  with drawers or can buy these kind of trolleys online ….. If you think you can invest in  chest of drawers which can be used to store more items in a segregated manner for now and later can be used for keeping toys  games and other kids items, just do it!  You need a bin for diaper trash and separate bin  for dirty clothes which can be useful during changing time. An efficient layout makes for fast changes to prevent a fussy, squirming baby without compromising his safety.

Sleeping Area:Until becoming Mom you might not have good sleeping routine and might not felt any need of setting up the proper environment for good sleep. Now getting to know about this may help you later .Getting your baby in the mood for sleep is critical. Sending the right cues will make this process much easier, you can sit on a comfortable chair  read stories,or sing songs, it’s great if  are buying a rocker for those difficult times when the baby is giving hard time to sleep and you too also want a nap or relax while rocking the baby . It’s just as important to make this a comfortable place for you; you may be spending a lot of time in there.  It’s ideal to put a pouf or big cushion under your feet.
It will be good if you can place the chair near to some shelf or counter with accessible books. As the baby grows older this can help you to have  cozy, relaxing mumma and baby time. Don’t forget to use dimmer light or table lamp as this will help baby to soothe down and give a cue that it is the time to sleep.If you want to place a crib try not to put it near to the window. As light will  not allow them to sleep and also the air-draft is not safe for the little one.
If the changing area ( which can be bed )is near the window .This will keep the little one busy and giving him/her the opportunity to receive the natural light between their sleep times.
Using of black out blind can serve a  boon . As it helps the baby to sleep faster and for long hours. Some babies gets cranky and crying when they don’t get good sleep. Setting up this kind of dim light space even during the day time will make them sleep better .

Clothes storage dresser or the wardrobe: You need a Wardrobe or a  part of your already existing Almirah, for keeping their different sizes of the clothes or other daily used items which you might have got in your baby shower.To store and organize it in baskets, organizers and small bins can serve the purpose in a hassle free way. Keep different size of clothes in different baskets or in one use seggregators .Different Baskets can be used for Shoes & Accessory, Toys & Teeters, Lotions & First Aid, accessories, Diapers & Wipes,baby sheet and bath towels. The items which you need near to changing area can be kept in the side drawer of the bed or you can buy plastic drawer organizer from online .It’s available on amazon.in too.The items which you don’t need for this immediate purpose can be kept in your wardrobe with some bins or baskets .So it can easily be take out and kept again as per the requirement.

Play area: You can use toy bin to keep the toys or if you already have a open shelves it will serve good purpose of keeping it and using it whenever child want can access on their own too. Place  a comfortable rug or play mat(washable) in the kids play area . Ensure that the kids bed or crib is not close to the toy area as this can distract them while getting into the sleep.

Few important points to consider while doing up the space for baby.

1. Don’t get the baby room or any part of the house painted long time before or after the baby is born as it contains harmful VOC’s.
