Even if toddlers grow up, their stuff doesn’t.
Nursery bedding sets are an investment that will last for years, but it may be impractical to throw them off just because they are not serving their “purpose”. It is essential to give your old sets a new life. By reusing old sets, you can save hundreds of dollars by reusing old sets and creating unique decor for your living space. It is also sustainable!
A fresh piece of 'equipment' can certainly liven up any space. The possibilities are endless, from beds, bookcases, rocking chairs, couches, and desks. Redesigning a baby bed and learning about reusing old items will be fun.
Here are some ideas to makeover an old nursery bedding set into something new, fresh, and stylish!
Turning The Cribs To Lovely Benches
Is it vital to spend so much money on outdoor furniture? Why not turn the baby bed into a comfy wooden bench instead? As long as the furniture you use is still durable, you can use it in your nursery. You won't have any problems sitting comfortably. Put the benches in different corners of the garden if you have several nursery furniture sets. There could be a clothes tree nearby, on the terrace (or on the balcony), near the fence, or on the porch. It is sturdy but still comfortable to sit on.
Making A Practical Magazine Rack
Disassembling the baby bed visually is the most exciting part. A typical piece of furniture may offer a surprising array of possibilities you do not realise. If you take the fence components (or the parapets, as they are called in different ways) and assemble them differently, the result will be pretty impressive. Place a medium-sized magazine rack in a corner (in the hallway or perhaps in the bathroom). Magazines can be stacked up or hung out like clothes to dry. There's something catchy about the last method. Discover how to make corner shelves for your home as well.
Crafting A King Size Flower Box
Instead of the mattress, place a large container filled with soil on the frame of the baby bed. Ensure it is integrated smartly, so plants get what they need (water, light). You could add a drainage system. This table looks excellent on a terrace (or balcony), in the garden, or next to a tree. However, you should ensure it isn't too heavy if you wish to transport it easily. Alternatively, you might want to mount wheels at the bottom of its legs.
Repurposing The Bed To A Swing Seat For Your Porch
You may also remodel your bedding set into a romantic swing seat for your porch. The swing seat must be able to support the weight of the ceiling if it is installed on the terrace. In other words, the beams are held up by at least two people (100 kg). It will be desirable for adults to sit in the hanging seat, often seen in playgrounds. You will have a great evening time if you put on some comfy pillows. So that the rocking is smooth, the rocking structure should be made of light wood or plastic. Use colourful ribbons or papers to wrap the ropes.
Giving It Back To The Kids: A Play Table
The baby crib can be transformed into a marvellous playground by installing a gliding board. It is not only fun for the kids to play with toys on the table, but they can also draw, write, and paint. The board can be installed in their bedroom and serve many purposes. Hooks can be attached.
