New parents have the exciting opportunity to create a special space for their little one. While it’s natural to want the very best for your newborn, there are smart ways to design a delightful nursery while keeping in mind what furniture can be used after the nursery days.
By choosing versatile pieces and focusing on what truly matters, you can craft a cozy and functional room that will adapt as your child grows, making the most of your nursery investment for years to come.
Embracing the concept of adaptable nursery design, savvy parents are discovering the joy of selecting versatile furniture that seamlessly evolves with their family’s needs. Annalisa Thomas, founder of Oilo Studio, a luxury brand specializing in nursery gliders and recliners, has solutions for this very purpose.
Here, she presents six ways to repurpose your glider chair long after your little one has outgrown the nursery.
- Living Room Lounging
Transform your living space with the versatile comfort of your glider chair. Its reclining feature and gentle rocking motion create the perfect spot for unwinding after a busy day. Annalisa Thomas suggests, “Position it thoughtfully for TV viewing, but be prepared – its soothing qualities might just lull you into a nap during your favorite show!”
- Home Office Breaks & Brainstorming
Elevate your home office with a dedicated relaxation and brainstorming nook. “You could set the glider chair up in one corner and position it so that it looks out of a window onto a peaceful scene, or arrange some plants and calming artwork around it to create the right atmosphere for a mental recharge,” says Annalisa. “If you keep a notebook and pen handy, it could also become the perfect brainstorming or journaling spot.”
- Meditation Zone
The rocking back-and-forth motion of the glider chair is perfect for relaxation. The chair can help get you into the right mindset for peaceful meditation. “You can amplify the peacefulness by positioning the chair in a quiet corner of your home and making sure you’re surrounded by plants, suitable artwork, or a calming view, for the perfect meditation zone,” says Annalisa.
- Out On The Porch
Extend the comfort of your glider to your outdoor living areas. Place it on a covered porch or patio to create a cozy spot for enjoying nature’s beauty. Annalisa suggests, “Protect your glider with weather-resistant materials or bring it indoors during inclement weather. Pair it with a charming side table for refreshments, and you’ll have the perfect setting for peaceful outdoor moments.”
- Bedroom Wind Down
Enrich up your bedtime routine with a glider chair strategically placed in your bedroom. “This dedicated space promotes a screen-free wind-down ritual,” Annalisa explains. “Whether you prefer reading or listening to soothing music, the gentle rocking motion will help prepare your mind and body for restful sleep. Add a small side table for your favorite nighttime beverage to complete this pre-sleep experience.”
- Guest Room Conversation Piece
Delight your visitors with the unique comfort of a glider in your guest room. “It serves as an intriguing conversation piece while also adding a touch of luxury to your guest’s stay, ensuring they feel relaxed throughout their visit,” Annalisa says.
Annalisa Thomas of Oilo Studio commented:
“It’s not just gliders that can transition from nursery furniture into something more versatile. If you pick correctly, the furniture in your nursery can grow with your child, saving you from buying new furniture once they’re a toddler or even a teenager.
“For example, you can opt for a convertible crib that transforms into a toddler bed and eventually a full-sized bed, or consider a changing table that doubles as a dresser. Once the diaper days are over, you can simply remove the changing pad and use it for years to come as regular storage. Open shelving units are another versatile option, as they can store baby essentials early on but later serve as book or toy storage as your child grows, or be used as storage units in other parts of the house.”
