Nursery/ Guest Room Ideas

BrooklynMommy83

Anyone have any nursery/guest room ideas?

We will be moving in to a 3 bedroom house soon,  My first DD will be 5 when our second DD is born. I plan on having them sharing a room in the future, but not for another 1 1/2 or so.  

My plan is to have the baby in me an SO's room for the first couple of months then transition her into the nursery/guest room until 1 1/2 or 2. during this time if we have overnight guest the baby will stay in our room. And eventually I will have the girls share a room and use the extra room as a guest room/ den.

We will be living 2 hours away from family, so often when they come to visit they will be spending the night

Long story short, I need ideas. When I look on Pinterest it's mostly guestrooms with a crib thrown in. Anyone have any inspiration pics or actual pics? 

Thanks in advance!

Is a murphy bed an option for the space? Sometimes you can look on Pinterest for space saving furniture and find all kinds of clever ideas.

I'm in the same boat. We only have 2 rooms so guest room and nursery will be one and the same. We're also 2 hours from family. As of now I'm planning on using the front half of the room for baby and the back half for guests. We have a blow up in there right now since our guest bed is in storage..

I haven't decided if I want to try to split it up and make it 2 different spaces - use the decor we had in our old guest room for the back side and use new decor for the nursery or try to combine the 2?

@ariasbabyblog I'm thinking of doing a full size day bed and decorate it with pillows so it looks more couch like

@kaitlinliz does the old decor match the nursery colors. I would try to tie everything together

Maybe you can use a shelf to divide the space? Daybeds or pull out couches could also work with the crib in the room. Which side do you want emphasized more?

I personally would focus more on nursery and then add a daybed in there that goes

I am getting a day bed from ikea. It will be a twin size daybed and then when family comes to town it can be turned into a king size bed.

Not really looking to divide the space, just want it to flow together, I think a daybed or pull out couch will be the best route.

I would love something like this but they are pretty pricey

@BrooklynMommy83 no lol! Guest room was black and red (Rutgers University colors) and the nursery is gonna be beach themed but we're looking at turquoise and yellow. I just think those 2 colors for the guest side is too kiddie 

BrooklynMommy83

@kaitlinliz I definitely think the beach them could be combined for both spaces, maybe using a cream, beige and turquoise color scheme on the guestroom side.

@BrooklynMommy83 that photos so pretty! The bed we have is black but can totally be downplayed by a bedspread. Do you think the yellow in the nursery would look out of place with the beige and cream in the guest part tho? I don't want it to look like we just threw it together. Especially since people will be staying with us once baby comes
