Mum-to-be transforms cluttered box room into ‘dream nursery’ using B&M & IKEA bargains
A MUM has revealed how she transformed her cluttered box room into a "dream nursery" using B&M and IKEA bargains.
Ruby Natalia, 23, told that the spare room was previously being used as a "family wardrobe" before she decided to turn it into her baby daughter's nursery.
The East Midlands mum-of-two - who is an outreach worker - has spent lockdown kitting out the small room in time for her baby's arrival.
She said: "With a baby girl on the way we wanted to transform it into our dream nursery despite the lack of space.
"The space is really small so we wanted to maximise every corner and keep it as bright as possible."
The mum began by spray-painting the legs of a pink Homesense chair gold to tie in with her £30 Groupon footstool and £29.99 Amazon lamp.
Before the transformation, Ruby already had chic grey wooden floor tiles from B&M and assembled a new dresser for her daughter which she picked up in IKEA.
She continued: "The clothes rail is also a rail we already had and sprayed gold.
"A family friend made her cot which is lovely as it’s one of a kind."
In total, Ruby spent £380 on paint, the new armchair, the footstool and other accessories for the room.
Needless to say, Ruby is delighted with how well the transformation turned out.
She said: "This was a great project to work on whilst pregnant and is the ideal way to keep a pregnant mind focused during lockdown.
"I’m super happy with the result. It’s my dream nursery for my daughter."
