Preparing a baby room is one of the most exciting tasks for families expecting a new baby, but also one of the most full of questions. A classic crib setup or the Montessori approach? Will the room be set up just for the first year, or will it still be used as the child grows? The right choice of baby room is shaped by the answers to these questions. In this guide we have gathered the points to check when choosing, along with baby room set models for different approaches.
Decide on Your Approach First
Baby room models are mainly based on two different ideas. In the classic setup, the baby sleeps in a crib with rails, and the room is arranged largely around the parents’ use. In the Montessori approach, the room is designed with low, reachable pieces so that the baby can explore on their own from the moment they start to move. Deciding which suits you best also makes the choice of model much clearer.
Think About How Long the Room Will Be Used
A baby grows fast in the first year, and the room changes along with them. A set chosen only for the crib stage can fall short within two or three years. Choosing a modular set with pieces that make the move to the next stage easier, such as a toddler bed or a daybed, removes the need to set up the room from scratch each time.
Do Not Forget the Parents’ Needs
In the first months, the person who spends the most time in the room is actually the parent. A restful chair for night feeds and a changing area where nappies and spare clothes are kept in one place make this period much easier.
Ask About Safety for Every Model
Whatever the style or approach, safety criteria do not change. E1 certified boards, EN 71-3 certified paints, self-closing drawer rails and hinges, and a wardrobe that can be fixed to the wall are details worth asking about when choosing a baby room.

Alongside a 70x140 crib, a chest of drawers and a 3 door wardrobe, options such as a rest chair, a pouf, a wall shelf module and a modular play mat make it possible to set up the room as needed. The fact that the Flow series also has kids’ room and teen room versions makes it easier to keep the same style in the years ahead.
