Baby in parent's room

DH and I are staying in our 2 bedroom apartment another year and baby is due in September. Bedroom #1 is a dedicated music studio where DH teaches so we can't repurpose that room.

 

Our bedroom is large and we plan to shift our items to one side and give the baby a dedicated area taking up about 1/3 of the room. Has anyone else done this and still made that part of the room feel like it is a baby area through decorating, etc?

Yes and no.   We will share our room and luckily our master is huge.  Another bedroom is 21 mo-old DS's room/guest room.  No area of our home screams "baby/nursery."  We plan to move withing the next year.  Honestly, all of that decor is more for mom and dad anyway.  Babies don't need it and they don't know any different.

We just have the PnP set up in our room. No extra decorations or anything. It's not like DD would notice. Plus she's in our bed pretty much all the time anyway.

We share a room with our LO- it is the upper part of a bungalow. I love how it turned out- I just made sure everything we decorated with was something I can live with. The general "theme" between our side and the baby side is bold black and white patterns. We used Marimekko fabrics. The furniture is a mix of vintage and modern. Just be sure you use the furniture to create separate spaces but have unifying elements, if that makes sense.
