Turning our Closet into the Baby’s Changing Station (Renter Friendly Hack)

Turned our small apartment closet into a dressing area in our nursery with the help of renter-friendly wallpaper and this beautiful Lulu & Georgia dresser, which unfortunately is sold out but here’s a similar one.

If you’re wondering why we didn’t utilize this closet as a place for his clothes, it is because he already has 2 larger dressers by his crib in the nursery. However, this 6-drawer dresser also stores some of his necessities, which I’ll have a dedicated post on how I organized his dresser soon.

For this closet, our main goal was to make it a changing area but also we wanted to ensure we were properly using all the space available. There’s a lot of vertical space above so we took advantage of it by storing all the extra boxes of diapers and wipes for the baby. We used kitchen curtains and a tension rod to hide it away from the public eye.

Aside from the dresser, the other major thing we added to spruce up this area was this renter-friendly wallpaper from Wallblush. The rest of the nursery was painted sage green to complement the wood furniture we have, we went with this wallpaper to further drive the grounding earth vibes. We didn’t have a theme for our nursery but wanted to ensure that we are offering a nature-forward, calming type of environment for our baby hence the large fiddle tree (which is real and that we’ve had for 3 years) and the leaves of the wallpaper. As for installing the wallpaper itself, it was easy overall but it was a longer process that I expected. You can find a video of us installing here.
