Advice

Sit on the floor and look at the room from your child's perspective. Rather than putting everything up at adult height, try to see it from the height of a little person and find furniture to fit and hang wall art low.

Did you use a twin size mattress or crib size mattress?

You did such a great job considering your child. I really think that most of us forget about what a room might look like from a toddlers point of view and how overwhelming that could be. Bravo for this amazing job! I'm so inspired by this.

Such a child friendly space. I will be doing something similar for my son. Thanks for the inspiration.

It's nice to see just a mattress here. It's safe and comfortable. It's like sleeping the traditional Korean way.
