IKEA NURSERY MAKEOVER | Minimalist Budget Nursery + DIYs
Video Overview & Insights
Today I’m giving this tiny empty room a complete nursery makeover — start to finish — using mostly budget-friendly IKEA finds.
So beautiful and airy ❤
I’m turning this walking closet sized room into a calm, minimal space for my baby all while keeping it on a budget.
There’s DIY, IKEA magic, and a very pregnant lady doing some last-minute styling, so stay with me for the ride!
I hope you added a chair to nurse your baby! ❤❤❤
We’re working with the tiniest room in the house.
It’s just 3 meters by 2 meters, basically the size of a generous walk-in closet. But don’t let the size fool you — I have big plans for this little space.
Such a lovely, calm, space! Thank you for sharing, it's very inspiring. Best wishes to all of you, I hope everything is going well!
It’s a tight squeeze, but I think with the right layout, smart storage, and a few design tricks, it’s going to feel so cozy.

Consider buying that Ikea recliner chair you advertised in another video for this room. You will be sleeping so comfortably with your baby while feeding them. ❤❤❤
Also, seriously think about changing those curtains to the one that are noise and light blocking one. That was such an issue for my kid, later when they need to sleep during the daytime, but it is sunny outside. Once again, 🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations on your Baby! The best period of our lifetime ❤❤❤

Hi Mon! Congratulations on the new arrival 😊 Just wanted to say it’s important to attach the dresser to the wall. Once baby starts to move on his own, he could try to climb the drawers and pull the dresser over. I’m sure you’re probably already aware, but as you didn’t mention it in the video I just thought it was worth saying. Love your videos! X
@jessticktock1What a nice calm and cozy spot for your babe. I love the simplicity of it.
@mkmoody2870Congratulations on the birth of your baby AND the beautiful nursery! Looks really lovely :)
@EnglishMikeyA love filled nursery for your precious little baby. It’s soft and cozy. Congratulations 💙
@Jack-py3cvMy parents and grandparents insisted a crib should be placed away from walls. Exterior walls transmit cold and heat. Interior walls transmit vibrations and noise. It's just an idea for your consideration. I love the warm neutral palette.
@jmalexander131Well done! Congratulations on the little one's arrival ❤ I would add a mirror across from the crib. That way he will always have someone to talk to! 😊
@heatherdeavalonDear Mon, what a beautiful space for your precious boy!!! Everything looks so peaceful and functional as well. And the addition of Mars… perfection. Congratulations and welcome baby Leto💕
@PamelaDominoAlthough you've already had your baby I just wanted to explain what this last minute frenzy is called (by some people) - you're nesting! You are preparing the 'nest' for your soon to be delivered chick. Congratulations!
@deborahsalem4909Looks great! Hope you are all enjoying the room.
@tubegoob1Also Mars proudly posing like that's his room is too funny😂😂😂
@anaa.6619This is the sweetest makeover on your channel, Mon🥹
The amount of effort you put into your work while being pregnant is insane, you are a supermomma!👏👏👏
what a beautiful nursery you have created Mon! Cozy and joyful. Congratulations on your little bundle of love.🥰🥰🥰
@cannedangel8550❤
@ΕλισαβετΣιουρουνηI bought the Sniglar crib over ten years ago ago for my first. It has been converted to a toddler bed and back to a crib for my three children. Hands down, one of my best IKEA purchases. Congratulations and it’s a beautiful nursery!
@nh9877When the little one gets bigger, there are a lot of third-party add-ons for Malm as a changing table.
@jim_bocho❤❤❤❤
@helgafuchsspiritWhat a beautiful nursery for a very lucky little boy! Congratulations, and thank you for sharing this with us. Mars is, indeed, going to be the best big brother, although he might be a little peeved at first when he finds he has to share you. Much happiness to your whole family.
@xpurg8dBeatiful 🥰
@moiChezMoi2000You will be blessed with a baby girl

We thought Mars was always tired but he was saving his energy for big brother duty. A great model, Mars, and love the room! Great job!
@patriciacleary8403Beautiful work, Mon! And great baby name! Aeto is going to love his room just as Mars already does!
@biggothepiggoWOW !!! YOU DID A FABULOUS job
I think Mars should have his name on wall as well. He thinks it's his new room.
Congratulations!!! What a wonderful family.
Sending happiness to you Mon and new baby, and Mars. And Daddy 🩵
The bed linen crib set and the changing mat cover are so cute!
@mechanicswife6821Very cosy! Congratulations!
@scarlettehaynes4819The nursery looks great! So calm and minimal. Great job!
@BridgetisntmyrealnameI just love the space you created. It is so perfect. Love Mars too. ❤
@brigittelewis1810Love your nursery! You did a fantastic job of bringing your idea to life. 😎❤️
@kittycraft3620❤❤❤❤❤
@HilaryGreenIt’s a very calm room perfect to help the baby sleep. My sons is similar. and very practical too ❤
@NatalieCruzOliveiraHow cute, Mars looks very at home, I bet he is a great Big Brother ❤
@Gypsyfox78You rock! And you're going to rock as a new mom too!
@karendavis4283Beautiful Mon 🥹 I loved the colors and the relaxing vibes 😍
@IvorysDIYGreat makeover and congratulations!
@cecilianagy3562Love you Mon. Happy for you. Don’t take this the wrong way but aren’t you a little concerned that “sad beige children” design is going to be too boring for a little person who needs to learn to identify colors? It doesn’t have to look like a circus if it had a little more color.
@SuePeregoThose wall cabinets look like they came built in. They fit so perfectly!💕
@DigsRetroLooks gorgeous ❤ you're so talented mommy! Лето means summer also in russian language.
@annaalekseeva451112:23 Curtains. IKEA has Schottis (black plisee curtains ns for 6€) if you want a budget option to darken the room a bit more. They are baby friendly, customisable and for that price, unbeatable. They would go well in your nursery. Congratulations 🎉🎉 on achieving all that during your last days of pregnancy. The room looks cozy and warm. Little Aeto (sorry, no cyrilic letters in my keyboard) will have many sweet dreams in the room. I ❤the letters with his name.
@BerlieStrassIt turned out beautiful, Mon! And Mars is on his post as protector 😊
