DESIGN CHALLENGE – LOW CEILINGSolution 1: Hang a curtainOne of my personal pet hates is a low ceiling. Thankfully, one of the easiest ways to overcome this challenge is to hang curtains from ceiling to floor. With no visible rods or rails, the curtains create a waterfall effect that immediately gives the illusion of height.Guide to curtain styles

7. A floor rockerYou probably won’t want to carry your baby around all the time – all parents need a break – so a rocker like this can be worth its weight in gold. Hanging out the washing? Take it with you. Going to a friend’s house for a cuppa? Throw it in the car to make life easier. And when you’re cooking in the kitchen, your baby will love to watch you work from the comfort of her own rocker … and you’ll be sure not to miss her first smile.
