Living Room
The living room is the hub of our home. We’ve got an open plan so it is plenty of space. We don’t need a separate “play room” for Mia because we spend most of our time in the living room, and she wants to be where we are. I intentionally devoted all of the low shelves to Mia’s toys, so we can create ”an environment of yes’s.”
It’s a good idea making these investments in the future, especially if you’re on the route to home ownership. These little touches can make it more likely that you’ll want to stay in your home long-term and find it satisfying. Focusing on the living room in particular is essential because the purpose of the room changes so much over time. Right now it’s for me as toys, but it could equally be for the whole family in the future.
Kitchen Area
There is nothing more important in Montessori than respect for the child, and with that, there is no greater respect than the Prepared Environment. Somewhere they can keep their things independently, neatly and in a reachable space. Mia’s got essential kitchen tools that she uses everyday and independently.
Hallway Space.
Bedroom
Mia’s bedroom is comfortable and simple. She has easy access to clothes and child size mirror at the child’s eye level so she can check out her style. Also she has a small chair with a brush and porcelain pot with hairbands and hair clips. There is also a book shelves and reading corner.

And, that’s it!
