I had no desire to go to hospital, but only had a small ish space to set up, and it was in the kitchen/main living area so couldn't set it up weeks before. I had the birth pool blown up sitting in the shed (on a blanket) ready to bring up when needed. I got some elastic wire cord from spotlight to hang up as a room divider between the kitchen/ lounge area and hung a cool keltic design sheet type thing i have had for years. i hemmed one edge of it like a curtain so it could just be pushed back until it was needed.

The baby change table was in another room with everything on it needed for the birth. The plan was for DH to bring the whole table out but he forgot that was his job. Having everything in one place meant that DH or the midwife knew where to look for stuff when i couldn't talk.

I had some fairy lights that i planned to put up, but didn't get around to it.
