Building your nursery and choosing your baby furniture are processes that benefit from quick, efficient checklists! What items do you plan to have in your nursery, other than the classic-quintessential crib and rocker? What theme are you looking to have? And lastly, do you plan to keep your baby’s furniture past infancy. Answering these questions helps to narrow your searches to the perfect floor plans! Start with your color or finish scheme; this helps narrow the options in a vast pool of possibility. Classic white and natural wood finished furniture are great for matching all the presents and goodies parents are gifted at special events. Choose a neat matching set or mix and match piece by piece.
What do you need to make your nursery complete? - the choice is yours. A minimal nursery can do with the essential crib or bassinet and dresser for clothing. Even within the dresser realm of furniture categories, there are dual-use options. Choose a combination dresser-changing table for quick, safe and easy diaper changes and to save space in smaller nurseries; check your square footage before purchasing! Also, be sure to scope out the cabinet vs. drawer varieties- there are lots of options to meet your storage needs. If you have plenty of space to fill, or perhaps twins, choose a set with all the amenities. Bed Bath & Beyond has a phenomenal selection of hutches, gliders, armoires, nightstands, toy boxes and more!
Baby Furniture to Grow With
Baby furniture doesn’t have to last solely through the tiny tot stages. There are options in terms of convertibility and durability that will allow the set you choose to stand the test of time and stay in age appropriate style. Investing in furniture built from fine materials like solid or engineered wood are a great way to ensure longevity; if you do go for a solid wood option remember, they can be heavy! Be sure to secure items like dressers and chests to the wall to avoid tipping. Choosing a color and style that is also easy to match will allow you to change up your little one’s space as they grow. Many shoppers find it extremely beneficial to purchase a crib that converts to a bed in preparation for when their infant grows into a toddler- and they grow up fast!
