Welcoming a
newborn home comes with lots of preparations. One thing that will keep
bothering you is how to organize that little room or corner in your master
bedroom set aside for them. While there are many nursery ideas to help you make
the little space comfortable for your bundle of joy, it can be difficult to
have all the infant
products
fit in this space.
However, with a
few baby storage ideas, even the smallest nursery can accommodate all your
baby’s items. All you need to do is to make sure the nursery storage is as
functional as possible. Even so, don’t forget that the little space needs to
look cute too. As you maximize space, ensure you include some décor to make it
attractive.
Here are some
nursery hacks that will help you put things in order.
Plastic Bins Under the Crib
If you don’t have
enough space to store all the infant products, it’s important to take advantage
of every available square foot. You can use small plastic bins that can fit
beneath the crib to keep your supplies of diapers, wipes, clothes, and formula.
Since you may not want to see the containers peaking out, you can use a crib
skirt to hide your under-the-crib storage. However, if you’d like to make the
storage under the crib attractive, you can pack your supplies in decorative or
woven baskets. You don’t need a crib skirt for this.
A Shower Caddy for Extra Diapers
You probably have
a shower caddy already, but in case you don’t, just check online and get
yourself one. If your changing table lacks storage for extra clothes along with
a few pieces of diapers, try using a shower caddy to put these necessities. The
good thing about this storage piece is that you can hang it on the wall within
reach so that it’s easier to pick the items when in need. To add to your
nursery’s décor, you can give the caddy a coat of paint that blends with the
nursery theme.
Changing Table with a Chest Of Drawers
Sometimes your
nursery is too small to hold all the necessary baby furniture. Therefore,
instead of having separate furniture pieces, you can get a multifunctional
furniture piece to maximize space. For instance, instead of having separate
drawers for keeping your baby’s items, you can have a changing table fitted
with drawers. This will provide extra storage for diaper supplies and a few
pieces of clothes. Additionally, to avoid clutter in the baby’s room, you can
have fixed furniture pieces such as floor-mounted seats.
Separate Storage for Outgrown Clothes
Your
baby is growing fast and you just have to keep up with the changing wardrobe.
What fits them today may not fit them in a week’s time. As such, you’ll have to
get new clothing pieces now and then. So, what do you do with outgrown clothes?
You can donate them to a friend who’s expecting a baby soon, or create storage
for them as a family member or friend may need them soon. You can use simple
cardboard boxes for this purpose to free the little one’s wardrobe from pieces
they aren’t using.
