Planning for your new baby is an exciting time. When choosing new furniture for your nursery, you want to make sure the space is well-organized, welcoming to your child, and—above all—safe. The following tips can help you achieve all of those objectives.

Do:

Make safety a priority.

Purchase a well-made crib, and ensure you know the proper way to use it. Also, think ahead to the future when your child eventually enters their toddler years. Look for furniture with rounded edges, ensure toy boxes have light lids that can be opened from the inside, and secure cords and wires to prevent your baby from accessing them.

Have plenty of storage space.

Storage in your nursery makes it easier to clean up during nap time, and it keeps everything organized. Get a dresser large enough to hold all of your baby’s clothes and spare bedding, purchase some bins to hold toys, and find a changing table with room to hold diapers.

Don’t:

Emphasize form over function.

New FurnitureWhile you want a pretty and comforting room for your child, you also want to ensure the space is comfortable. Practical items like changing tables, cribs, and rocking chairs or gliders should take precedence over stylish choices. While you can still include fun items in your design, choose the practical items first to ensure you have everything you need before including dolls and mobiles.

Be swayed by too many opinions.

Other people will be quick to provide advice on what new furniture is necessary for your nursery. While these people may be well-meaning, you must arrange the space in a way that makes sense for you and your baby. What worked for other families may not work for you, and too many opinions can cause confusion and second-guessing.
