3 Tips for Arranging the Nursery in a Functional Way

Choosing nursery furniture is an exciting time for expectant parents. There is more to designing a functional nursery than just picking out the essentials, though. You can have a perfectly lovely nursery that does not meet your needs if you don’t take some time to plan out the room. Follow these tips to have a nursery that is both beautiful and functional:

Work with What You Have

Before you do any shopping for nursery furniture, you need to know the dimensions of your room. You also need to know where electrical outlets, heating vents, and light switches are within those dimensions—after all, the last thing you want to do is purchase a crib that only fits on a wall directly above or below a vent! Keep both your measurements and layout in mind when selecting your nursery furniture.

Design a Rough Layout

You don’t have to be a master architect to sketch out a potential nursery arrangement. Think about what you’ll be putting in your nursery and how it should relate to each other. This helps you to choose nursery furniture that is the right size for the arrangement you need.

Think About What You’ll Be Doing in the Nursery

Will you be feeding your baby in the nursery? If so, you want to make sure you have a glider near the crib. Are you going to have a changing table? Make sure you place it somewhere that is easy to get to and away from potential safety hazards. You may even want to consider placing baby’s dresser within arm’s length of the changing table in case of emergency clothing changes.

3 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Nursery Theme

When designing a nursery, there are many factors to think about. In this situation, purchasing the right nursery furniture is essential. Many parents find that it’s much easier to build a nursery around a theme than to try to work it out bit by bit. When choosing a theme, consider these factors so that you’ll have a room that serves you and your child well both now and in the future:

Gender

You may be expecting a little girl now, but there’s no way to anticipate the gender of your next child. If you are planning to have more children, consider that you may want to use the same nursery furniture, bedding, and equipment in the future. If this is the case, you’ll want to choose a theme that is gender-neutral. If you don’t mind redecorating and purchasing new nursery furniture, feel free to go all out with a sweet gender-specific theme.

Longevity

Tiny teddy bears or nursery rhyme elements may work wonderfully while your baby is still young, but these themes are quickly outgrown. If you intend for your child’s nursery to convert to her permanent bedroom, you may want to choose a contemporary theme for the nursery furniture and wall colors. You can still use bedding, pictures, and curtains to give the room a youthful feel and replace them as your child grows.

Comfort

You’ll be spending a great deal of time in your child’s nursery, so it should be comfortable and functional for both you and your baby. For example, child-sized chairs are fine for your child, but make sure you have nursery furniture that is comfortable for you as well!
