Even if your room isn’t so spacious, your can still make room for a cozy spot for your baby to sleep and spend time with him/her. The best nursery furniture for small spaces will be compact enough to fit in your desired location while still offering a comfortable, functional nursery spot for both you and your little one.
Before making a purchase, you want to make sure you know how much space you’re working with so you can take a peek at sizing specs to ensure the nursery furniture will fit.
And since you are getting something for a long term use (at least 3 to 5 years), you’ll want to ensure the color and style match your current home décor.
At Newborn Nursery Furniture, we are striving to provide the best solution for your nursery needs. There are plenty of nursery furniture that can fit in a small space.
A Mini Crib
As the center of nursery, a crib is a must-have for any family with a newborn. And a mini crib is for small spaces. Like Soho Baby Essential Mini Crib (available in grey and white). Most babies will be comfortable in something this size for longer than you may think. Also this Soho Baby Essential Mini Crib is 4-in-1 convertible. It can be converted from crib to toddler bed, day bed, and twin-size adult bed as your kid grows bigger. All you need are conversion kits including a toddler bed guard rail and a full bed conversion kit.
A Crib & Changer Combo
Getting a nursery furniture combo is a great way to save space and can solve at least two of your problems. For example, this Oxford Baby Pearson Crib and Changer Combo in Dove Gray can be your great choice. This complete nursery solution features a 4-in-1 Convertible Crib and Changing Station with Changing Pad (sold separately). With the added storage shelf and drawers, the Changing Station is perfect for keeping all of baby's necessities close by. The Pearson Crib is sturdy and easily converts from a Crib to a Toddler Bed, to a Daybed and then to a Full-Size Bed. The Toddler Bed Guard Rail and Full-Size Bed Conversion Kit are available to purchase.
A Nursery Dresser That Can Transform Into A Changing Station
Another great way to save space is purchasing a nursery dresser with a changing topper. You can easily covert the dresser into a changing station by mounting the changing tray on its top. This Montauk 3 Drawer Dresser by Oxford Baby comes with ample storage space for all of baby's belongings and specifically designed for smaller spaces. The pre-mounted Euro glide mechanism ensures smooth drawer function, while an anti-tip kit included for added security. This Montauk Dresser can be converted into a changing station with a Montauk changing topper. This dresser is available in barn white and farmhouse gray two finishes to complement your nursery décor.
Using a Chest Instead of a Dresser
If you already have a good spot to make diaper changing, you can ignore the dresser and use a chest to store your baby stuff and keep your nursery organized. A chest drawer is also called tall dresser, usually comes with 5 or 6 drawers with as much space as a horizontal dresser provides. Because a chest is tall, it takes less ground space. Therefore, a chest is a great storage option for small nursery. We recommend this 5-Drawer Chest from Milk Street Baby True collection. This chest features bespoke grain and deeply sandblasted solid Spruce drawer faces that contrast beautifully with the sleekly smooth, painted surfaces, creating an unmistakable design that complements both modern and rustic room styles.
Getting Multi-function Furniture
Multi-function furniture will save you both space and money. For example, a changing station that comes with ample storage will both solve your diaper changing issue and baby stuff organization problem. Take a look of this changing table from Milk Street Baby Branch collection (Available in Acacia & Snow, Snow, Natural & Snow and Natural finishes). The changer features the patented Branch design, making a boho statement in any nursery. Two open shelves provide ample storage for diapers, lotions, and essentials, making every change time a breeze. It can also be used as a side table, bathroom organizer, or even a bar
Another good example of multi-function nursery furniture is a storage ottoman. You can use it as a footrest or side table, and store some nursery essentials at the same time.
Sum Up
Planning for a nursery is not an easy job but it will save you at least half the time if you can narrow down to the right nursery furniture. If what you have is a small space, the nursery furniture recommended above should be your first considerations.
