Baby Room Must Haves

When setting up your child’s nursery, you’re going to enter a whole new world of baby room furniture sets and everything they include. Somehow this list of baby furniture is much longer than you think and it starts to seem a little intimidating when everything comes together. The more you think about it, the more unsure you are of what you need exactly and what you are going to be spending on everything as the prices add up. Looking at everything piece by piece, it is not nearly as scary as you might think. Let’s set up a plan of what you need and take a good look at what is out there for you. At the very least, consider this a quick run-down of what baby room must haves include.

 

The Crib

The crib is the centrepiece of the baby room. When thinking about what you will need to build your nursery, this is likely to be the first thing to pop up in your mind. Fear not. You have plenty of options here at a variety of price points to meet a variety of needs. You will likely want a convertible crib that can be converted into different bed shapes to keep up with your growing child. Other styles of cribs are available for those concerned with space and portability like this Davinci mini crib. Some cribs will even have a dresser attached to it, giving you one less thing to worry about.

 

The Dresser & Changer

You will need a place to store all of your child’s clothes, toys, blankets, etc. For this, you will be on the lookout for a storage system of some kind. This includes dressers, chests, and hutches of any size. A medium to large-sized dresser like this double-wide dresser from Davinci might be ideal to give yourself and your child a bit of growing room. A good find might be a dresser with a changing tray on the top of it. Otherwise, if the dresser does not come with one included already, you can add a little changing tray to the top of it to make the dresser multi-purpose. All of this extra storage space is going to come in handy for you when your child is younger, and for your child once he/she starts putting the toys away alone.

 

Package Sets

What all of this comes down to is a shopping list with a big dollar sign at the bottom. A good way to knock down the costs of everything you want and need for your nursery furniture sets are package sets. These are baby room must haves that add up pieces of essential nursery furniture together at a lower cost. Getting your baby room furniture this way ensures that you not only have everything you need but have it all in a matching set with a reduced bundle cost. One example is this Franklin & Ben set, which has a crib, dresser, and nightstand. A good furniture set will have your whole nursery filled out in one go.

When all of the pieces start coming together, it’s not nearly as intimidating as it seemed at first. Once you identify the individual pieces of furniture you want, you have several options for getting your hands on them afterwards. Figure out which specific items you want and shop for your baby room must haves piece by piece. Keep your eye out for some furniture that has more than one use to it and save on time, cost, and space. You can also look for everything you need tied together in a bundle and make your purchase as simple as possible. The choices are yours.
