subject: How To Choose The Right Nursery Furniture For Your Baby [print this page] Generally, the nursery is one of the smallest rooms in the house. Many nurseries are adapted from offices, sewing rooms, and even walk in closets! There's nothing wrong with this, but it means you're working with a small, and frequently oddly shaped space. That means that the colors you choose and the furniture placed in it are of vital importance. The wrong ones could result in a cramped, overwhelming space. The right ones will make the nursery feel cozy and welcoming. However, the process of choosing nursery furniture doesn't have to be a difficult one. Here are a few tips to help you end up choosing charming but useful nursery furniture that's just right for your child.
You'll need to start out with a list of your basic requirements for the room. Usually a cot or crib is required, as well as storage and changing space. You'll need to find out the dimensions of the room and the furniture you want to place. Draw out a plan, taking into account the locations of built in wardrobes, radiators, windows, and the swing area of the door. These obstacles can be real problems in your nursery if you don't think about them. Too many people have been surprised by an obstacle in a place they needed to put storage or other furniture.
This will allow you to figure out where your items will go. If you haven't bought your furniture yet, use an average from retailers to decide your placement. You might even think about creating pieces of newspaper in the dimensions of your furniture and putting them on the floor in the correct locations. That will allow you to easily see how much space will be available and let you try moving around in it to see if things feel comfortable. You won't have to find out that your furniture is too large or close together after you buy.
Remember not to go overboard when you're buying things for your new baby. It's easy to get carried away. Your baby will be using many of these items for only a short time, so it's a good idea to pay attention to your budget and your real needs. Will you choose a cot, or a cotbed? Is there a toddler bed available for when a cot is no longer needed? How about the changing area? Make sure you have enough space for storage, and that it's a comfortable height for changing your baby - you shouldn't have to lean over or stand in a strange position. You can even buy cot top changers - these fit over the top of a cot - to save space until your baby can roll over.
