Isn’t it amazing how much stuff babies have, especially when they’re so tiny themselves? Between the diapers and wipes, toys and books… then all the tiny socks and tiny shoes and tiny onesies… there are endless items to keep track of and organized! So yes, when it comes to nursery storage, there’s a lot to consider—how much space do you have? What type of decor style are you looking for? Bright, primary colors? Soft neutrals? Do you have a Montessori nursery? Or a gender neutral nursery? How about convertible items like bookshelves that can also hold toys? Or toy chests that can double as clothing storage? Do you want a diaper caddy that hangs on the side of your changing table or one that sits on top? How about hooks for hanging the diaper bag and coats?
