Where can I buy baby changing tables?
Trying to fit all the necessary baby furniture into a small nursery can be like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Every piece of furniture must be in just the right spot. If you know what kind of baby nursery furniture to look for, and what you can get by without, it is easy. Read on for how to buy baby furniture for a small nursery while maximising storage and saving space.
Essential items
Start by selecting a baby crib. If storage is lacking in the baby nursery, look for cribs which have a drawer under the mattress to give you a little more storage space. Look at the dimensions of the crib to make sure it will fit in your room.
A baby changing table
In addition to the crib, a changing station table unit is the only other piece of
"must-have" baby furniture. There are several different types of baby changing tables. Take into account the cost of a baby, but perhaps treat yourself here with an oak changing table or baby station.
If you have a wall which is at least 4-5 feet, and without a window or door, you could probably fit a changing table dresser. This will give you lots of additional storage space and may eliminate the need for a separate clothes dresser. These types of changing tables/baby dressers often times come with the option of a hutch which can be used for books, knick knacks or baby pictures. If you do not have a wall which is large enough, look for a small, compact changing table but still one with at least a couple of shelves or drawers.
Other items
Buy a shelf floor lamp. Not only will it provide necessary light, it will give you added storage space and only takes up one square foot. If you position the nursery lamp next to the glider, you can use it as a table for tissues, bottles, books and a small CD player/clock. Once you have all the essentials, you might find you actually have more room than you thought. If so, you may want to consider getting white baby furniture dressers, baby changing mats, box, nursery tables and baby advice books.
