The crib is undoubtedly the most important investment when it comes to nursery furniture. Even if you plan to use a temporary sleeping solution for the first few weeks of baby’s life, transitioning to a baby crib is an inevitable step as your baby grows.
In this section, we outline the three important factors in choosing the right baby crib set while explaining the difference in styles you may see during the selection process.
As a new parent, it’s no secret you’ll be changing a ton of dirty diapers in the first few months of baby’s life. That’s why it’s super important to have a surface or dedicated space solely for this task.
Baby changing tables are sturdy in construction and offer ample storage space for all of your diaper and changing necessities.
If a changing table doesn’t quite fit your storage needs or if it is too short-term of a solution, another option is investing in a baby changing table dresser.
These combo units offer three or more drawers for ample storage and can be used as a changing surface with a removable changing table kit. Once your baby outgrows the weight restrictions of the changing table topper, you have a beautiful set of functioning drawers to use through all stages of baby’s rapid growth!
In the guide, we’ve also included a list of highly recommended accessories to help make changing baby as seamless and mess-free as possible!
As much as the baby nursery is designed with baby’s safety and comfort in mind, mom and dad’s comfort is equally important! That’s why we encourage you to consider adding a glider, ottoman, or swivel chair to your nursery. We compare different top-rated nursery chairs in this guide.
With so much time spent feeding and burping baby, especially late at night, it’s wonderful to have a place to rest your tired body. Gliders and ottomans are designed to coordinate in both style and motion, but there are other chairs offering a wider range of movements and rotations. Added bonus: these chairs can be repurposed in any room once the baby is grown making them an awesome investment!

Imagine this scenario: In the middle of the night, you hear the baby crying through your two-way monitor. You know it’s another late-night feeding session, but you don’t want to wake everyone in the house by turning on the lights.
This is where nursery lighting is a huge savior. By providing a soft, dim light, it’s easier to soothe your hungry, crying baby and put them to bed quicker. From traditional lamps and shades to interactive nightlights, there are so many fun and unique nursery lighting ideas available.
