What Furniture Is Needed in a Nursery?

What Furniture Is Needed in a Nursery?

A nursery does not need a long shopping list. Six pieces cover everything the room has to do in the first year: a cot or cot bed, a wide chest of drawers that doubles as a changing surface, some hanging space, a supportive chair for night feeds, a small surface beside it, and closed storage for toys and bedding. In this guide we explain how to position the cot first so it sets the layout, why a chest of drawers is more useful than a dedicated changing table, and what height and depth to look for. We also cover lighting that lets you settle a baby without waking the room, storage that works in a small British bedroom with a chimney breast or an awkward door swing, safety checks worth doing on assembly day, and the items you can comfortably leave until the second year. There is also advice on planning a layout that converts into a toddler bedroom later....

8 Bedroom Storage Ideas Beyond Wardrobes and Drawers

Wardrobes and chests of drawers cover the obvious storage needs in any bedroom, but most British homes have more to store than hanging clothes and folded jumpers. Spare bedding, books, shoes, off season coats, a small library of skincare and the cardigan that keeps migrating from the chair all need somewhere sensible to live.

In this guide we share eight practical ideas that solve everyday clutter without adding another bulky cabinet to the room, from upholstered ottomans at the foot of the bed and dual purpose blanket boxes to valet stands for tomorrow's outfit, under bed boxes for seasonal items, behind the door racks for shoes, and shallow open shelving above the headboard. We also cover the simple twice yearly edit that keeps the room calm regardless of how much storage you own....
