What Baby Nursery Furniture Do I Really Need?
Don’t really know what a proper baby nursery furniture set should contain? As a first time parent, it can be quite confusing when it comes to all the different things you think you might need for your newborn. Advertisers states that you would need a really full furnitured room, complete with all the “must-have” items that they will tell you is a must.
You could buy a complete baby nursery furniture set from the start, and that way get all the basic stuff in one go, but I personally think, from my own experience, that to buy baby furniture one by one could be better. I will explain to you why in this article.
You will undoubtly need some basics. A crib and a wardrobe is a good place to start. Let’s elaborate from that.
Remember that the baby will play on the floor for the first year or so. Maybe then, a full furnitured room is not the number one emergency thing you would need, but a nice play room for the baby? With floor space. Invest in a nice big rug, and maybe some colourful bog boxes for storage of toys, so that the baby can reach them.
You aren’t going to spend all that much time in the nursery room anyway. Your baby will be with you in the kitchen, living room, outdoors. It’s going to be years until you can leave it by itself to play. Or maybe a better way to put it: a child up to three years of age doesn’t want to play on it’s own anyway. He or she is going to want your company even when big enough to play in its room. The toys are going to be brought wherever the rest of the family is, believe me!
But still, you will of course need some basics at least (and you want to decorate the room to look welcoming and cosy of course)
A good place to start is a big wardrobe. If you invest in a good wardrobe you can keep it for years. Remember that it has to be steady and safe. You want to be absolutely sure that it can’t overturn when your baby starts to lean on to it trying to walk, or climbing in to it. If you are unsure that it will be steady enough, secure it to the wall.
Besides that, a crib is another furniture you will of course need. There are plenty to choose from. Personally I like the amish baby nursery sets. The y are all natural and doesn’t contain any toxics colourings or impregnations. Good if you have allergy in the family Maybe you use a cradle for the first six months or something like that, but after that a crib is really a good place for the baby to rest in. See to it that the cradle is a place that he or she will enjoy staying in, and a place for it to relax. Put some nice pictures on the wall above the crib, get a crib mobile or some fun things to hang from the sides of the crib.
What more should you get? Well, a nursery table is a piece you will need there if you are not doing the diaper changing somewhere else in the house, personally I have it in the bathroom, because I want access to running water. The rest is really up to you. Maybe you want a little table and some chairs or whatever, that will make the room look comfy, but don’t rush in to things buying too much when the baby is small.
