{NURSERY ROOM ESSENTIALS}

Planning a nursery can be both exciting and confusing, there are so many wonderful item to include in this room, but what do you really need? Follow these tips to determine some essentials you will definitely want to have in your nursery!

{MOM AREA}

Your nursery isn’t only a room for a baby it’s a room for you too. You will be spending plenty of time in the nursery feeding your baby etc. and so make sure you have an area to make yourself comfortable as well. A glider with a side table is a must have. You want to stock the side table with snacks and water for when you are (basically) immobile while feeding your baby. Maybe even include some magazines books or even an iPad for handy entertainment while rocking your baby to sleep!

Below the Marcheline Night table and Angelica Glider are the perfect nursery furniture pair for your ‘Mommy Zone’.

{OPEN STORAGE}

Open storage, like bins on shelves or simply open book cases, can really come in handy in a nursery. You may find that one arm is often occupied with your little angel and so having open storage when you only have one available hand is very useful. Easy access when you need a pacifier or wipe immediately will make your life a lot easier. Pair the Tall French Bookcase by AFK Furniture with some creme colored bins of your choosing for easy access storage.

{CRIB, CRADLE, or BASSINET}

This might seem like a no brainer but of course your little angel needs their own place to sleep! However, it is important to note here that you really only need one in the nursery. For many it may seem like you might need to get all three, but that is not the case. A bassinet or cradle are great for the first couple months when the newborn may be too small for a crib and when you would like for your child to sleep in your room with you. After the child has grown out of the bassinet a crib can replace it. For amazing Luxury Baby Furniture try the Leila Bassinet from AFK Furniture (pictures below).

{EXTRA ESSENTIALS}

Additonal essentials include a night light and a journal. A night light will be crucial for those late night checkins when you don’t want to turn on the lights and risk waking the baby. A journal will help you keep track of feeding, when you changed your baby etc. and also to keep note of special moments!

Whatever you decide to add into your nursery, just remember that making it as convenient as possible is always a plus! Plan your perfect nursery and check out AFK luxury baby furniture today!
