The changing table is a staple furniture piece for any nursery and
there is a variety of options to choose from. It is a common choice for
parents to coordinate the changer and dresser with the crib in terms of
style, color and overall design. You will find many collections of
cribs, dressers and changers which are meant to make your decision
easier. Of course, if you do not like to match completely these
furniture pieces, you do not have to do it. You can choose them to be
the same colors but different designs within the same style - it is up
to you.
Types of Changing Tables
There are two primary types of changing tables - the ones with an open shelf design and the ones that are in combination with a dresser.
The second type is probably used more often simply because it is more
flexible and versatile - after your baby is passed the stage of
diapers, you will continue to use it as a dresser. Often, the decision
is determined by the space you have and your budget as well.
