Nursery Organization Options - Pictures and Resources

When you design your nursery, planning for the right organization and storage space is a critical issue. Babies come along with demands for quite a handful of stuff - clothes, blankets, diapers, wipes, creams and lotions, toys... the list can go on. Thus, it is important to have a place for all these items where it will be easy and quick for you to get it when you need it. The arrangement needs to be comfortable for you.
 
There are few major things you needs to think about when planning for the organization in your nursery. First, consider where your major storage will be for things such clothes, large-case diapers and wipes and so on. Second, plan on organizing those the items which you will need to use multiple times every day- for instance, every time you change your baby you will need a number of things that have to be within reach so that you do not run to the closet every single time. Third, plan for providing for a space for favorite toys and books which later may be converted into a larger play area. You do not need to provide for such a space at the very beginning but most likely at one point you would have accumulated quite a bit of toys and books so you will need a place for them.
 
Nursery Storage for Major Items
 
Storage for major items will most likely be provided by major furniture / storage pieces such as the dresser, the closet or the wardrobe. (The closet will be another place. If you like to have a wardrobe in addition to a dresser, check out a couple of models by the The Land of Nod:
 
To put things in order, consider putting an organizing set such as the  Canvas Hanging Closet Storage and the I Think I Canvas Hanging Closet Drawers (see the photos to the right). Systems like these provide a smart way to organize clothes, shoes and toys without overcrowding your closet.
