Keep in mind that you’ll adjust your nursery organization as your baby grows. For example, as they grow out of their clothes, store them in labeled containers and make room for new pieces. Little nursery reorganization projects don’t have to be stressful — just do them as needed.

Your baby will be spending a lot of time in their crib, and thankfully, this important piece of furniture can also help you stay organized. Pick out a style with storage drawers or make use of bins underneath to store bulkier items. Remember to fold everything neatly or use this space to store items you don’t need very often.

Your baby’s nursery can often be a small space to begin with, so making the most of every inch is valuable. A storage wall system that you can cater to your needs — whether you need plenty of cabinet and shelving space or prefer deep drawers — is the perfect addition to your nursery. 

Another nursery staple, the changing table is a valuable spot that can help you stay organized. There are plenty of options for drawer and cabinet space, or an open shelving design where you can store baskets and bins.

As your little one grows up, they’ll begin playing with toys more regularly and you likely already have some trinkets that have been gifted to you. Designating space for toy storage will help you keep everything neat and tidy. Plus, it can ensure that the room grows up with them. 

If your nursery doesn’t have a closet, an armoire is a great way to make your own closet space. Tuck it in a corner and use it to store all of their clothes, tiny booties and winter coats.

Any storage unit or hutch will be useful in a nursery, but don’t be afraid to get creative. Utilize baskets and bins on shelves to create your own cubbies that can easily be pulled out when needed.

A reading nook may not be the first thing you think of when planning out your nursery organization, but we think you’ll find it incredibly useful. Designating a space for storytime and late-night feedings will help you plan the layout of the nursery — pair it with a large storage basket for baby blankets or a nightstand to hold your morning coffee.

Every reading nook needs bookshelves, and mounting floating wall shelves is one of our favorite ways to save space. This simple yet decorative look can help define the nursery while adding extra storage.

Your nursery organization items don’t have to be boring — in fact, they’re the perfect accents to your overall nursery theme. Pick out unique basket shapes or decorative wall storage, like this moon-shaped shelf.

Little socks, pajamas, playsuits — there are so many tiny clothing items to keep track of in the nursery. A dresser with drawer dividers will help you stay organized and know exactly where everything is. Find more dresser tips in the next section!

Whether you prefer to include little baskets and drawer organizers or rely on your pristine folding skills, keeping your nursery dresser drawers neat and tidy will help encourage a more organized space. Roll or fold small clothing items so you always know what’s what and make the most of drawer space.

Making use of acrylic storage bins will ensure your dresser remains clean, organized and easy to navigate. Inside your dresser drawers, they can help keep little items from getting lost. On top of the dresser, they’ll keep your essentials close at hand without looking cluttered.

How you organize your items is just as important as what you use to keep them organized. Keep this in mind as you sort everything out — for example, keep diaper changing essentials in one basket and bath time basics in another. Keep these baskets on top of your dresser for easy accessibility.

Hanging storage space is a valuable way to keep your nursery organized and neat. A set of wall hooks is the perfect place for items like their diaper bag and or an extra change of clothes.

While your diaper bag is meant to be used on the go, it can also be a useful nursery organization tool, especially if you and baby are out and about regularly. Place your diaper bag next to your dresser or changing table to keep essentials close by and refill your to-go items as needed.

Organizing baby basics by age is a must. From newborn items to their 12-month playsuits, sorting everything by age and size will make clothing easily accessible when it’s time for them to graduate to a new bracket.

Your dresser provides plenty of valuable storage, and you can expand that by adding a small shelf above. Use this space for displaying framed pictures and other items you don’t want taking up space on top of the dresser. A note about safety: Be sure not to put shelves above your changing table!

Hang a small white board or pinboard above the dresser to keep track of little to-dos. This is also a great place to hang some of your favorite baby pictures. Again, be sure to only hang this above a dresser, not over a changing table.

Just like in your dresser drawers, be sure to fold everything neatly. Whether you’re organizing extra crib sheets or keeping their little clothes organized, this will make your life so much easier on a daily basis.

Dirty baby clothes need a place to go besides the floor, and a hamper just inside the closet door will ensure laundry always has a place to go. We love an elegant woven hamper for a natural look.

Similar to keeping their clothes sorted by age, storing seasonal items in bins that you can tuck away is a great way to make the most of your space. Winter items, extra warm blankets and hand-me-downs from older siblings can be stored away until needed.

Items that you use daily — think diaper essentials, pacifiers and teethers — are best to keep portable. Designate a basket or two that holds these things that you can keep stored on a closet shelf to easily grab when needed.
