There's no denying that babies come with a lot of stuff, so finding the right nursery storage that's not only practical, but fits in with your theme is super important.
You might have already bought your nursery set and think that it will probably be enough storage. But when it comes to storing nappies, creams, muslins and even teddies, you'll find that there isn't enough space for everything. It can be easy to just chuck everything in a drawer or keep it packaged up until you need it.

Do I need nursery storage?
It's no secret that babies come with lots of items, from nappies to care products, clothes and toys. You might already have a nursery wardrobe and drawers, but nursery storage will allow you to tidy away those little bits that don't have a home or bits that you need to keep closer when changing baby. It's a more decorative alternative to a children's bookcase too in some cases.
How much will I need?
How much you need will vary depending on the type of storage you have already and how much space you have in the nursery. Before purchasing any storage, it's good to check what you already have and what you actually need the additional storage for.
