When jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald sang that ditty in 1938, she never knew her song could refer to a modern-day design revolution in preparing your home for the arrival of your new baby. When it's time to redecorate that spare room, or even a section of your master bedroom, in a practical, attractive style for the newest member of your family, using storage shelves, baskets and basket benches to organize all the little things in your nursery is the best and most affordable way for new moms and dads to keep everything close at hand and out of sight.
Basket Benches
Bookshelf Toy Storage
Basket benches provide extra seating in your nursery while creating a storage area for toys, picture books or even the sundry small items every baby needs. Decorate the seating area with throw pillows to match or accent the room's color scheme and you have a comfortable area for grandma or grandpa to relax while visiting their new grandchild. As your baby grows, you can remove the pillows and use the top of the bench as a play area, a space for drawing and coloring, or a display area for toy trains or dolls. A quality bench may offer an extra shelf for you to store blankets and quilts or decorate for the season. Baskets that are included with these benches fit perfectly and slide in and out of the shelf like drawers, concealing everything from baby sweaters and blanket sleepers to a bag full of infant necessities to grab as you head out the door.
Bookcase Shelves
Consider using solid wood bookcase shelves in your baby's room not only to display photographs of your newborn, but as additional storage. Look for bookcases that have shelves for baskets that can hold plush toys, clothes, diapers, baby wipes, and all those one-piece knits that little ones require. Open wood bookcases provide a light, airy feel to a nursery and offer a perfect spot for all sizes of stuffed animals, or even your favorite plants to sun in front of that big front window.
Baskets
Stained or painted wicker baskets are available to fit on your shelves. If you just can't locate the color you want, get a couple of cans of spray paint, place wicker baskets on newspapers outdoors and create your own look. The very trendy foldable fabric baskets come in a variety of colors, and you may choose a hue that blends with your current furniture or a shade that adds a splash of color to your room. You may want to tie bows around the basket handles -- or ribbons to dangle a baby rattle here and there, adding interest and a bit of color.
Shelves For Baskets
Shelves with mix-n-match baskets in your nursery can function as a chest of drawers. Besides diapers and clothes, you might organize a bath basket. Towels, wash cloths, baby shampoos, wipes and lotions can all hide in baskets out of sight until bath time. Then just pull out your bath basket, take it to your bathroom for the baby's bath and put it back when you finish; and it will be ready for the next bath.
If you place a pad on the top of your shelves, you can use it as a changing table with all the little things you will need to change and dress the baby in the baskets below. You will be able to keep your hand on your baby for safety while reaching for whatever you need. Or you can use shelving with baskets in a closet to help organize all the extras you never quite know what to do with - little shoes and socks, dolls, race cars, crib sheets, receiving blankets, hair bows and hats.
Depending on your needs, you will find basket shelves two, three, four or even five tiers high. That empty corner of the room that needs something special to pull everything together would be a perfect place for a narrow what-not stand complete with baskets to hold other necessities. As your baby grows, you can use the shelves to display books, photos, sport trophies and school awards.
Shelving with baskets will help you organize your nursery and keep it neat and tidy for your peace of mind when company comes to visit the newest member of your family. Wood shelves combine usefulness with appealing good looks and can take the stress off any new mother when she needs to just relax and enjoy her newborn. As your infant grows, his storage shelves for baskets can switch from his room to the playroom, on to the den and the hallway, and into the living room to meet the ever-changing needs of your growing family.
Design your nursery to be practical and to delight your heart. Organize your newborn's diapers, wipes, clothes, blankets and bath items in stylish basket shelves. When you enter your baby's room and you breathe in that crisp designer feel of finished wood storage shelves, baskets and basket benches containing all the sweet little items your baby needs, your heart will melt. As you take a moment to look around and enjoy your nursery, the infant in your arms will feel your pleasure, it will calm and relax him, and he will be happy and feel at home.
