Nursery Closet Organization
Everything baby needs organized just how you want it.
I customized our nursery closet for only $300, and I can change the layout again and again as baby grows and our needs change. Here are all the links and my thinking behind my purchases!
Custom closets can cost THOUSANDS. Especially with the price of wood right now, that’s not an exaggeration. I wanted to invest in a functional closet space, but didn’t wan’t to spend a fortune doing it, OR be stuck with a closet system that can’t adapt as baby’s needs change. So, I bought this closet organizer from Amazon. It can adjust to fit multiple-size closets, and you can move the shelves around to any configuration you want. It was simple to install and a great use of space! It comes in two adjustable sizes, so pick the one that fits your space best!
BASKETS. They make ALL the difference.
A combination of small and large baskets can keep things organized and easy to reach.
Target has the hookup (are we shocked?!) These small, felt baskets were perfect to sit on top of the shelves. I have socks, mittens, hats, sleep sacks/swaddles, and burp cloths within reach at the perfect height.
I also snagged the larger version for up top, storing larger sleep sacks, extra blankets, baby carrying wraps and more things that I don’t use frequently. I also used these coiled rope baskets from Target! They are in our primary closet, too. They are sturdy, but also have some give for oddly-shaped items.
Lastly, these baby hangers from Amazon were a great price. I like to hang everything (even the teeny tiny newborn pants) so I can see all the clothes. Nothing is more disappointing than finding a cute outfit hidden in the closet, only to realize that baby already outgrew it!
You can store toys in the closet!
And then easily bring them out to play!
After I put all of baby’s clothes and accessories in the closet, I was still left with some dead space at the bottom. Having a smaller nursery means you want to use every INCH of space as you can! Instead of just throwing random baskets down there, I decided to put a moveable toy organization system inside! Plus I can use it later in a different room or even in the basement for storage down the line! This basket system was super easy to put together and makes toy rotation so simple. Watch the price! I snagged it for $58 and it tends to hover between $60-80 depending on the color. There is also a larger one that I wish I could have fit in this space, and sometimes is a better price than the smaller one!
Your love and attention are the most important things baby needs.
But, if you’re looking for some toys that promote language development, these are my favorites!
Reading to baby from the start is IMPORTANT.

If you’re an Amazon shopper, they’ve got some good books too!

I’m so excited that I was able to customize our space with organizers that can serve MULTIPLE purposes, and most importantly, can change as baby’s needs change. Plus, if we want to use this room for another purpose down the line, we can rearrange the closet to meet those needs too!
