Storage – we never have enough of it and we’re always looking for beautiful and functional nursery storage ideas! And this is never more apparent than when you have children. Babies are like a magnet for ‘stuff’… all sorts of tiny, cute, adorable ‘stuff’. Only too often do we run about cramming ‘stuff’ into nursery drawers, cupboards and baskets in a sorry attempt to clear the floor for enough time to be able to hoover.
When it comes to anything to do with babies and nurseries, it’s always good to think long term. Unless you have loads of budget, you want to buy pieces that will last as your kid’s needs change. This is one of the reasons why I love gender-neutral nurseries as you never know who might be using these items next! Painting the walls or adding prints to the walls is easier to change than pieces of furniture.
Paper storage bags are a great storage solution as they’re lightweight and affordable – plus there are some lovely designs out there too. Here are some really cute monochrome ones from Notonthehighstreet.com
Shelving is always a good option as it keeps pretty decorative items out of reach of little fingers. They’re also a valuable storage space giving more floor space for them to play.
The blackboard toy chest looks fab in any monochrome kids’ bedroom or playroom. With black drawable sides, this handmade wooden toy chest comes with a rope so that you can pull it along or attach it to other wagons. Is it a toy that functions as a storage bin or a storage bin that functions as a toy? The answer is sure to be different whether you ask mums or their children. All we know is that it is sturdy, spacious and elegant at the same time.
