Clever Nursery Organization Ideas

Our readers have come up with some pretty clever nursery organization ideas. You don’t truly realize how many things a baby amasses until after your first baby shower—so many cute, tiny and often difficult to store items. We thought we’d share some of these innovative nursery storage ideas.

Baby shoes are both notoriously difficult to store and adorably cute. We love this idea that keeps them organized and on display.

Baby B’s Modern Bird Nursery

Turn baskets on their sides, and you’ve got shelves! These wire baskets are both fun and functional.

Baby James Nevin’s Nest

Attach some pegs to the side of a dresser or changing table, and you’ve got added hanging storage.

We love the trend of hanging baskets, and it’s super easy to DIY. Here are two examples we found in the gallery.

Triplet Girls’ Nursery

Maximize closet or wardrobe space by hanging multiple levels of clothing bars with drawers, shelves or cubbies.

Marin’s Big Girl Room

While you’re at it, don’t forget to decorate the closet too! These gold polka dots dress up a well-organized nursery closet.

Classic cubbies never get old for children’s storage. Sadly, the IKEA EXPEDIT (pictured below) is being phased out; luckily, its near lookalike, the KALLAX, will be available next month.
