Nursery Closet Organization Tips from Lisa Adams:

1. Incorporate a custom changing table if you have the space.

2. Use drawer inserts for baby products (combs, towels, diapers, etc.) and fun cut-outs for lotions and creams.

3. Incorporate storage for toys to keep them tidy.

6. Create separate hanging sections to organize your infant’s clothes by age, as babies are growing into new clothes all the time.

7. Incorporate cute hangers that fit the decor (and size of the clothing). This is another easy thing to swap/transition for a different look as your child grows.
