Perhaps you are planning for your third child; maybe you are new, expecting parents and have no experience with planning for a nursery. Either way, selecting a baby nursery furniture set that meets your needs as a family will serve you well in the long run.

We’re here to help with that, whether you’ve never done this before or your fourth child is on the way and you simply want to put what you’ve learned to better use.

The Importance of Choosing Wisely

A baby nursery furniture set is something that you’re going to get used to, and not something that can be easily replaced once it’s established and you’ve brought home the newest member of your family.

A nursery furniture set can vibe with the setting of a room, or it can clash. It can scale with the growth of your child, or it can present headaches. It can provide room, or it can limit you. Here are some questions you should ponder while shopping - they’ll help you select the ideal set for your nursery.

●Does it match the rest of the design of the nursery?

Buying a nursery furniture set, as opposed to buying all of the individual items piecemeal, will help to establish a sense of cohesion not only within the nursery room but also within the rest of your home.

Luckily, sets are curated so that each of the pieces of furniture - for example, the crib, the dresser and the changing table - are all aesthetically aligned. That will make it much easier for you then to ensure that set is well aligned with the rest of your interior design. Also, keep in mind that many baby nursery furniture sets are available in more than one finish.

●Does it contain enough space or storage for all of my essentials?

One of the most important things you will need to evaluate is whether or not a set contains adequate space for your purposes. Many sets come with dressers or chests of drawers that have plenty of additional storage space for keeping the essentials close at hand.

Still, no two sets are alike and some have significantly more space than others. Take some time to plan so you can figure out how much space you will need in your nursery so that you can actively find a set that will provide it.

●What certifications does it bear that guarantee it is safe and utilizes nontoxic finishes and components?

Since a nursery furniture set will be in close proximity to your children, one of the most important features you can determine are its safety certifications. Many of our nursery furniture sets are certified safe by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) and others are variously tested to ensure they are free of toxic chemicals like lead. Others yet are recipients of the prestigious GREENGUARD Gold Certification, which tests for over 10,000 known harmful substances.

●Is the design safe for use around babies and children?

In addition to ensuring freedom from toxic compounds and finishes, it is equally important to evaluate the physical safety of a given nursery furniture set. For example, you should consider whether it has rounded corners or an anti-tip kit, or if the toddler bed conversion kit comes with a toddler rail. Some furniture sets also feature designs with hidden hardware, safety stops on the drawers, or a minimum of moving parts or none at all, which enhance both comfort and safety.

●Will it scale with our needs as a family?

You should also consider if a given kit or its components, like a baby crib, will convert in order to scale with the needs of your family. For example, many cribs are known as convertible cribs that can convert into toddler beds, day beds and then into full size beds. Some crib sets come with the necessary bed conversion kits, others are sold separately, so look into the details.

●Does it come with the peripherals like a changing table? If not, can it be converted?

Finally, take into account what other parts or accessories come with a nursery furniture set. Some come with great quality mattress pads and toppers that can convert a dresser into a changing table. Look for these extras; they add value.

You’re Ready to Find the Best Baby Nursery Furniture Set

Once you have squared away all of these considerations, you’re ready to get onto choosing the absolutely ideal baby nursery furniture set for your home. Remember this as well - there is a big advantage of buying nursery furniture sets in terms of cost. Buying a bundle can help you save money over purchasing all of the components separately - which comes as an added benefit on top of guaranteeing aesthetic harmony.
