Adding Storage and Style With a Nursery Dresser
There are few things as exciting as decorating a nursery for a new arrival. Choose a nursery dresser that will provide all the storage space they need to store those adorable newborn onesies while providing a timeless design that will grow with them through their adolescent years. The extensive selection available at Pottery Barn Kids makes it easy to find the one that will greet your newest addition to your home in stylish fashion.
Considerations for Choosing the Best Baby Dresser
A dresser is one of the most-used items in the entire nursery. As one of the larger pieces, it needs to make a style statement. But it is also essential that the dresser functions properly both when your child is a newborn and as they grow up into a toddler and adolescent.
- Topper: Most nursery dressers are designed with a removable topper that allow them to double as changing tables. These toppers keep a changing pad contained on top, keeping your little one at a comfortable height as you change and dress them for the day.
- Finish: The large furnishings in a nursery will help set the stage for the design of the space. Choosing a neutral and timeless finish will give you the opportunity to completely change the style of the room as they get older and develop their own personalities by simply changing out bedding and decor.
- Style: Straight style lines keep a look clean and simple, making it ideal for little boys and girls alike. When you want something with a little more flair, choose a dresser that has curved lines and intricate details.
- Storage: Every newborn is destined to have a ton of clothing, receiving blankets and sleepers. Make sure they have plenty of space to store all those adorable styles by looking for a dresser that maximizes storage while fitting well in the room.
Coordinate Nursery Furniture
The baby dresser is only the beginning. Once you find one that speaks to your style, check out Pottery Barn Kids' collection of coordinating furniture pieces, such as cribs and chests. Don't forget to pick up those crib conversion kits that transition the crib to a bed your child will continue growing into. Add a glider and ottoman for a quiet place to rock your child to sleep or to read them a good book. Make sure to add a changing pad and a decorative basket for diapers and wipes to the top of the new nursery dresser.
