Dressers

One essential item in your nursery is a dresser. Baby dressers are a perfect place to store all of baby’s clothes, bedding and diapers, as well as being a great place to display photos and mementos.

You may purchase your baby dresser as part of a complete set of nursery furniture, if you’re in need of everything. Dressers come in many styles both to suit various decorating styles and to provide the exact type of storage you need.

Consider your future plans when you choose a dresser for your nursery. For example, if you’re having your first of two or three children, you’ll need to decide if you want to pass the dresser on with the first child, or keep it as part of the nursery to be used by your other children. If you’re planning for the first child to keep the dresser, you’ll want to choose one that can meet his needs as he gets older as well as when he’s a baby. If, however, you plan to keep the nursery set together, you’ll be free to choose a dresser more suited for a nursery. For example, if your nursery is small, you might choose a baby dresser with a changing table. These dressers are very convenient and great for saving space, because your changing table is located right on top of the dresser.

Dressers for a nursery are available in a wide variety of styles and materials. You’ll find wood furniture in every type of wood and every finish; from light pine to dark mahogany. In addition, if you’re on a budget, you can find dressers made from veneered woods that look great but can save you a bundle. Keep in mind, however, that veneered products don’t normally have the life of hardwoods. Therefore, if you’re purchasing nursery furniture with the idea of using the same set for two or more children, it’s wise to invest in solid hardwood furniture.

Another way to find a great dresser for your nursery is by scouring antique stores and sales. You can often find a great deal on a dresser in an antique store, and these antique dressers are usually beautifully constructed. You can paint or refinish them to match your nursery, or leave as is. If you’d like to customize it, consider painting the dresser in a color that coordinates with the colors in your nursery and give it the finishing touch with new drawer knobs.

Your baby’s nursery is one of the most important rooms in your home. Decorate yours in style with a beautiful new or antique dresser.
