Do you ever feel like you always have several birthday cards
to send, or birthday parties to attend in the month of September? You’re not
imagining it! September is the most common birth month for babies in the US and
fall babies in general are quite common. Whenever your new baby may be due, or
if you’ve already got one you are likely looking for ways to better organize
your home, as every baby has one thing in common: the need for space!
Space may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you
think of a baby’s needs but hear us out. When you factor in a crib, changing
station, rocking chair, and other baby room furniture, your little guy or gal
can take up a surprising amount of space. Throw in baby room décor, and you’ve
got yourself a grown-up sized storage challenge.

How to Handle Baby Room Furniture with Limited Space
If this were a perfect world, you’d have a spacious bedroom
with plenty of space. If you live like the rest of us, in a smaller home or
apartment, you may have to get creative with the room you have. Additionally, the
new baby should sleep in your bedroom for the first six months of their life. Sharing
your bedroom with your baby isn’t mandatory, but it can help put you and your partner’s
minds at ease.

I have a small bedroom. How do I room share with my baby?
If you do decide to share your room for the first six months
of life, it may be easier said than done, depending on the size of your
bedroom. If you’re in a bind for bedroom space, mini cribs or bassinets can
become your best friend.
You can find a wide range of foldable, portable, and
convertible bassinets online. Between naps, they are easy to roll around or
even fold and store, depending on the model. Just ensure whichever space-saving
baby room furniture you choose falls in line with all the safe sleeping
recommendations.

Where do I find the space when it’s time to move a baby to their own
room?
If you have a room, you typically use as an office or guest
room, it’s time to get comfy working from the kitchen table or telling guests
to enjoy sleeping on the couch. Don’t have a spot to keep office furniture or a
mattress while you need a nursery? Call us at Hwy 67 Self-Storage or consider
your other self-storage options.

Combine fashion and function through multi-purpose baby furniture.
Don’t sacrifice style to save space in your bedroom or baby
room. Multipurpose furniture provides a functional solution for your baby’s
furniture needs. Use the top of a nice dresser as your changing station and
consider floating shelves to keep shelving units from eating up valuable square
footage.

Should I hold onto my baby room décor and furniture?
That’s entirely up to you! If you anticipate more crumb
snatchers in the future, we recommend holding onto as much baby room décor and
furniture as you can. The overall cost of a nursery is around $2,000 and that’s
IF you don’t splurge on the trendiest furniture.
Baby room furniture and décor have adult-sized storage
requirements. When you want to hold onto those perfect nursery items without
cramping the space your little broke best friend will need, turn to Hwy 67
Self-Storage.
