 The Best Nursery Storage Ideas to Keep Baby’s Space Neat and Organized

Your baby’s nursery will be the place they sleep as well as the home of most of their things, like a diaper changing station, clothes, toys and anything you’d reach for on a day-to-day basis. While that can seemingly be the recipe for a mess, the right storage will make it easier to find what you need and tidy up at the end of the day. 

Even though they're practical, shelving, storage bins and bookcases don’t have to be boring or bring down the look of your nursery and can add to your nursery decor. Well-designed pieces like our picks below keep everything neatly in place and can add character, too.

Best Bins and Baskets for Nursery Storage

There’s a bunch of little items, like pacifiers, rattles and extra backup baby items, that’ll need a home in your nursery. Bins and baskets can act as a catchall for those tiny items that are easy to lose track of. Plus, they’re available in all sorts of materials, colors and designs so you’ll easily find one that’ll flow with your nursery decor.

Best Nursery Hampers

Babies run through bibs, clothes and burp cloths like it’s their full-time job, meaning you’ll need a place to hold all their sullied items. While you can go super minimalist and opt for a basic hamper that’ll get the job done, you can also go for a stylized one that’ll pop in your nursery space.

Best Organizational Storage Helpers

Whether you’re sorting your baby’s clothes and blankets or arranging their diapering essentials, using organizing tools like drawer dividers, hanging separators or fabric storage bins can make finding what you need much easier (pawing through socks, onesies and bibs to find a pair of PJs is a lot).

Best Toy Storage

Toys, stuffies and teethers are plentiful during the early years of your baby’s life, even when they haven’t quite mastered holding their head up yet. Creating a designated space for your baby’s toys, especially as their collection grows, is helpful. Here are some options we love.

Best Book Storage

Like toys, your baby’s personal library will be an ever-growing collection that can easily get out of hand if you don’t have a spot to house them. Floating bookshelves are great if you have a smaller nursery and need to reserve floor space, while standing shelves are a good option for older babies and toddlers to explore books independently.
