Decorating a nursery space takes creativity, especially when the space in question is roughly the size of a suburban closet. Need a little inspiration? Whether you’re making the best of a smaller-than-average bedroom, designing a ​​shared space, or literally putting a baby in a closet, these small nursery ideas can make a big difference. Don't get discouraged! Your “Eureka” moment is just a few short clicks away.




Looking for a traditional crib without the traditional bulk? Go mini! Mini cribs look and feel like the real thing, but their scaled-down frames and flexible features make them ideal for small nursery spaces. And with many models ringing up at less than $400, a mini crib may even help take the squeeze off your budget!




We all know babies have “business” to do, but taking care of that business shouldn’t mean sacrificing half your nursery space. Need a better option? Skip the traditional changing table, and opt for a clever, space-saving alternative, like a crib-top changing station. These portable changing trays sit vertically across the crib, secured with straps and rail-hugging grooves. When the diapering is done, the entire unit disappears under the crib. Genius!




When you have a small nursery, every square inch counts. Have space under the crib? Evict those dust-bunnies and reclaim their grubby realm in the name of sensible storage! If your nursery door swings in, consider reversing the direction​ or install an over-the-door storage rack to make use of the narrow space behind. You’ll be surprised how much extra space you can find when you think outside of the box.
