Changing Tables

Get an individual changing table, or to make things easy, a matching changing table/crib set. 

Toy Chests

Toy chests are a necessity once you start accumulating tons of fun items for your child to play with. 

Rocking Chairs 

Rocking chairs are a must for any new mom. Giftmark makes a pretty standard, natural wooden chair. 

Armoires and Dressers 

Keep all of their clothes in order with a children's dresser or armoire. These are also great to store bath products.

Baby Mobiles 

• Mobiles keep baby from turning onto his belly, which can be very dangerous for an infant.
• Infant development is stimulated by mobiles, which encourage curiosity and reaching.
• Placing a mobile over the changing table will keep baby distracted (thus, cooperative) during diaper changes.
• Likewise, a mobile over the crib will make more peaceful nights and mornings.

Rugs 

• Easy to install and relatively inexpensive, throw rugs can keep a nursery looking soft and warm--even if it has a hardwood floor.
• Look for colorful, soft, and plush rugs for when the baby starts crawling.
• Rugs can be changed or removed easily--if the pattern or design has a limited life span, you can easily replace it with something more appropriate when the time comes.

Mirrors 

• These add depth and dimension to any room. A colorful or playful mirror will have some personality, or a simple, sleek mirror will make the room look more classic.
• Think ahead: as your baby gets older, will this still work? Your baby boy may not want a white and yellow mirror as he matures, or perhaps your baby girl won't like Hello Kitty  as a child.
• The Girl's Standing mirror  is a good option that girls will be able to use as they get older.

Wall Hangings 

• These are all about planning. You don't have to paint the walls pink for baby to feel at home. Coordinated, playful wall hangings can transform a room into a nursery will ease.
• Wall hangings are a good (and affordable) alternative to fancy wallpaper or custom paint jobs. Just remember to choose a theme or color scheme, and stick to it.
• A few, strategically placed wall hangings can compliment a painted or papered nursery without looking tacky.

Lamps 

• Lamps are essential for nurseries, because babies rely on the light to tell them when it's bedtime and when it's playtime.
• Try soft lights for night like the Cloud B Twilight Turtle. 
• A reading lamp can be very helpful when mom or dad are watching the baby sleep. You need just enough to read a book without disturbing the baby's slumber.
• Look for colorful, fun shades. A lamp can compliment a room's theme or make its own statement.
