Planning a Nursery? Here’s What You Actually Need

Designing your baby's nursery is an exciting part of preparing for parenthood—but with so many choices and endless Pinterest boards, it can quickly become overwhelming. What do you really need, and what’s just nice to have? At BabyNest, we help new parents simplify their planning with beautifully curated nursery furniture sets that cover all the essentials in one easy purchase.

The 3 Essentials Every Nursery Needs

When it comes to nursery planning, focus on functionality and comfort. You don’t need dozens of pieces to create a perfect space—just a few well-chosen items designed to last.

1. A Cot or Cot Bed

Your baby’s cot is the most important piece of furniture. It should be sturdy, safe, and ideally convertible into a toddler bed. This ensures you can use it for years as your child grows.

At BabyNest, our cot beds offer multiple mattress heights and durable construction, designed with both safety and longevity in mind.

2. A Changing Unit

A dedicated changing space saves your back and keeps everything you need—nappies, wipes, creams—neatly stored and within reach. Many of our changing units include drawers or shelving for extra convenience.

Even better? Once your baby outgrows the need for changes, these units double as dressers or storage cabinets.

3. A Wardrobe or Dresser

Babies may be small, but their clothes and accessories quickly pile up! A wardrobe or dresser provides organised space for outfits, blankets, and essentials. It also keeps your nursery clutter-free and visually calm.

Why Buy a Nursery Furniture Set?

Instead of buying individual items and hoping they match, our nursery furniture sets take the guesswork out of nursery planning. You’ll get perfectly coordinated pieces that match in colour, style, and size—saving you time and often money, too.

Sets typically include:

• A cot or cot bed

• A changing unit

• A wardrobe or dresser

• Sometimes additional extras like shelves or under-bed storage

This bundled approach ensures you’re fully equipped from day one—and avoids the hassle of mixing and matching.

Built to Grow with Your Family

BabyNest furniture is designed for longevity. Many of our pieces adapt as your child grows—like cot beds that transform into toddler beds and changing units that convert into dressers. It’s a smart investment that lasts well beyond the newborn stage.

Make the Most of Your Space

Whether you have a spacious nursery or just a cozy corner, our furniture sets are available in a variety of sizes and finishes to suit your home. From modern white to soft greys and natural wood tones, you’ll find a style that fits beautifully with your décor.
