Double-Duty Seating
Little ones can use this space as a seating area or remove the pillows to create a desk. The built-in storage below offers easy access to frequently used items, and it doubles as a step for smaller children.
Grow-with-Me Storage
Use an armoire to serve multiple functions as the child grows. It stores baby clothes in the nursery, becomes an art center during elementary school, and turns into a computer desk for high school. At each stage, the doors keep clutter nicely tucked away.
Hiding clothes under the bed isn’t always a bad thing. Drawers beneath this bed make it easy to access and organize your child’s T-shirt collection.
The secret to this storage-packed bedroom is providing lots of organization space without making things look cluttered. Under bed drawers and hidden headboard shelves store items inconspicuously. Other storage items, like this bedside table and purple bin, coordinate with the decor for a cohesive, clutter-free look.
This long bookcase makes space for everything including flowers, collectibles, and pretty storage crates.
Multifunctional Dresser
A changing table usually has short life, but this multifunctional dresser grows with your baby. A fresh color and a changing pad turn this mirrored antique into the ideal spot to hide diapers and other baby supplies.
Window Seating
A free-standing bench like this one has the look of a window seat without the expense of building one. Shelves below the padded seat can hold games, books, or toys, while the narrow drawers would be good for toy cars, crayons, or secret treasures.
Make Use of Niches and Nooks
Take advantage of every inch of available space by outfitting odd corners of a room with desktops and shelving. Though this niche is shallow, the desk and shelf unit above offer display space and a handy work surface.
Corner Bookshelves
Built-in corner bookshelves outfit a corner of this girl’s room with plenty of storage and style. The base molding repeats the height of the room’s baseboards, while a narrow molding accents the top shelf. For another custom touch, purchase bookshelf baskets and build a bookcase to hold them perfectly.
Desk Units
Built-in desks can be expensive, yet the expense may be well worth it, considering the heavy use such a unit can withstand. Moldings dress up the drawers as well as the crown of the shelf unit attached to the wall.
Tower Storage
Perfect for diaper necessities right now, this versatile storage unit will transition to hold toddler toys and books later.
Armoire
Though a baby room typically only includes a crib, chest, and rocking chair, this designer had the foresight to include a large armoire/display cabinet that will be useful for many years to come. While this type of piece would be expensive if purchased new, it might be a bargain when it’s a refurbished, repainted garage-sale find .
