New babies often require new things. This means that every single new mother needs a place to store these items. Following is a look at seven essential storage accessories that new moms will want to have on hand before the baby is born.
1. Dresser
Every baby needs a dresser for storing baby outfits, bibs, diapers, and other accessories. Thankfully, dressers come in all sizes, shapes, and colors to make it easy for expectant parents to pick the one that best suits their needs and budget.
2. Bookshelf
Even small babies can enjoy colorful baby books, so don’t put off getting your new little one some colorful books as well as a bookshelf to hold them. Make sure the one you buy has ample room so it can grow with your collection.
3. Diaper Bag
A diaper bag doesn’t have to be enormous or expensive but it does need to have room for a changing pad, diapers, wet wipes, a couple of changes of clothes, and milk bottles. You may even want to find one that’s large enough to hold your wallet or purse to reduce the number of bags you have to carry when you’re out and about.
4. Toy Chest
A toy chest may take up a bit of space in your nursery but you’ll be so glad you have one. They’re a great place for storing baby toys, rattles, and gadgets so you don’t step on them as you walk across the floor. 
5. Stackable Bins
Stackable bins are an ideal nursery storage accessory if the room is short on space. They can be used for everything from clothes, toys, books, feeding pumps, or blankets.
6. Under-Crib Storage Containers
If your crib has plenty of room underneath, use it to store items that you aren’t currently using. Under-crib storage containers are ideal for keeping clothes that your baby doesn’t fit into yet, seasonal clothes, and books and toys your baby will use when they are older.
7. Hamper
Every mom will want a hamper for dirty laundry. Store it someplace convenient yet out of sight to keep your nursery from looking cluttered.
An alternative to buying these storage devices is to have them built into the nursery closet. A reputable company such as Closet & Storage Concepts Charlotte can help you create a customized closet that will enable you to store all of your baby’s items with ease even if you do not have a lot of floor space. Take a careful look at your nursery before the baby is born, consider your storage needs and options carefully, and then choose the solutions that will work best for you personally.
