Hey there! Welcome to my blog on creating a nursery closet that can grow with your child. As a mom myself, I know how quickly kids grow and how their clothing and storage needs can change. It can be overwhelming trying to figure out how to best organize their closet in a way that will work for years to come. But don’t worry, with these tips and tricks, you’ll have a closet that is both functional and beautiful.

Start with a Plan 🗺️

Before you start organizing your nursery closet, take some time to plan out your storage needs. Think about the types of clothes your child will need now and as they grow. How many hanging items will you need? How many folded items? Will you need space for shoes or other accessories? Once you have a clear idea of what you need, it will be easier to create a closet that works for you.

Use Adjustable Shelving 📚

One of the best ways to create a nursery closet that can grow with your child is to use adjustable shelving. With adjustable shelving, you can easily change the height of the shelves to accommodate different sizes of clothing. This means that you won’t have to completely redo the closet every time your child goes through a growth spurt.

Choose the Right Hangers 🧥

Choosing the right hangers for your child’s clothes can make a big difference in the organization of their closet. For smaller sizes, consider using velvet hangers, as they are slim and won’t take up too much space. As your child gets older, you may want to switch to wooden hangers for a more sophisticated look.

Incorporate Storage Bins & Baskets 📦

Storage bins and baskets are a great way to keep your child’s closet organized. Use them to store items that won’t be hanging up, like socks, underwear, and pajamas. They can also be used for outgrown clothing that you want to save for future children or donate.

Add Labels & Dividers 🏷️

Adding labels and dividers to your child’s closet can make a big difference in keeping it organized. Use labels for each item of clothing to make it easy for your child to find what they need, especially if they are too young to read. Dividers can be used to separate different sizes or types of clothing.

Keep a Donation Bin ♻️

As your child outgrows clothing, it’s important to have a place to put items that you no longer need. Keep a donation bin in the closet, so it’s easy to toss in items you want to get rid of. This will help keep your child’s closet clutter-free and make it easier to find what you need.
