The Ultimate Guide to a Celebrity-Worthy Nursery Organization

Eryn Donaldson • Mar 04, 2024

A nursery is more than just a room; it's a sanctuary of love, growth, and endless possibilities. It's full of late-night lullabies and the sweet scent of baby powder. We recently had the pleasure of organizing and creating a nursery for the glamorous Barbie Blank. Drawing inspiration from this project, we're here to spill the beans on our top tips for organizing and maintaining a beautifully organized nursery that benefits both the parent(s) and infant.

Step into the World of Vertical Bliss:

Let's talk about the magic of vertical space. We're talking floating shelves that hold baby essentials, wall-mounted book racks that double as decor, and hanging organizers that keep things within reach but out of tiny hands' reach. It's a game-changer, and often overlooked!


Label & Categorize like a Pro:

Say goodbye to the chaos of diaper changes at 3 a.m. and hello to a well-oiled machine of organized chaos. Clear bins and labels are your new BFFs, categorizing everything from diapers to toys to feeding supplies. Think of it as a mini department store, but cuter and way more functional. The clear bins allow you to see not only what items are inside but the quantity! You can see diapers running low way before you reach to find an empty bin and the headache of another task at the “wrong time”.


Label your closet rod by month to categorize by size. Place the labels at the beginning of each section to indicate the range of sizes that follow. For example, "0-3 months," "3-6 months," "6-9 months," and so on. As your baby grows, rotate clothes to the next section of the closet rod. This keeps the closet organized and makes it easy to find clothes that fit your baby's current size. Easy peasy! Check out how we utilized these labels for Barbie Blank’s nursery!


The Changing Station of Dreams:

No nursery is complete without a changing station that would make Mary Poppins proud. Picture this: diapers, wipes, rash cream, and spare clothes, all within arm's reach and neatly organized. It's like a spa day, but for diaper changes. Choose the right location, one that is easily accessible and well lit, away from windows and heaters. Consider using drawer organizers to keep smaller items like nail clippers and pacifiers in place.



Furniture that Grows with Your Baby:

Why settle for furniture that only serves one purpose? Choose pieces that multitask, like a crib with built-in storage or a dresser that moonlights as a changing table. It's practical, it's stylish, it's genius.


  • Instead of buying a separate changing table, opt for a dresser with a changing table topper. This dual-purpose furniture saves space and provides ample storage for clothing and diapering essentials. As your child outgrows the need for a changing table, simply remove the topper to transform it into a standard dresser.
  • A convertible crib is a game-changer. It starts as a standard crib for your newborn, then converts into a toddler bed, daybed, and even a full-size bed as your child grows. This not only saves you money in the long run but also ensures that the crib evolves with your child's needs.
  • Invest in shelving units with adjustable shelves. This allows you to customize the storage space to accommodate different-sized items as your child's needs change. It also ensures that the furniture remains functional and relevant as your child grows.
  • Choose a play table that can convert into a desk as your child grows older. Look for models with adjustable heights and storage options, making it suitable for different stages of development.

Closet Chic:

Who says closets have to be boring? Maximize your closet space with adjustable shelving and hanging organizers. Use labeled bins for outgrown clothes or items not currently in use. It's like your own personal baby boutique.


  • Adjustable shelving allows you to customize the layout to accommodate different-sized items, from tiny onesies to larger clothing items and storage bins.
  • Use bins to store outgrown clothes or items not currently in use, making it easy to rotate clothes as your baby grows.
  • Organize clothes by color to make it easy to find what you need. This not only looks visually appealing but also helps you quickly locate specific items without rummaging through the entire closet.

Organizing a nursery is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating a functional and peaceful space for both parent(s) and baby. With a little creativity and our expert tips, you too can create a nursery that's both stylish and practical. Because every baby deserves a little organized magic in their lives.
