Hi there, not sure if I’ve posted in the correct group/subject but we are expecting our third child soon who will eventually be in a nursery in our box room. Does anyone have any tips for creating as much space as possible in a small nursery such as particular furniture etc? I’ve attached a pic of the size/layout of the room in case it helps. There is a small radiator underneath the window. Thanks

You can get cots/cot beds with drawers underneath which give you some extra storage.

Don't get a changing table, either use the floor (my preference) or one that goes over the cot or attached to the top of a chest of drawers.

We got a beanbag for us to sit on by the cot if we were feeding/settling DC as feeding chairs or rocking chairs take up a massive amount of room.

We never had chairs / changing tables. Has to take the fireplace out as twins weren’t on the agenda!

We had the cots and a chest of drawers -
didn’t need anything else.
