A walk-in closet can easily be converted into a nursery that is directly connected to your room. Having your baby close by will allow for easy nighttime care while still providing both you and your baby with your own spaces. Using your walk-in closet for a nursery will also remove the need for your family to either move into a larger home or make space for her to have her own room until your new baby outgrows her nursery. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Empty your closet completely. Take this time to purge your closet of any clothing you have not worn in the past year to provide more space for your baby.
2. Assemble the crib inside the closet, as it may not fit through the door pre-assembled. Place the crib along one of the closet's sidewalls.
3. Bring the dresser into the closet. Place it along the back wall of the closet near the crib. You should be able to take at least three steps between the edge of the dresser and the crib.
4. Place the changing pad on top of the dresser. Make sure that the changing pad has an anti-slip pad attached to it. If there is not an anti-slip pad attached, lay a piece of rubber shelf paper underneath the changing pad.
5. Attach the diaper organizer to the wall above the changing pad. Remember to hang a few eye-catching toys underneath to keep your new baby entertained during changing time.
6. Set up the diaper disposal system to the left side of the dresser. Keep this closed any time it is not in use and empty it regularly.
7. Place the hamper to the right of the dresser to catch dirty clothes as you dress your baby.
8. Lay a rug in front of the crib and dresser. The rug will help tie the nursery together.
9. Position your glider on the edge of the rug opposite the dresser. Place the lamp behind the glider at an angle so that you do not knock it over when you are rocking. Use an extension cord to plug the lamp into an outlet in your room if necessary.
10. Hang the clothes organizer on the opposite side of the closet to store sweaters and sweatshirts versus hanging them. This will reduce the amount of hanging space you need.
11. Bring any clothing you have kept, along with any other items you are storing in the closet, back into the space.
12. Organize your items on the opposite side of the closet, being sure to maintain a definite space difference between the closet and the nursery.
