21 TOP SMALL NURSERY IDEAS
1. essential zones
Think in terms of the essential zones-sleeping, diapering and playing when planning the room layout in the baby's nursery. When designing a nursery in a small space, you must focus on a needs based space plan and then pull together the rest of the details.

Fit more storage options into the baby's nursery by utilizing the space wisely. Here, a reading nook in the corner provides storage space for organizing baby's treasured books.
3. THINK VERTICAL
To get the most out of a small nursery, look for vertical storage options. Add shelves for storage.

Consider adding floor to ceiling curtains in your baby's small nursery .The curtains will draw the eyes upward, creating an illusion of height.

Invest in furniture and renovations that are multi-functional. The addition of a storage bench in the closet makes it a great space for storing baby's clothes and a reading/playing nook for the little one.
7. ACCENT WALLS
Create an accent wall in the small nursery space. The accent wall draws the eyes to the back of the room, adding drama and excitement to the small nursery.

Maximize every inch of floor space by thinking creatively. Here, the dresser/changing table fits perfectly in the floor space in the closet.
