Every couple expecting their first baby at some point faces the task of designing and furnishing the baby's room. And the closer this time gets, the more the expectant mom and dad worry about whether they will be able to equip the little one's room so that the baby feels comfortable in it.


What is needed to furnish a baby's room?

Baby bed (cot)

The cot is the most important and one of the first investments you, as future parents should make. It is good not to improvise by cutting cost when buying it, as your baby will spend a lot of time in it and should feel comfortable and convenient.

There are many models, sizes and brands of sleeping cots at the moment, but it appears two types are especially popular among parents - the classic wooden cots and folding cots.

Classic wooden cot

This type of baby cot has either three solid sides and one lattice side or two solid sides and two lattice type. They are usually of medium size, and can be equipped with drawers and the lattice can be adjusted (removed and lifted). The baby can sleep in the cot until he grows up, after which you can transform it into a children bed.

Popular brands:

  • Stor
  • Arbor
  • Chipolino
  • Cam
  • Lorelli and others

Foldable

This type of cot is preferred by families who have limited space in the baby's room. They are light, made of high quality materials, assemble quickly, are portable and are very comfortable for the little ones.

Their price is very nice and affordable. Sadly, the only downside to this is that the baby can only sleep in them for a few months, after which you will have to consider buying a new bed.

  • Lorelli
  • Stor
  • Zizito
  • KinderKraft
  • Chico and others

Chest of drawers or changing table

You can not miss this product when furnishing the room, because no matter what we talk about, you will have to change a lot of dirty diapers, and the changing table is the most comfortable and useful furniture you can buy after the cot.

The good news is that here you can choose whether to stop at a classic changing table or buy a chest of drawers that has space for a changing table.

If you have enough space in the room, you can bet on the classic changing table, as it is designed specifically for this purpose. One major thing that runs through your mind in this case is whether you will be able to use it after the diaper change period is over. Our advice is to stop at a table that can be easily transformed into a bookcase, for toy or something else that will be useful for your home.

If your space is limited, a large and nice chest of drawers with lots of compartments that has space for a changing table would do just as well. The advantage of this option is that once you are done with the diapers, you can simply remove the stand and your child will have an ideal chest of drawers for storing clothes or toys.

Rocking chair

The comfortable rocking chair is probably the most useful purchase for you and your baby. Sitting comfortably on it, you can fall asleep, eat or watch the little man while he sleeps. The chair is extremely useful as you can hold your baby for hours without straining your arms, back or waist.

When choosing this item you should take into account only your tastes and preferences. It is only important that the chair is comfortable, of good quality and has a soft back and armrests.

If you have more money, our advice is to invest in a high-quality rocking chair, which over time can fit perfectly into the interior of any of the other rooms in the home and yet remain valid for use.


Toy basket

It is quite common for children's room to be crowded with toys of different shapes and sizes. While the baby is yet little, he won't play much with toys, however, as he grows, in just a few month, he gets used to playing with so much toys.

To save yourself the worry of not having so many toys to store, invest in a convenient storage basket. What model, brand and size to choose is a matter of your personal preferences. However, we advise that you pay attention to the quality and the ease of carriage of the toy basket.

Wardrobe or chest of drawers for storing clothes

Babies need a lot of wears and a lot of space to store them. That is why in every baby's room there is a wardrobe or a large and comfortable chest of drawers.

When choosing this type of equipment, it is good to take into account the free space you have in the room. If it is smaller, a good choice would be chests of drawers and open shelves for storage, and if it is larger - children's wardrobes with additional drawers.

Popular brands of wardrobes and chests of drawers:

  • Frozen
  • Stor
  • Delta Children
  • Amaya
  • Cars and others

 

Decoration and accessories

Once you buy the equipment for the baby's room, you have to decorate it with a lot of attention and love.

  • Paint the walls in a cheerful and neutral color like yellow. If yellow comes in more, you can bet on pure white walls, which can come to life with colorful drawings or decorate with cheerful children's paintings.
  • Place a soft, antibacterial mat on the floor, on which your baby will crawl and play with toys over time.
  • Choose soft lighting to soothe and lull your baby to sleep. These can be several night lamps placed in different places in the room, or you can combine the lighting from the chandelier with glowing stars on the ceiling.

How to sell baby room equipment if you are a retailer?

  • If you want expectant parents to shop from you, keep a wide range of all baby room items. The variety of models, sizes and brands of baby equipment will help expectant moms and dads to make the right purchase decision.
  • Bet on modern, high-quality furniture and accessories, as parents are looking for the best for their baby. Always, before exposing an item of baby room equipment, make sure that it is really of high quality and completely safe for children.
  • To attract the interest of moms and dads, set aside a special place in your store to display several options and styles of baby room furniture. This makes it easier for your customers to have a feel of what buying a certain model and brand of furniture seem like.


  • Try to offer baby room equipment from different price ranges. Offering furniture (sets or single furniture and accessories) of all classes will allow your customers to judge calmly and buy what suits their financial capabilities at the moment.
  • Partner with a trusted wholesale distributor to ensure that the furniture you offer is stylish, modern, of high quality and manufactured by popular and proven manufacturers.
  • Always be ready to assist if your customers need advice when choosing.
  • Run regular campaigns with discounts and rebates. This will not only increase your sales, but will also help parents invest the saved money in something else that the baby needs.
