3 Sprouts Storage Boxes

Cloth bins are simple storage solutions, but they definitely don’t have to be boring. The felt animal friends on each 3 Sprouts storage box add a pop of fun to the nursery. And they’re designed specifically to fit in standard cubby hole shelving units.

Buy it: $17 each, 3Sprouts.com

Koala Baby Closet Dividers

Baby grows so fast that it can be hard for his or her wardrobe to keep up. Keep the closet organized with cute dividers. Complete with labels, Koala baby dividers allow you to customize your organization based on baby’s age, baby’s size, season, etc.

KidKraft Bookcase

A bookcase complete with a nook to read all those books? Genius. Open shelving units are popular nursery items, perfect for showcasing all those cute books and toys. And additional seating makes this unit even more versatile.

b.box Diaper Caddy

This diaper caddy is the perfect subtle organizational tool for your nursery, featuring a space for a box of wipes, an adjacent divided section and a drawer for all your extra changing necessities. But it doesn’t scream ‘baby.’ As your child grows, replace that box of wipes with a box of tissues. Use it to store arts and crafts supplies down the road. Or keep it for yourself to organize your cosmetics. With five colors to choose from, there’s a style that’s perfect for your kids — or you.

Buy it: $60, bboxbaby.com

IKEA GONATT Crib

The baby-friendly version of under-bed storage, the GONATT crib offers three separate drawers for bonus storage space.

Laundry is boring, but your hamper doesn’t have to be. When it’s as cute as this wicker elephant, it can even be a nursery focal point.
