Baby Furniture Ideas

Wicker Bassinet

• When preparing for the first homecoming of a newborn baby, investing in a bassinet or cradle instead of a bulky crib can be very beneficial. The reason for this is convenience. Using a bassinet allows mothers to bring their sleeping babies around easily due to its portability. Bassinets are typically small and lightweight yet stable and secure. Wicker is the primary choice for bassinets because of its lightweight material and its natural air-friendly weave.

Reading Rocker

• A rocker or rocking chair for babies is a must-have for any nursery. It comes in a variety of themes and designs, and is usually made of wood. At a certain point in the baby's development, he will learn to sit on it. And when that happens, any parent definitely wants to encourage learning. The reading rocker does this by including a small storage compartment specifically for books on the right side of the rocker. Baby and picture books may be placed in this small storage bin for easy access, perfect for a relaxed story-telling session.

Wicker Bench Storage

• Furniture made of wicker is typically cheaper than those made of wood. Going with a bench storage made of wicker might be more practical than picking its wooden counterpart. This piece serves two purposes -- as a fashionable storage compartment for the baby's toys or garments and as an alternative sitting furniture piece.

Vanity Table and Chair

• For little girls ages 2 and above, parents can consider purchasing a vanity table and chair. Basically, it is a furniture set that simulates the vanity table that some mothers have in their bedrooms. Most of these pieces come in a pink, blue, yellow or purple-colored princess theme. The set features a wooden table with a mirror and a single drawer and a wood chair.

Sports-themed Chair

• A leather-upholstered toddler basketball or baseball chair is a nice and trendy piece for baby boys or girls, especially if the nursery is set up in a sports theme. This type of chair comes in a ball. One side of the ball opens up to become a chair with a bench Ottoman leg rest. It is a fancy novelty furniture idea for babies ages 2 and above.
