Don’t bother yourself looking for this or that piece for hours, just make or renovate some of existing IKEA pieces and voila! Let’s start with these cool hacks.
Cribs
The main thing in any nursery is your child’s bed, so take a look at Gulliver, Stuva, Sundvik, Sniglar and other cots and cribs – they are actually ready to use but you may still hack them with paints to match your nursery color scheme, add upholstery, add framing to imitate a house or do whatever else comes to your mind and what matches your nursery style and colors.

A nursery can’t do without a changing table, and one can be easily made of various IKEA items. IKEA Hemnes dresser, Kallax or Expedit shelf, Tarva dressers are the best items to renovate them into changing tables: they have enough space for changing on top and they have much storage space for various necessary stuff.
