A crib for a baby to sleep in.
Of course, the baby needs a place to sleep and since babies sleep a lot, this is an important piece of furniture. You can choose either a crib or a bassinet. Make sure that the crib or bassinet provides enough support and is safe in use. There are many different styles, so you can match the style of the crib to the rest of the room.

A changing table is useful to change diapers or clothing
Besides sleeping, the baby will be busy eating and filling diapers. Therefore, it is convenient to place a changing table close to the crib. Often changing tables have a comfortable pad for the baby and shelves to have a supply of diapers and other necessities.

Storage baskets to store necessities
Even though babies are still small, plenty of storage room for all the necessities is an important element of a nursery. It is best to place the necessities close to where they are needed. Examples of this idea are to place a basket with blankets near the crib and a basket of diapers near the changing table. Of course, a basket to place toys and stuffed animals are also great to keep the room organized.
