Cribs and changing tables can be bulky, not to mention costly. Investing in smaller furniture with multiple uses is a great way to maximize your space (and save some money!).
Get the right crib: find a small framed crib with storage built in underneath.
Skip the changing table: put your changing pad on top of the dresser or buy a 2- in -1 dresser/changing table combo.
Choose a small area rug: this will make the space look larger.
Replace the large recliner: consider a chair and ottoman combo for feeding and bedtime stories. Ottomans can double as table space and often have storage built in—plus they can be tucked away under cribs or in closets when they’re not being used.
