This little toy box comes with wheels and a rope handle. During those immobile days, it's a great spot to store some toys you want handy for playing on the floor, and once they're older they will love dragging/rolling it around as a toy by itself.

This ceramic globe nightlight has little star cutouts that will show up on your baby's walls. It has a little switch on the cord that's easy to grab, so it's perfect for beside your glider to give you just enough light to feed the baby without blinding it (or yourself) and waking it up.

You might be wondering what in the world a tiny baby needs a full size dresser for - not for clothes. But, you can use the top as a changing table, store your diapers, cream, wipes, etc in the top drawers, keep your extra sheets in the bottom drawers, and then let your baby keep using the dresser as they get older. This one by Ikea is a favorite because it holds so much (just make sure you anchor it to the wall).

If you're already planning to put a rug in your baby's room, consider one that will benefit them as they get bigger. This 3 x 5' rug has a lot for your baby to learn from, letters, colors, and shapes. Plus, they will love running their little hands across the wool material.

A bookshelf is definitely a long-term product for the nursery.

You can use this 8 x 8.75 x 8.75" rope basket for toy storage, as a hamper, or flip it over to serve as a little table to put a sound machine or night light. The three poms on it are adorable and will add a little charm to any nursery.

When you're carrying a baby, a bottle, your phone, and probably something else, turning on a dim lamp isn't exactly easy.

You're going to want a table of some sort next to your glider so you have easy access to pacifiers, a bottle, a drink for yourself, or your phone, so consider getting one that can transition into your child's nightstand when they're a little older. This delta nightstand is 23.25"W x 18.75"D x 23"H, has two drawers for storage, and can be paired with its complementing furniture line or look great with other models as well.

Blackout curtains are a must if you want your baby to nap during the day (or before the sun goes down in the summer).

Just remember to measure your window to determine how many panels you need and what length will work best.

This colorful clothes hanger is just over 4" tall and has eight hooks coming off around it. During the baby stage you can hang a sleepsack up between uses, drape some headbands on it, or store some hooded towels.

You can get chalkboard paint tinted to just about any color, which, in itself, makes for a fun accent wall in a room.

Then, when your baby is older it will be a fun spot for them to play and draw.

Unless you have a camera monitor you plan to mount to the wall, you'll want a shelf where you can put it so you can angle it right to see into the crib. This round metal shelf from Target is a great option, especially if you can disconnect the cord from your camera because you can discretely hide the cord through one of the grid holes. You can get this shelf in gold or gray.

There's not much that needs to be said about this hamper, the cute factor is clear. It's 15.5" tall (not including the metallic gold horn and ears) and has an 11.5" diameter. You can toss those dirty onesies right in it and still have the nursery looking cute.

A good diaper pail is key for a nursery, but they're usually not exactly cute. Diaper Genie now offers their famous pails in several colors, one of which is bound to compliment your nursery. If you want to make it even cuter, you can add some decals to give it a little character.

During the first 12 months, a bookcase will serve as storage, a place to display pictures, and decor. This one from Crate & Kids will do that as well, but then gives you the option to transition it into a little doll house when your kiddo is bigger. It stands about 20" tall, comes with an anchoring kit, and has little window cutouts around it for maximum fun. This is definitely an investment piece, but one that will last for years.

Not all rooms come equipped with an overhead light, so if your nursery needs some lighting, this 5' tripod floor lamp is a cute and colorful option. It comes with the base and shade (which has multi-colored poms all over it), has a turn knob for turning it on/off, and the power cord has a chevron pattern - because why not? To make this even more functional, consider using a smart bulb that you can control from your phone so you can dim or brighten the room with ease.

How cute are these little animal wall hooks? They may not be made for kids but they will look great in a jungle or zoo themed room.

This set of five animal hooks comes mounted on a piece of mango wood that measures 22"W x 3.5"H and each hook can hold up to five pounds.
