Where should I put a nursery furniture set in the nursery?
Short answer: Put the nursery furniture set where it does not block the route to the cot. Keep it away from windows and blind cords, and wall-fix it as the instructions say.
- Measure the room and plan where each piece goes before ordering.
- Check what is in the set (cot, cot bed, dresser, wardrobe) and the mattress size the cot takes.
- Wall-anchor wardrobes and drawers as the instructions say.
What the guidance says
- Place the cot away from radiators, direct sunlight and blind cords.
