Will a nursery furniture set fit in a small nursery?

Short answer: Sets save time on matching, but check the total footprint for smaller rooms. Leave space to walk round it and open drawers and doors.
  • 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.
