Having experienced this first hand. These are some of the tips my wife and I used to set up our nursery. The goal was to make the most out of what we had and I think we did it. It's amazing how getting the right types of storage and choosing the right colors can make a room appear much larger than it is. There's also ways to find it at a discount. Contrast and Accent. A bright yet calming color will enlarge and brighten the room. The contrast between a white molding and the warmer brighter color you choose can make windows seem larger. Generally giving the space a larger feel. Use the Space under the Bed. Don't let the space below the bed or crib go to waste. It makes a great space for out of site storage. Plastic bins work perfectly in this space to store extra bedding and larger sizes of clothes.pottery barn for kids has a great selection of these types of furniture sets.
