There’s nothing quite as exciting as welcoming home a new baby – except, of course, two new babies. As a soon-to-be parent of twins, you’re undoubtedly already planning how you’ll manage caring for two newborns. Your nursery setup will act as a critical tool to assist you.
It can be hard to strike the right balance between comfort, function, and style when designing a nursery for two. That’s why we’ve put together this quick list of tips to help you find the essentials. Read on for our best tips to help you create the perfect safe haven for your new babies.
Double the Cribs
Naturally, the first and most critical nursery feature to consider is your crib setup. You’ll need two cribs, one for each baby. Multiple cribs can feel bulky, so it’s important to choose the right design to maximize space.
We suggest selecting cribs with the floating effect design, as seen in Natart’s Como collection. This ultra-modern, luxurious crib style sits on a small pedestal, giving the appearance that the crib is floating. By removing the traditional, sometimes bulky lower portion of the crib, you reduce the footprint of the cribs and make the nursery feel more spacious.
Two Rocking Chairs for Comfort and Convenience
Keeping your twins on the same feeding and sleeping schedule can make everything easier for you. When they eat together, they typically get on the same sleep schedule. And when they sleep simultaneously, you have time to take care of your own needs.
To accomplish this, having two rocking chairs is hugely helpful. It allows you and a co-parent or member of your support system to feed, comfort, and bond with one child while you do the same with the other. We suggest choosing a double rocker if space is limited, but having two can also work depending on the layout of your nursery.
Dresser with Ample Storage for Two
One area you can avoid seeing double is your dresser. Here, just make sure you choose a dresser with plenty of storage for double the clothing, diapers, and other essentials. It can be useful to lay out all the items you’ve accumulated for the twins to visually see how much space you need before purchasing your dresser.
We recommend selecting the Como collection dresser, which matches perfectly with the Como floating effect design crib. The collection comes in dusk, dove, white, and wheat so you can match whatever nursery style you’re after.
Two Baby Monitors: Ensuring Safety and Peace of Mind
Baby monitors allow you to ensure your babies’ safety even when they’re asleep. For twins, you’ll want to get a monitor system that provides a view of each crib and each baby. If you hear crying, the dual monitor system allows you to quickly determine which baby is fussing and address their needs without waking the other.
Not sure what to look for? We recommend choosing a baby monitor with split-screen capabilities. This way, you can carry just one monitor with you, but connect to the camera in each crib.
Having twins may feel overwhelming at times, but it’s important to remember that you can do this. With a few essentials, including two space-maximizing cribs, a double rocker, a baby monitoring system, and a spacious dresser, you’ll set yourself up for success. It might sound minimal, but designing a nursery for two doesn’t have to be complicated. With this perfect balance of comfort and functionality, you’ll have everything you need to care for your new babies.
