11 Stylish Nursery Bookshelves

Children’s books are one of the sweetest parts of the early years, so as soon as you announce your pregnancy, do not be surprised if you are inundated with kid lit! Do not get us wrong, the more books the better. But to cut down on clutter, creating a space to display these special stories is important. That is where these nursery bookshelves come in! Not only do nursery bookcases offer a much-needed nursery storage solution, but they can also be an integral part of your nursery decor! From floating shelves to thematic nursery bookcases, here are some of our favourite nursery bookshelves...

Dollhouse Nursery Bookshelves

The dollhouse nursery bookcase is a hot trend right now and you might be lucky enough to scoop up a used one off Facebook Marketplace to repaint and spruce up for your kids. A more modern take is this lucite version which is giving us all the heart eyes. Either way, a dollhouse bookcase is a great transitional piece for a nursery because it can be used for book and trinket storage in the early years, and later, for playtime with their dolls.

Floating bookshelves like these can be a beautiful way to showcase books (or art) in any room of the house, but they are especially adorable in a baby’s room. There are so many options for hanging bookshelves for the nursery from acrylic to metal to wood; you can even get crafty and make your own from scratch with a little help from Pinterest or YouTube. This hand-crafted set from Etsy is picture-perfect for the baby nursery.

Being a parent is all about multi-tasking...so why not knock out form and function with your baby nursery bookshelves. Store allllll the things with style and ease in a highly functional, sturdy cabinet system featuring doors, drawers, and more. Over time the ratio of books to clothes or toys can shift fluidly as Baby grows into a little kid, a big kid, and then a teen. This is one of those investment pieces for the nursery that is absolutely worth it, for all the ways it will continue to accommodate your child as he or she grows.
