For the ultimate in one-of-a-kindness for your nursery, have you looked into round cribs?

Of course, such an item is not intended for the thrifty shopper (which is probably why neither of us has a round crib) as the crib itself is a tad pricey, never mind the bedding or the mattress.

However, if money is not an issue and you want to give your baby a unique nursery experience, you might consider a round crib.

There are a couple of key benefits to round cribs that the regular old rectangular ones can’t compete with:

• No corners for baby to bonk his head on
• Baby gets a 360 degree view of his room, no staring at the wall for a baby in a round crib

Through our research, we’ve found that some makers of round cribs have extra storage built underneath such as shelving for diapers. Pretty smart, we think!

If you would like a truly special nursery for your baby, an unconventional crib can add magic and whimsy as well as being quite a conversation piece.

One important thing to keep in mind is that it’s very difficult to source round cribs and accessories for them so if you spot one you like online, you’d be wise to purchase the mattress and bedding for it at that time to possibly save on shipping costs.

Invest in a quality piece that you really love because you’re definitely going to want to hand it down to future generations.

Trust us, taking down the crib is kind of a sad day that symbolizes your baby growing into a big kid. It will be even sadder if you have completely fallen in love with the furniture.

Here’s a few crib and mattress and round crib bedding sets that we think are just beautiful:

Maybe they should  make round cribs that transition to plant stands or something so you can get more use out of them!
