Often it is overlooked how versatile a simple flat surface can be in any nursery or even child’s room. This is often why a baby changing station is only used during the nursing stages, it is why Dream Furniture’s baby changing stations are not just a changing station, they can be adapted to work for a lifetime.
Our compactums are made to be used well beyond the nursing stage. However, this does mean they work perfectly as the main baby changing station in the nursery. The Mod Compactum is what we recommend most start with when looking for a compactum for this use. As this is easily the best all-rounder, with shelves, drawers, and a medium sized workstation. However, the Universal Compactum, the Scandy Compactum, and the Carter Deluxe Compactum are all perfect for a range of uses. A combination of drawers, shelving, and doors means that you can use the compactums as all-in-one changing stations that you need. Just remember that compactums are often the mainstay piece of furniture in any nursery.
Knowing what a compactum is, what it is used for, and how you will rely on it for your nursery is important, but knowing how to choose one is even more important. There are several things that you need to consider, each impacting the overall feel and comfort of your nursery, whether you are just changing a diaper or nursing your bundle of love.
Dream Furniture has a wide range of nursery equipment, from rocking chairs to cots, each one will decide how comfortable and usable your nursery is. Choosing a compactum that perfectly compliments the design and comfort of the nursery is vital to future growth.
- Material: The first thing you need to decide when choosing your compactum is the material of the entire piece, as well as the material of the top surface. Dream Furniture uses high quality MDF wood, which can be painted almost any colour. Dream furniture use only odourless, low VOC baby friendly paints. MDF is considered one of the best and most durable wood finishes for baby and kids furniture as it is solid, heavy and extremely durable.
- Depth: The depth of your compactum is how far out from the wall surface it will stand. Some are deeper, making it possible to change your baby far away from the edge, whereas others that we have, such as the Carter Compactum, are Taking up less walking space in the nursery.
- Length: Often, we have found that compactums that compliment a changing station are not required to be as long as others. Whereas the longer compactums, such as the Carter Deluxe Compactums, which can stand on their own, must be long enough to accommodate every imaginable use.
- Uses: You need to decide early in the selection process what your compactum will do in the nursery for you. Will it simply be another storage location, or will it be the mainstay next to the cot. Many mothers find that compactums are the perfect place to start their nursery decorating experience, as it easily serves as the centre point in any room.
- Colours: As mentioned earlier, Dream Furniture has a wide range of colours to choose from for all nursery furniture. This means that you can have a compactum that is one solid colour, two complimenting colours, or even one with colour coded drawers to make organization easier.
- Functions: This is not the same as uses. Each compactum is entirely unique, from the way you style it to the way we have designed them. All of them can work as baby changing stations, but not all of them have shelves. Some have drawers, some have doors, some have shelves, some have a combination of all three. Decide on the function you need to choose the perfect compactum for your nursery.
