It must be practical for storing everything you need for changing, safe for your child and stylish of course to look good in your decor.

Rattan: a soft and comfortable material
We have selected this changing table to furnish your child's room. This model is quite compact so you can easily fit it into the room of your choice.
Choose a model at the right height and with plenty of storage. This model is perfect for small spaces, the changing mat is bordered by a rattan riser which allows you to change your diaper safely.
The 2 shelves below will allow you to store diapers, wipes, cotton, swaddling clothes, etc.
For diapers I advise you to use what is best for your child. We have selected the EcoPeaCo brand for you. These hypoallergenic and eco-friendly bamboo diapers are gentle on your little one's skin and on our planet.
If the room allows it, you should play the rattan card to the max! Here as an example, the elephant head is a great reminder of the material and in the other photo the apple mirror is also very matching. Installing a mirror near the changing table is a great idea. Very quickly, your little one will recognize his reflection in the mirror and it will keep him busy while you take care of him.

Diverting a piece of furniture to adapt it to the baby's needs
You can very well choose a piece of furniture that you already have in the house to create a changing table yourself.
If you love old furniture or are attached to a family piece of furniture, why not divert its original function. By installing a basket or a mattress on the top, you will have a unique changing table.
Don't hesitate to repaint the furniture in a soft color to soften a piece of furniture that is too massive.
You can also place two Ikea pine chests of drawers next to each other. The advantage is that you can organize this piece of furniture with changing supplies on one side and your child's clothes on the other.
A wall-mounted changing table to save space.
If you live in an apartment or the space dedicated to your child is small, know that there are wall-mounted changing tables. These are fixed to the wall, the part in the wall is equipped with a shelf to allow optimal storage and above all practical access to everything you need. The other part opens horizontally to make room for a real comfortable changing mat for baby.
Our favorite model is the NOGA wall-mounted changing table, a simple and elegant model. The design of this hanging changing table is really successful with pretty curves.
No changing table is also good:
If you don't have space in the baby's room or in your bathroom you can use a nice basket (designed for this purpose) with a suitable mattress. This way you can change baby wherever you want, on your bed, on the kitchen table or on the sofa.
The same goes for changing products and diapers. If you don't have space, put them all in a basket that you can take with you every time you change your baby.
You can find this type of basket at Oli Ella
Where should you put your changing table in your baby’s room?
When choosing where to put your baby's changing table, it is important to consider several factors. First, you should choose a location that is close to electrical outlets so you can turn off the power when changing your baby and changing basket.
Additionally, you should make sure that the changing table is at a comfortable height for you and your baby. Also, avoid places near windows, as the sun's rays can be dangerous for your baby.
Finally, choose a location that is easily accessible and spacious enough to allow you to move around comfortably while changing and feeding your baby.
How to adapt a tray to make a changing table for my baby?
If you want to make a changing table for your baby, you will need to adapt a tray to use as a base. It is important to make sure that your tray is durable and stable to ensure your baby's safety when you change his diaper. You can find trays in different sizes and materials, but wood is usually the best choice for a changing table.
Make sure the tabletop is smooth and free of cracks before painting or covering it with fabric. Once you have chosen the tabletop, you will need to cut it to size and mount it on legs. You can buy pre-made legs, or you can use metal rods to create them.
Finally, you can add additional accessories like a diaper tray, a hygiene product holder, drawers or compartments to store all the products you need. Once you are done building your changing table, make sure to test it to make sure it is stable and suitable for your baby.
At what age can you stop using a baby changing table?
Once your baby reaches 6 months of age, you can start to consider stopping using the changing table. However, this depends entirely on your baby's size and ability to sit and stay seated.
If your baby is still too small or unsteady to sit up on their own, you will need to continue using the changing table for a little longer. Once your baby is big and stable enough to sit up on their own, you can start to consider stopping using the changing table.
You can also upgrade to a larger, more comfortable bath towel for changing. Remember that your baby needs space to spread out toys and other items during diaper changes, and changing may be easier if you use a changing mat. Once your baby is 1 year old and independent enough to sit up on their own, you can stop using a changing table and switch to another way to change your baby.
How to install a wall music box near the changing table?
Installing a wall mounted music box near the changing table is a great way to add a touch of fun and entertainment to your nursery. The wall mounted music box can be installed easily and inexpensively. First, choose a location for your music box, making sure it is at a safe height for your child.
Next, measure the available space and choose a music box that will fit the size of the space. Once you have found the music box that suits you, you can start installing it. You will need to find suitable bolts and screws for attaching your music box to the changing table.
Make sure the bolts and screws are tight to prevent any movement and deformation of the music box. Once you have installed the music box, you are ready to enjoy the music and melodies created by your new toy.
