If you're expecting a baby or know someone who is, you've probably realised that preparing a nursery is no small task. It's a lot of practical planning. Good news is, there’s help. At The Baby Cot Shop, we help you turn your nursery dreams into reality. When it comes to creating the perfect nursery and children’s room, nothing quite compares to our exquisite offerings. Here are a few things you may not have known that you should know about The Baby Cot Shop.
Do You Know That You Can Customise Rugs and Furniture at The Baby Cot Shop?
When you picture your ideal nursery, you probably have a specific vision in mind. Maybe it's a particular shade of blue for the rug or a chest of drawers that fits just so in that tricky alcove. At The Baby Cot Shop, we don't completely do one-size-fits-all solutions. That's why we offer extensive customisation options for both our rugs and furniture.
You see, finding the perfect rug can tie a whole room together. Whether you're after a specific size to fit your nursery's dimensions, a unique colour to match your decor, or a custom pattern that reflects your personal style, we've got you covered. Our team works closely with skilled craftspeople to bring your ideas to life. Want a rug with your baby's name woven into the design? We can do that. Fancy a plush, cloud-shaped rug in the exact shade of your nursery walls? No problem.
As for furniture, our customisation options are equally extensive. Perhaps you need a changing table that's a bit taller to accommodate dad's height, or a cot that's slightly narrower to fit a cosy nursery. Maybe you've fallen in love with one of our dressers but wish it had an extra drawer. Whatever your requirements, we can make that happen just for you. Our furniture makers are true artisans who take pride in creating pieces that are not just functional, but perfectly tailored to your needs.
This level of customisation means that when you shop with us, you're not just buying furniture, but bringing your preferences to life.
Do You Know That Certain Furniture Pieces are Made Uniquely for You?
For certain furniture pieces, when you place an order with us, we're not simply picking a product off the shelf. Instead, we're setting in motion a carefully tailored process of craftsmanship. Each piece of furniture you order is made specifically for you. This means that when you choose the beautiful Balmoral Cot or the elegant Cadogan Dresser, our skilled artisans get to work, crafting your furniture from scratch.
This bespoke approach does mean our lead times are longer than you might find elsewhere. But we believe — and our customers agree — that the wait is more than worth it. While you're anticipating your baby's arrival, our craftspeople are pouring their expertise and care into creating furniture that will be part of your family's story for years to come. The made-to-order approach also allows us to maintain exceptionally high standards of quality control. Each piece is inspected at various stages of production, ensuring that when your furniture arrives, it meets our standards — and yours too.
Do You Know We Only Use Hardwood for Our Furniture?
In a market flooded with softwood furniture and MDF, we stand out by using only the finest hardwoods in our pieces, allowing us create furniture that's built to last.
Hardwoods like beech are significantly more durable than softwoods or engineered woods. They're less prone to warping, splitting, or showing wear and tear. This means that the cot you buy for your newborn could well become a family heirloom, passed down through generations. But the benefits of hardwood go beyond durability. These woods have a natural beauty that shines through in every piece. The grain patterns, the subtle variations in colour, the way the wood ages and develops a rich patina over time – all of these qualities make hardwood furniture special. Using hardwood also allows for more intricate designs and detailed craftsmanship. Our furniture makers can create delicate carvings, smooth curves, and precise joints that simply aren't possible with lower-quality materials. And don’t forget about safety. Hardwoods are naturally more resistant to bacteria and are less likely to off-gas harmful chemicals. When you're creating a safe haven for your little one, these factors matter.
At The Baby Cot Shop, we exclusively use hardwood for our furniture. This means your nursery pieces are not only beautiful but also incredibly durable and designed to withstand the test of time. Considering the longevity, beauty, and peace of mind that come with a hardwood piece, surely you'll agree it's a worthwhile investment.
Do You Know About Our Exclusive Nursery Products You Won't Find Anywhere Else?
If you've ever felt frustrated by the limited options in most baby stores, you're not alone. That's why we've developed our own brand of baby furniture collections, available exclusively through our website and shop. This exclusive furniture range is a labour of love, born from years of listening to parents and understanding what they really want in nursery furniture.
Our collections combine timeless elegance with practical functionality. We've thought about the little details that make a big difference, like drawers that glide silently shut, perfect for not disturbing a sleeping baby; or changing tables with cleverly designed storage solutions that keep everything you need within arm's reach.
Our designs are created to grow with your child. Many of our cots convert into toddler beds, and our dressers are styled to look just as at home in a teenager's room as they do in a nursery. By choosing pieces from our exclusive range, you're guaranteeing that your nursery will be truly one-of-a-kind. Browse our exclusive furniture collections here.

Do You Know We Offer a Full Nursery Interior Design Service?
While a number of our customers enjoy putting together their nursery themselves, others prefer a bit more guidance. That's where our interior design service comes in. The Baby Cot Shop’s interior design service transforms your ideas and preferences into a cohesive, beautiful, and practical nursery design.
The Full Interior Design service is ideal if you want us to oversee the entire project and is a great option if you want a professional touch, or just don't have the time to dedicate to preparing the nursery. The Virtual Interior Design service is a second option, and is ideal if you are hands-on and have enough time to devote to the project. Consultation is remote and communication is by email and telephone.
The result? A nursery that's beautiful, functional, and uniquely yours, created with the expertise of professional designers but reflecting your personal style and needs. Too good to pass up. Get started here.
