A 10x11 has two 120" walls and two 132" walls. It's only 10 sq ft more than a 10x10, but the extra foot on the long walls is exactly what lets a crib and a dresser share one wall. Measure your own room wall to wall at floor height, since listing sizes are often rounded and baseboards take an inch or two.
Crib and dresser facing each other across the 10-ft width: 120" − 30" crib − 20" dresser = 70" of floor (we drew 68" after leaving a little space at each wall). Take away 36" for the drawers and about 32" is left to walk through. One long wall: 54" crib + 6" gap + 40" dresser = 100", so they fit on a 132" wall with about 2½ feet to spare.
This is the classic layout and the one most 10x11 nurseries end up with. The 6-drawer dresser holds clothes and doubles as the changing table, and it's a few steps from the crib. The glider sits in the corner across from the door, with its footrest clear of the crib and the drawers.
The door here is near the bottom-right corner and swings into open floor. If your door is on the dresser wall, slide the dresser toward the window end. If it's on the crib wall, swap the crib and the glider.
Putting the crib and dresser on the same 11-ft wall keeps the whole changing-and-sleeping routine in one spot and frees two walls. The glider goes by the window for daytime feeds, and a play mat fits in the open middle without touching the drawer space or the door swing. The trade-off is less storage: put extra clothes in the closet or a cube shelf.
Type in your room's real size, mark the door and window, and drag in the crib, dresser and glider you're considering.

|---|---|
| Door centered on a long wall | The door swing breaks that wall up. Use Plan A across the 10-ft width with the crib and dresser on the two short walls instead. |
| A closet | A reach-in closet can hold a 3-drawer dresser, which frees a whole wall. Keep bifold doors clear (they stick out 12–18"). |
| An 8-drawer dresser | A 63" 8-drawer fits on a 120" or 132" wall. Facing the crib across the 10-ft width it leaves about 32" of walkway after drawer space (most 8-drawers are 18–20" deep), which is fine. |
| Twins | Two full-size cribs fit on opposite 132" walls. See twin nursery layouts. |
| A toddler sharing the room | A crib plus a twin bed fits a 10x11. See baby and toddler sharing a room. |
A 10x11 takes a 6x9 rug, which leaves about 1½–2 feet of floor around it. A 5x8 works if you only want it under the play area. Keep the crib's legs all on the rug or all off it. More in our nursery rug size guide.

Yes. At 110 square feet it fits a full-size crib, a 6-drawer dresser and a glider with about 68" between the crib and the dresser: 36" for the drawers and a 32" walkway.
Yes, on an 11-ft (132") wall. A 54" crib plus a 40" 3-drawer dresser and a small gap take about 100", leaving roughly 2½ feet.
In a corner or next to the window, where the reclined footrest (15–20" more) doesn't block the dresser drawers or the door swing.
A 6x9 rug leaves about 1½–2 feet of floor around it. A 5x8 works if you only want it under the play area.
