Answer

I check out idea on Pinterest for small space nurserys.  I have one friend she took the doors off her small closet and put the crib there I remeber it stuck out a little but was good and worked for her because it didn't take up much of her limited space up... This is kinda what she did:

My husband and I lived in a studio with our first born. Staying organized was the main priority or else it got so cluttered. We purchased a mini portable crib that could easily fold in half when not in use (Google delta portable crib. It made just like a regular just smaller in size obviously and foldable. I used the foldable fabric cubbies to store outfits, receiving blankets, diapers and wipes under the crib. In the shelves above the closet I put plastic storage bins and used those to store special outfits and baby shoes as those are not worn everyday. Our closet was pretty big and we were able to put one of our dressers in there. On top of that we had babies bathing supplies in a shower caddie. I also stored our hamper in there as well. We always bought age appropriate toys only when needed so we didn't have to store so much and then I would give them away or resale asap. I researched as much as possible during my pregnancy so I could figure out how to use our space and bought a little at a time when I found the right things that suited us. 😃
