i set mine up the "pretty" way then changed it a few months after DS was born. I like having my drawers next to my change table, just in case I get indecisive about what clothes to put him in...or he spits up on them. I didn't find I needed the drawers near the cot. Plus I find it easier to put the things I need on top of the dresser - and DS ended up with eczema, so now the top drawer holds a little pharmacy of moisturisers & ointments... nicer than having them out everywhere.
I have a glider chair with i LOVE, but it's out in the lounge room - for early feeds I loved being able to have the TV on low. We did have a comfy chair in his room but it was too creaky - we now have a dining chair which is easier to just pop down on for a second if we need. (Our room is not that big, so a glider really didn't fit well in there).
GL, it's heaps of fun arranging the room. Do an imaginary "get up & change baby" to see where you walk and what you need at arm's reach - that helped me, plus it was fun
