Small as they are, children need a lot of stuff

Infant nurseries need space for clothes, toys, blankets, and diapers and changing supplies. As your child reaches toddler age they’ll acquire more of everything: more toys, more books, bigger clothes, as well as videos, games, and puzzles. Toy collections grow as your child ages and by the time they’ve reached school age they’ve added countless supplies for hobbies and school to their long list of possessions. In short, you have a lot to store and finding ways to do it efficiently and conveniently is key.

 

Frequently used kids room storage items

Things that your child uses on a daily basis should be stored out in the open where they can be retrieved and put away easily. Shelves, hooks, desk and dresser tops, and colored storage bins are great for keeping frequently used items close at hand.

 

Remember that bookshelves don’t have to be only for books. Games, puzzles, dolls, stuffed animals, and toy cars can all be stored and displayed on shelves. For smaller items, colored plastic bins or square wicker baskets make great containers and give shelves an interesting look.

 

A high shelf on one wall or all the way around the room makes the perfect place to display sports trophies, school art projects, or other collections. Store seasonal clothes inside color coordinated bins or baskets on these high shelves.

 

Utilize the closet

Essentially a big box, the closet is convenient and useful for many types of storage. Be sure that everything your child uses often is stored where they can reach it. You can add shelves, drawers, and cubbyholes to increase functionality of children’s closets.

 

If closets aren’t big enough to be useful, you can add storage space to children’s rooms with furniture. Armoires provide hanging space as well as shelves and drawers for smaller items and the classic toy chest offers storage for toys of all shapes and sizes.

 

Out of sight

Slim boxes are handy for keeping seasonal clothes or sports equipment such as ice skates or swimming gear close at hand but out of the way under the bed. Toys that have been outgrown or baby clothes you can’t bear to part with should be stored in a basement, attic, or garage. Be sure to use containers that seal tightly to protect the contents from dust, moths, and moisture.

 

By providing plenty of usable storage for your child’s books, toys, and clothes, you will help to keep their room neat and organized.
