Children's Toy Box
Storage may be an issue in your child's room. Children's rooms are typically smaller than a master bedroom but have to serve as a playroom, place to sleep, study area and a room to hang out in with friends. Use kids' storage solutions to organize your child's room and make a small space functional. Does this Spark an idea?
Closets
Put up multiple rods for more hanging space in you child's closet. Since children's clothes are smaller, you can use several horizontal rods--and your kid will be able to reach his clothes easier. Place your child's dresser in the closet to free up more floor space. Build a desk into the closet if you are really short on storage.
Display Areas
Your kid's toys can either look like clutter or serve as decorative accessories in the room. Store the toys in plain sight to showcase your child's favorite possessions. House stuffed animals in a small hammock that hangs in the corner of the room. Use floating shelves to display trophies or a framed report card. Mount wood cubes on the wall and put your kid's toys on top to create fun artwork. Just make sure your child can reach his favorite toys. There also are curtains available that have pockets in them where kids can put their favorite toys. Add a hutch to a desk for added decorative shelf space. Wraparound bookshelves make use of the room's corners.
Traditional Kids Storage
The traditional kid's storage unit is a toy box. Place the box at the end of the bed so your child can sit on it to put on her shoes. A twist on the toy box is a window seat with a lid. Make sure the toy boxes and window seats have safety hinges to prevent smashed fingers. A window seat also serves as an area to read in addition to hiding clutter.
Compartments
Your child may have bits of odds and ends that clutter up the room or floor. Look for bins that can be stacked on shelves or under the bed. Jars or boxes that your child decorates at school can serve as holders for office supplies or small toys. Label each bin with the contents so your child knows exactly where to find things and put them away. If your child is too young to read, take a picture of the contents and tape it to the outside of the bin.
Decorative Storage
Storage in your child's room doesn't have to be boring. Wood cutouts can house cubbies and shelves while conveying the theme of the room. Cutouts can include a castle turret or the backdrop of a miniature town.
