Starting to become stressed out about the lack of organization in your little one's bedroom or play area? Don't worry, we've got you. And if you especially want a child-friendly place that looks like the ones you've seen on Instagram, we have the kid's room organization tips that will help.
We're all in it together when it comes to keeping our children's bedrooms tidy, and it's important that you consider extra storage and toy organization as well as how best to plan the spot. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to have a separate playroom. That doesn't mean your storage solutions have to be boring, though. In fact, far from it. Here's everything you need to know.
Utilize built-ins.
If you want to make the storage in your kid's room seamlessly blend into the home décor, a built-in unit or caddy will do just the trick. Save space with sliding barn doors and add a shelving element to store books, toys, and anything else your little one might want access to.
Organize the closets.
While an organized closet might seem like half a world away in your kid's bedroom, we promise that it is possible! Think about shelving, baskets for extra storage, and dividers for the interior (especially if it's a small spot), and check out these closet design ideas for further inspiration.
Don't forget about beneath the bed.
Is your little one's play area short on square footage and storage space? Utilizing the space under the bed is a great way to keep things clutter free and a little more interesting for your child, too! Note the slide and hideout on this slightly raised bed with integrated storage, for example. Super cool, right?
Find durable freestanding furniture with extra storage.
Integrating freestanding furniture is still one of the best ways to help with storage and organization in a kid's room, especially if you're not in a permanent space. Think nightstands, dressers, desks, and consoles. These dreamy kids' furniture sets are a great place to start.
Let shelving be part of the design.
We know kids love books, toys, stuffed animals, and games, and we also know that little ones like to leave those things lying around. Using shelves to organize your child's room or play area will encourage them to clean up while also fostering a lifelong love of reading. Create your own bookshelves with this easy cane DIY. It's ideal for beginners and will elevate a basic IKEA shelf into a super chic, boho bookcase.
