No parent wants to walk into their kids’ room, it is normally disaster looking. If your child has a small bedroom the mess just looks ten times worse. Well, here I am to help give you ideas on how best to organize it. To keep those small rooms looking neat and tidy.
Keep the layout of the room simple, don’t overcrowd the room otherwise it’ll feel smaller than it already is. Buy furniture you have room for, that fits the space you need. If you are moving your child from a crib to a bed and debating between a regular size bed or a toddler bed? Check the space you have in the room, if you don’t have room for a regular size bed then don’t buy it!
Choose colors wisely, you could get your child to help pick the
You have a small room but need to fit two kids in there? Try a room divider, giving each child their own space. Decorate the room divider, either with artwork your kids bring home from nursery or school. Hang hooks on it and hang jewelry on it, shoe pockets for their shoes. Have a whiteboard so they can draw, make it into an activity board. Use the closet as a room divider or a bookcase, giving each child the space they need.
Closets:
- Use a sliding door closet, it’ll save you having to worry about having the space to be able to open the door.
- Don’t need all the space in the closet, use the extra space to store toys.
- Use a dresser instead of a closet.
Beds:
- Are your kids old enough to sleep on a bunk bed? If you need to put your kids together in a room, a bunk bed will help save on space.
- Another option is a gallery bed, a bed that is higher up, like a bunk bed but underneath instead of a bed you can have a desk? Couch? Toy storage? Even a closet? Playing area? Make it into a library.
- Store things under the bed in flat boxes, you can also add a crib skirt so you can hide those boxes you have stashed away.
- Use the headboard as storage or make a headboard out of shelves.
- Buy a bed that comes with a bed underneath, that has wheels on it, so you can pull it in and out as necessary.
Toy Storage:
- For those of us that keep toys in our
kids room, to try and keep the living room tidy use a hammock! To keep soft toys in or all those dolls your girls have. - Have thin shelves for books
- Hang baskets on the wall to store toys, books, blocks,
- Hang shoe pockets on the back of the door for their barbies dolls.
- Use a storage bench for books or other toys, you could also add a cushion to it and turn it into a seat.
- A treasure chest or a trunk in order to store those big bulky toys.
- Use wicker baskets, label the baskets if it’ll help keep things organized.
- Add shelves around the room for keeping baskets on and storage
