Kids Storage Ideas

Kids seem to have so much stuff these days that you may find that their toys, clothes and other items start to take over the whole house! It is traditional that in families children will have the smaller rooms whilst adults enjoy the master bedroom. The younger child will have the smallest room and so on. However, many parents are finding themselves moved out of the master bedroom and into smaller rooms simply because their children have too much stuff to fit into the small bedroom.

No one wants their house to look cluttered, but at the same time parents should have the run of the house, so it is worth starting to think about new types of kids storage to keep your child’s possessions safe but tucked away. One of the best ways to store things easily and without taking up too much room is to first buy a high sleeper bed. A bed will usually be the biggest thing in a bedroom and will take up plenty of space. Of course, you could always keep items under the bed in drawers, but imagine how much more you could store away if the bed was higher up, even just under the ceiling! High sleeper beds are completely safe, as they have rails alongside to prevent your child rolling out, and safe and sturdy ladders that your child will easily get up and down from. As an additional perk, kids just love sleeping high off the ground as it creates something of a secret little den for them.

Under the bed you can then store a wardrobe or cupboards, or if you are feeling really inventive, move the desk and chair under the bed and fill the rest of the space with shelves or cubbies, in which children can store books, games and DVDs easily. This means they’ll be able to access what they want when they want it, and can also look a little more stylish and interesting than a basic wardrobe.

If you are trying to fit more than one child into a bedroom and find space for their possessions, a great idea can be to split the room in half, allowing each child to have their own half, and to use wardrobes or cupboards to do so. If you could find or build a double sided cupboard or bookshelf which would stretch most of the length of the room, each child could then keep their possessions in the side which faces their half of the room, and will also be able to spread their stuff around their own ‘room’ as separated off from the other half. Doing this will prevent not only arguments over space, but also stp children losing their stuff in a jumble across the room and being in each other’s way as well.
