Organising and storage tips for your kid's room November 16 2016
It is amazing how many toys and baby paraphernalia you can accumulate over such a short time. Every year it seems to get more and soon your house looks like it has been decorated by your 2 year old.
Here are a few tips to keep things organised:
- Have a wicker basket in every room so that at the end of the day it is easy to quickly tidy up all the toys. Once a week you can sort out each basket and return the toys to their correct place.
- Usually the room that you are going to convert into a nursery has a long hanging cupboard which is not that useful for your baby clothes. A closet organiser is worth getting to put baby clothes in.
- Divide up your drawers into smaller sections by using shoe, office boxes or Tupperware .
- Besides storing books, a bookshelf is a very handy storage device to have and easy to find things quickly.
- Boys and cars usually go together, which means you will probably be standing on them once in a while (quite painful by the way). Use magnetic strips to keep the cars in one place where they can still be seen.
- Hooking a shoe organizer behind your door is a great way to store all your smaller items and you don’t see it unless the door is closed.
- I wish I had this growing up. I loved playing with Lego but hated cleaning up. Here you can play on the bag and quickly just pull it together.
- If you have old crates or wooden boxes lying around, paint them a fun colour and use them as storage for toys and books.
