Playtime gets messy. But even playtime starts and ends with a clean room.<\/p>\n

As adults, it’s our job to help our little ones gets organized. We can do this by designating kid-friendly storage solutions and making the most of everyday\u00a0furniture,\u00a0such as beds and closets.<\/p>\n

Here, our top five tips on how to organize your child’s room:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

1. Make the most of the closet.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Think beyond clothing and shoes. The closet is a practical storage space for toys, books, and board games — as long as they’re within reach for your child.<\/p>\n

Smaller items can be stored in lightweight, decorative baskets, such as canvas baskets, making it easy for kids to lift and move them around.<\/p>\n

If the closet doesn’t come equipped with shelves and storage areas, buy a new one. Purchase an entire closet system for a quick and easy way to organize your kid’s rooms.<\/p>\n

While organizing the closet, don’t forget to decorate. Even the closet can benefit from new paint or bright and cheery curtains instead of doors.<\/p>\n

2. Embrace a trundle bed.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Using a trundle bed in your child’s room is a brilliant\u00a0choice for several reasons.\u00a0 It can provide the room with not only extra sleeping arrangements, but also more storage space.<\/p>\n

The extra bed is great for siblings or guests, while the additional drawers can be used to store craft supplies, such as crayons, markers, paper, and smaller toys. Add a stylish swing-arm wall light<\/a> on either side of the bed for lighting. These are easy to install and stay out of the way when roughhousing starts.<\/p>\n

3. Go with classic shelves.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If buying a new bed or the DIY challenge of installing a closet is not on your list, why not update the room with storage bookcases or\u00a0shelves<\/a>? They add personality to the room and help keep it clutter-free.<\/p>\n

4. Purchase a wall system.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If the closet is full and you’re in need of more space, the solution may be a wall system.\u00a0 Pick one that suits the storage space you need and fits the size of the room.<\/p>\n

Consider the long-term and go with a white wall system. The nice thing about using a simple white application is that it can grow with your child into middle school and high school.<\/p>\n

And when they actually fly out of the nest, you can repurpose it for yourself in the form of a home office or craft space. Wall mounting lights<\/a> are a great accent for these types of systems. The lights stay on the wall and off the floor or table surface, where they are more likely to be knocked over.<\/p>\n

5. Invest in portable storage.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Whether it’s a toy chest or clutter bin, portable storage is a classic way to organize a kid’s room.\u00a0 When you’re done using them for your child, you can keep them anywhere around the house, from the bedroom to the basement.<\/p>\n

A clutter-free room gives children the space to use their imaginations — until it’s time to clean up again.<\/p>\n
