15 Children’s Storage Ideas For A Tidy Bedroom

Having children is one of the greatest joys in life – but the mess that comes with them isn’t. Contrary to popular belief, it’s possible to have children and a clutter-free home. All you need is a few clever kids’ storage ideas that make it easy to pack away in a flash. From cupboards and beds to boxes and bags, it’s time to get inspired with these smart yet stylish children’s storage ideas.

How to store children’s toys by size

‘Play, creativity and learning is incredibly important for children. But we also know that tidying and organisation also brings many benefits in terms of growth, development and ownership,’ says John Parker, IKEA’s Children’s Business Leader. The key to keeping children’s bedrooms (and your mind) tidy is in the types of storage you choose and organising them effectively.

Try storing your children’s toys by size, packing smaller toys away in smart storage boxes that are labelled by type. For larger toys, think carefully about where you can place them in the room to slot them into the existing decor. Choose toys that are not only fun for your kids but can also be tucked away into corners of the room.

Utilise mounted children’s storage options

Tidying up after your children can feel like a chore: you clean up every evening for piles of toys to magically appear the next morning. However, if you consider mounted options, such as a whiteboard on the wall, you won’t have to worry about packing away at the end of the day. Of course, the toys you choose will depend on the age of your child, and you’ll want to make sure you’re encouraging your children to play. Options such as wall-mounted activity areas and fixed, vertical units will save you the hassle of moving everything around.

Consider multi-use kids’ storage ideas

One of the easiest ways to keep a child’s bedroom looking clean and tidy is by utilising furniture in the home that doubles up as storage. Not only do storage benches, cubes and ottomans make stylish seats, but they also double up as a handy storage space that you can use to pack away any unsightly toys. Style a storage bench with patterned cushions and a contemporary faux potted planter for a dreamy playroom aesthetic.
