If your kids have more tiny toys other than Legos, you can categorise and assign a tub for each kind. Use labels on clear tubs so it’s easier to see what’s in each tub at a glance.

Another colour coding system is to put coloured name labels on your kids’ toy storage. Pullout drawers and tubs with colour labels make it much more organised and easier to put away. 

 3. Toy Cars, Trucks, and Trains: Display Them!

Build a toy car garage to showcase and organise their collection. Have one slot for every car, train, or truck. Tell your kids to park their toys when they’re done playing. They’ll be happy to put them back where they belong because you’ll have made packing away fun.

Incorporate kids’ toy cars, trucks, and trains in their room by displaying their collections on shelves. Make it fun and creative by repurposing an old tire into a toy car storage.

4. Mixed Toys: Store in Bags, Baskets, and Crates!

Bags

When you’re short on shelves and drawers, make use of the door to hang some bags to use as kids’ toy storage. Beach bags or tote bags are perfect storage containers for kids’ toys! 

How about these drawstring storage bags for toys? Stuff the toys in and hang them on the wall. The peekaboo detail on each bag makes it easy for Mums and kids to grab the bag they want. Genius!

Baskets

How’s this for a kids’ toy organiser?! Keep the kids’ toy clutter tucked away in each basket. No mess in sight! It’s magic! Add a label to each basket to know what each one holds. 

Alternate your basket & tub colours and styles to help you identify what’s inside of them more easily.

Keep your toy organisation properly labelled to make it easier for your kids to know where to put what. We recommend chalkboard labels as a reusable option. Just write, wipe & write again. They’re a clever little investment. 

Crates

Make use of wooden crates with double function or purpose. This wooden crate-turned chair with wheels has toys inside. Not only do these look great in their rooms but they’re also a clever toy storage idea that hides away mess in an instant!

Hide Away: 3 Tips on How To Organise Kids’ Bedrooms With Cute and Clever Kids’ Storage Ideas

Searching for ways How To Organise Kids’ bedrooms? With loads of little things here and there, it can be overwhelming for a busy Mum. We feel you!

Here are 3 tips on how Mums organise kids’ bedrooms to create a fun and clutter-free spaces. With these cute and clever DIY kids’ bedroom storage ideas, you’ll be able to teach them how to clean up after themselves too!

1. Categorise

If you can, separate their room into specific spaces or corners that define their purpose. A sleeping space, reading nook, play area, closet, or wardrobe. Even if it’s a small room, having assigned space for each activity helps kids to know where their things are supposed to be. The best way to make this work is by having the perfect storage space for everything! From crates, tubs, and baskets, take some inspiration from some of these DIY kids storage ideas to get their bedroom neat and tidy:

Stacked Wooden Crates 

Stack wooden crates up & use them as bookshelves like this one. Make sure they are stacked permanently together for safety using screws & then securely attaching them to the wall. Paint them in bright and happy colours to have a vibrant reading nook. Throw in some cushions so they can sit and read their favourite books.

Hanging Wardrobe Storage

Another way to use crates is to hang them up in their wardrobe. Perfect for small rooms that don’t have room for extra shelves that eat up the floor space. Hanging storage is the perfect solution to this! You can have each crate assigned to different things like toys, clothes and even small items for babies like nappies, and even toiletries!

Floating Crate Shelves

Having floating shelves is a smart way of keeping things organised. It’s also a great space saver! Paint and decorate wooden crates to coordinate them with the rest of your kids’ bedroom. Display their favourite toys, artworks, and other knick-knacks. These look good above their study desks too and won’t take up space when they do their homework.

2. Colour Code

It’s easier to identify your containers like tubs and baskets through a colour coding system. This works well too when you’ve got a bunch of kids. You can assign them their own colour for their storage so they know which one is theirs. Below are some DIY Kids storage ideas using colour code organising:

Colour Stripe Storage Tubs

Got a lot of tubs and baskets already? Give them a purposeful makeover by painting them in colourful stripes that assign each one according to what items they hold. 

Coloured Fabric Covered Storage Baskets

You can also use coloured and printed fabrics to decorate your storage tubs, boxes and baskets so it looks more fun and playful!

3. Label 

Aside from having a specific corner or colour, labelling your kids’ storage crates, tubs and shelves will help your kids to know what each crate contains. It’s also great to have nice labels to match the aesthetic of their rooms. Here are some storage containers with labels that keep things organised and still look pleasing to the eye:

Wooden Storage Crates with Wheels

Kids love their toys and they go everywhere with them. So why not put wheels on their crates so they can also easily put them back wherever they are in the house. Add chalkboard labels so they know what’s inside of each one. They’re perfect because they’re erasable and reusable!

Labelled Recycled Boxes

No need to buy new crates and tubs for extra storage. Make use of shoe boxes or cardboard boxes at home and turn them into cute storage by covering them in nice wrapping paper; then you can add your personalised labels. It’s a fun DIY project that you can do with your little ones too. 

These are just a few clever ideas for helping to keep things organised in your kids’ bedroom. Don’t forget to share your own storage hack ideas with us too by tagging us on Instagram & Facebook… We might just feature your idea in our next blog article.
