How To Organize Your Playroom
As any parent knows, playrooms can go from orderly to chaotic in an instant. And actually having space to play can be a challenge. Fortunately, knowing how to organize a playroom, and having the right storage systems in place can make it a lot easier for anyone (even kids) to get toys out AND put everything back.
How-To Guide
Getting Started
Your playroom itself will dictate the best storage system. Does your room have a closet? Ample wall space for shelves? Or do you need freestanding cubbies and bookshelves?
Keep Toys Easy To Access AND Put Away
Use toy containers that your kids can easily access and use. Open bins eliminate the struggle with lids and are great for blocks, toy cars, small gadgets and stuffed animals. Be sure to place bins full of favorites on easy-to-reach shelves.
Use Kid-Friendly Labels
Labeling containers helps make it easy to find and put toys away. If your kids are younger, consider using picture labels.
Make Use Of Your Doors
Over the door shoe organizers are a great way to store everything from dolls to small stuffed animals and handheld games.
Add Drawers
An Elfa drawer unit or stackable drawers make use of vertical storage space while giving your kids easy access to what's inside. These toy drawers are also great for sorting and separating LEGO blocks by size and color. Plus, these types of storage containers can easily be used to store clothes and accessories when your kids outgrow the playroom.
Don't Forget Display Space
From the latest drawings to treasured LEGO creations, don't forget to give your kids a way to show off what they've accomplished. Photo display strings with clips are an easy way to decorate and display artwork, while display cubes and shelves are great for highlighting treasured possessions.
