#2 Decorate the room with multi-purpose products that do Double Duty
Add decoration to your child’s room with cork boards, multi-pocket organizers, and more. A cork board can display pictures, homework reminders, artwork, and notes from friends that will eliminate clutter that can easily pile up on desks, bureaus and night stands; at the same time multi-purpose organizers keep your child organized for school.
Hang multi-pocket organizers on the inside of closet doors to hold hair accessories, cold weather gear, sunglasses, hats, shoes, jewelry, pens and pencils, or small toys. Look for seating that doubles as storage such as removable cushion-topped ottomans with space where you can stash small toys.
I also love these Mini metal clips adorn a clear rubber cable for holding all your favorite photo memories on display! Perfect for dorms, desks, cork boards + so much more.
#3 Buy storage containers, bags, or a toy chest
Teach your children to put away their own toys to help clean up their rooms. You can purchase storage containers and label each container for puzzles, blocks, cars, dolls, etc.
A toy chest in your child’s bedroom is also a good place to keep larger toys, games and stuffed animals off the bedroom floor.
#4 Clean out any old toys and clothes
The best way to save space in your child’s bedroom is to make space by getting rid of any old toys, books, supplies, and clothes that are no longer used. Get your child to help you put things into piles sorted by what they want to keep, what they would like to give away, and what to just get rid of. Take a trip to your local Goodwill or Salvation Army and donate your gently used toys or clothing your kids have outgrown.
#5 Create a designated creativity space
If your child is into arts and crafts, add an activity table with drawers for paper and supplies to keep everything contained to the table.
Kids who love playing with blocks or dress up clothes can have a small space with a bin for blocks, cars, puzzles, etc. or a bin with dress up clothes in a small corner of the room. For school-aged children having a desk in the room can be essential for getting homework and studying done; a desk is also great for extra storage areas.
#6 Make the most of small spaces
Small bedrooms and closets can hold portable shelving units, fabric bins, drawer dividers, and hooks for more usable space. Fabric bins on closet shelves keep everything organized neatly as well as drawer dividers when drawer space is tight. Hooks make a great hanging space for jackets, hats, jewelry, and backpacks. Use shelving units to keep toys and books off the floor for more floor space.
Having several storage options in your child’s room will encourage them to keep it tidy and clean and they will look forward to playing and studying in their own space. Even a small bedroom can be kept organized when you use a little creativity and give your child a regularly scheduled clean up time.
Getting rid of old stuff and getting organized is always helpful. We love candles and seem to use them more starting this time of year. All three of these would be wonderful to have and use.
Every year we used to go through and get rid of my son’s “old stuff” before buying anything new. now that he’s older, there isn’t much to reorganize. He’s pretty set in this routine now that he’s a teenager.
We’ve been going through this with my daughter, who is a tween. We’re slowly moving out the toys and bringing in more “older kid” stuff.
These are all wonderful tips. I’m a huge candle fan. I need every scent of those candles! I try my best to declutter the kiddos room every time the seasons change.
Such great ideas. I love scented candles, they truly set the mood. I haven’t had to declutter a child’s room in over 18 years!
I think these tips also apply to other rooms in the house. I love the items that you picked and how affordable they are! I’m sure your daughter loves her bedroom! So organized and cute!
I love those mini metal clips for displaying photos! I think I could even use that in MY room. Too sweet!
Change is always good and gives a refreshing new look. This is required for a child’s bedroom to brighten up things with a new look from time ti time. These are some really wonderful ideas.
Reading this makes me reminded of redecorating my own room as well. Definitely this is a great motivation and I might incorporate the ideas too.
Bedroom decorating is a really fun thing to do. It really displays chapters of the kids’ life!
