Organizing A Child’s Room

With a little thought, planning, and affordable solutions you will easily be able to get it all under control and keep it that way.  Building the room with pieces that are built with organization in mind will also help simplify the process.

Light and Bright – For the Little Princess in Your Life

1. EXPEDIT shelving units outfitted with storage baskets come in many different sizes.  The baskets are sold separately and are designed to fit perfectly inside each cubby. They act as decorative drawers to organize dolls, art supplies, or clothes.  Tie a label on each basket or photo of what goes into each basket. This will help teach your child exactly where things are and where to put them when they are finished playing with them.

2. A bed that will grow with your child. Its classic styling will look as fresh and modern ten years from now as it does today. BIRKELAND bed frame with EMELINA ROS duvet.

3. When you are short on space double-duty furniture is the way to keep things under control. This BRIMNES dresser has 3 built-in drawers underneath that can take the place of a free standing dresser which will give your child more space to play in their room.

4. As kids grow so will the things they collect.  Books, framed photos, sport trophies are only a few.   BILLY bookcases look good in any room and come in white and 3 wood veneer finishes. Installing one or more of these will help you conquer the kids clutter quickly.  When placing pieces in rooms where children will be- use wall brackets to anchor large pieces over 23 5/8″ for safety.

5. Most kids use their beds as a surface to play on. It is their very own space, especially if they have to share a room. Covering a soft and comfy comforter with an affordable SMORGALL duvet in blue or green will surely please small personalities.

6. Buying furniture that will grow with your child not only simplifies things, but will save you money in the long run. HOPPEN 4 drawer chest with transparent drawers can be made fun by adding labels behind each drawer with what the contents are in each drawer- T-shirts, shorts, socks, etc.  You can make the labels on white paper and print out with a fun font on your computer or even use a different color paper behind each drawer to make the piece more child friendly.  When the child gets older the classic modern styling will seem hip and the labels will be nothing more than a pleasant memory of their childhood.

7. A bed that has storage underneath as well as behind will help organize clothes and books. The best part is that this storage won’t take up any more floor space. Now that is smart!  OPPDAL queen bed.
