Decorating Tips For a Small Kid's Room

Does your kid's room look and feel cramped with very limited space? Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky enough to have a large and spacious room. Even those with some of the larger rooms don't utilize the space appropriately, and as a result, it becomes a cluttered mess that limits its overall function. The bottom line is that you have to choose your furniture and furnishings wisely to keep it attractive and fully functional. Let's take a closer look at some decorating tips for a small kid's room.

What Bed Should I Choose?

One of the biggest decorating mistakes in a small kid's room is using beds that are too large and bulky. If you have 2 or more kids sharing a room, then a bun kbed will likely work best in the room's limited space. Switching from 2 standard beds to a single bunk bed alone can save you a great deal of room, which is exactly what you should be striving for. If your kid has a room all to their self, you should choose a bed no bigger than a twin size and make sure it has a small, basic frame that's not going to protrude out.

Shelving Units

No matter how young or old your kid is, chances are they will have more than enough toys to play with in their room. While there's nothing wrong with allowing them to have a lot of toys, you should take the time install shelving units on the walls for them to store their toys on. Once they get into the habit of tossing toys on the floor, it will become more difficult to keep their room picked up. You can find some simple wooden shelves that screw directly into the wall at most Wal-Mart stores. Just follow the instructions and you should have some nice storage shelves installed on the walls of your kid's room in just minutes.

Decorative Ideas

There are several different types of decorations that can actually make your kid's room appear larger than what it is. A mirror, for instance, will naturally create an optical illusion that the surrounding space is larger; therefore, it's a good item to add to a small kid's room. You don't have to hang some $100+ elegant mirror on the wall, but instead stick with a basic one that can hang on their closet door. You should try to lower it enough so that your kid can use it when they are getting ready for school in the morning,

Tips on Rearranging Kids' Room Furniture

Are you planning to redecorate or rearrange the furniture in your child's room in the near future? It's a great way to bring new life and vibrancy to the atmosphere without spending a ton of money. In fact, most forms of redecorating cost absolutely nothing, which is great for families on a budget. Before you dive into this project, though, you should read some of the following tips and precautions to consider.

How Will It Affect The Room's Function?

The first thing you'll want to consider is how rearranging the furniture is going to affect the room's overall function. You may not realize it at first, but even small changes like moving a desk from one side of the room to another will have a dramatic impact on how the room will be used. When your child walks into their room, they may have to take extra steps to reach the desk if it's further away from the door. Ideally, you want everything with a functional purpose to be easily accessible.

Try to imagine your son or daughter using the room after the furniture is rearranged. If they're forced to walk around obstacles to reach their bed or to get clothes out of their dresser, then you probably want to choose a different arrangement. Remember, your goal is to create a fully functional room that's both attractive and easy for them to use.

Furniture Moving Tips

If your kid's room contains authentic hardwood furniture, it might be too heavy for you to handle by yourself. Instead of risking injury to yourself or damage to the furniture, see if you can get another family member to help you move the furniture. Having an extra set of hands to move furniture with makes a world of difference.

Another helpful tool for moving furniture around sliders. As the name suggests, these things allow you to slide furniture around the room without picking it up. You can find them for sale at most home improvement stores for as little as $15 buck a pack, which is a small price to pay for the convenience of sliding your furniture. However, you need to be aware that they tend to only work on hardwood or laminate flooring and not carpet. If your kid's room has carpet flooring, you'll probably have to pick it up to move it.

Rearranging the furniture in a kid's room is a quick and easy way to give it a fresh new vibe. Just remember to follow the tips listed here to ensure it comes out a success.

Innovative Ways To Paint a Boy's Room

Painting the walls is arguably the single most important step in decorating a kid's room. When it's done right, it will set the tone for the surrounding atmosphere and provide a palette for the rest of the decor to follow. On the other hand, the wrong type of paint will offer nothing in terms of style or aesthetics, and it may even take away from the natural beauty of the room. If you're still scratching your head trying to come up with ways to paint a young boy's room, keep reading and we'll give you some innovative ideas.

Consider Their Age

Before you pick up the paintbrush and start making strokes on the wall, you should consider how old they are. It should go without saying that young boys tend to favor wall decorations that are a bit more childish and playful. If they are between the ages of 3-7, then you can probably get by with the more childish decorations. In fact, doing so will usually create a suitable atmosphere that's perfect for their age. Think about what they are interested in and try to paint their room around something they enjoy. For instance, if they love large scaly dinosaurs, perhaps you can try to paint one on their wall. Contrary to what some people may believe, you don't have to be a Michelangelo to paint a simple-looking dinosaur on the wall.

If they are too old for a dinosaur or some other childish wall painting, then you can stick with a basic color pallete in their room. Take into account what type of furniture and furnishings they have and then choose a color pallete accordingly. When in doubt, go with a neautral color, as they are easy to match with other items. You can even take it one step further by painting 3 of the walls one color and the other wall a slightly different color. This is known as using an accent wall, and it works wonders to add a stylish touch to a room or area of the house.

Stencils

There are a couple secrets to painting cool designs on walls, one of which is to use a stencil. These are large cut-outs that you can place up against the wall and paint directly over them. Once you're done, remove the stencil and you'll be left with a professional-looking painting. There's simply no easier way to create high-quality wall designs in a short period of time.

Things To Consider When Buying New Kids' Room Furniture

Whether you're setting up a kid's room for the first time or just redecorating it, you need to choose the right type of furniture. The problem is that many people have no clue what to look when purchasing furniture for a kid's room. There are beds ranging from childish plastic frames to more elegant wooden ones, so which one are you supposed to choose? Here we'll take a closer look at some of the most important things you should consider when shopping for kids' room furniture.

Size and Design

One of the most important things you'll need to be aware of is the size and design of the furniture. Because it's going to be used in your kid's room, you'll need to make sure the furniture is built to a suitable size so they can reach it. Nightstands or chest of drawers for typical "adult" bedrooms may be too large for them to use properly. Ask yourself whether or not your child will have a problem using the furniture, and if they will, then you should keep looking.

If you're looking for a new bed for your kid's room, you should consider using a bunkbed. No matter how young or old they are, all kids love bunkbeds for the simple fact that they can climb up in them. In addition, they are also helpful for saving space, as they only take up a fraction of the size that two beds would normally take up. If you have two children sharing a room, then a bunk bed is a smart alternative to traditional beds. You can place it in a free corner of the room or up against a wall to get the most benefit from its space-saving effect.

Material

Whether you're looking to buy a bed, dresser, chest of drawers or any other type of furniture for your kid's room, you'll need to carefully check to see what material it's made of. As you probably already know, children can be quite careless with their furniture and furnishings in their room. When they start playing, they seem to forget that furniture can become damaged. While there's no sure-fire way to prevent damaged furniture in your kid's room, you can reduce the chance of it happening by purchasing pieces made of durable hardwood, such as cedar, oak and hard maple. These are all excellent choices that tend to hold up well under stressful conditions. Alternatively, metal and plastic materials are also strong and durable, so don't rule those out either.

Laundry Solutions For a Kid's Room

Lets face it, most kids throw their dirty clothes on the floor without thinking twice. It may only be a sock here and a shirt there, but it will gradually accumulate to a cluttered pile of dirty clothes that takes away from the natural beauty and functionality of their room. Instead of allowing your child to carry on with this bad habit, you should come up with a solution for their dirty laundry. Even if their room is small and has limited space, there are still numerous ways to deal with their laundry; here's how:

Clothes Hampers

One of the easiest solutions for dirty clothes in your kid's room is a clothes hamper. You can find them available in countless sizes, shapes and styles to fit anyone's needs. There are even shorter hampers made specifically for small children, which are perfect to use in their room. Just find a corner or area up against the wall to place it where it will be out of the way. Once it's there, teach your child the importance of placing their dirty clothes in it instead of tossing them on the floor. It may take some encouragement, so don't feel discouraged if they aren't immediately using it. Try offering them a reward, such as ice cream or a game of bowling, if they successfully use it for a week without throwing their clothes on the floor.

Slide-Under-The-Bed Baskets

Another solution for your kid's dirty clothes is a slide-under-the-bed basket. As the name suggests, these are baskets short enough to slide directly under their bed. Not only are they perfect for keeping their dirty clothes off the floor, but they also help to save space in their room. The only problem with these baskets is the fact that some beds don't offer the available space for them; therefore, you may not be able to use them.

Shelf and Laundry Basket Combination

Yet another idea for your kid's dirty clothes is a shelf and laundry basket combination. Basically, you'll need to create a deep shelving unit on their wall or in a closet to store several different laundry baskets on. When they have dirty clothes, they can pull out the baskets to place their clothes in. If you want to give this a try, be prepared to spend extra time and money trying to build the shelf, as it needs to be quite deep and long to securely hold a standard laundry basket.

Setting Up a Study Area in a Kid's Room

Once your son or daughter starts elementary school, you should consider setting up a study area in their room. While they probably won't use it until further into their school years, it helps to stress the importance of learning and education, which is something every parent should seek in their children. As they grow older, you can have them do their homework in their distraction-free study area. The problem, however, is that many kids' rooms have little-to-no extra space, so how are you supposed to set up a study area?

Before we start, it's important to note that a study area doesn't have to consume a lot of the space in your kid's room. As long as you have a free corner or part of a wall, chances are you can turn it into a suitable area for them to read and learn. Of course a large and open area would be great, but it's not always necessary. Take a minute or two to go through your kid's room and identify a place that can work as a study area. You may need to move around some furniture and furnishings, so don't be afraid to make some adjustments.

Desk, Chair and Lamp

One of the easiest and most effective study areas is a simple combination of a small desk, chair and lamp. You can set this up practically anywhere in the room with little effort. When choosing a desk for your child's room, consider how tall and wide it is. Remember, they probably aren't tall enough to reach an adult-sized desk, so look for one that's made specifically for children. Most furniture shops sell models that are smaller and shorter so kids can reach them more easily. Alternatively, you might be able to find a kid's desk for sale at a yard sale or thrift store, so keep your eyes peeled.

Dresser and Chair

There are some dressers manufactured today that have the bottoms cut out in them for chairs to slide in. I guess you could say these models are half dresser and half desk, but they make great study areas for children. They can store all of their clothes and belongings in the dresser part, while still being able to use the surface of it as a study area.

You might have a hard time finding these types of dressers for sale, as most major furniture stores don't readily carry them. However, building one is actually not all that difficult if you're experienced with carpentry.

Girls' Room Decorating Ideas

Still trying to come up with a fun and attractive way to decorate your daugter's room? Instead of going with a generic decor with no real personal touch, you should take the time to style it in a way that says something about your daughter. For instance, if they are into princesses, perhaps you can incorporate them into the decor. Doing this creates their own personal space with elements that are relative to their interests. If you still need to some help decorating a young girl's room, keep reading and we'll go over some great ideas to consider.

Pink and Red Theme

Here's a simple yet sleek way to decorate a girl's room. The main principle shown in the photo above is to use a theme based around pink and red colors, as they naturally contrast well with one another. If you're interested in trying this in your daughter's room, you should stick with a basic soft pink on the walls and use a deeper red in other parts of the room. The light pink walls really open the room up in a fresh and relaxing manner, while the red highlights others areas. Most importantly, have some fun with the decorations, and don't feel like you must create a room exactly like the ones depicted here.

If you look closely, you'll see two small ottomans at the end of each bed. Although I've never personally used them in my home, I think they're a unique furnishing that brings another element to the decor. Besides, they contain both red and pink, so you can rest assured knowing they are going to match with the rest of your decor.

Clean Design

Here's another great idea to consider when decorating a girl's room. Although there are several different elements at play in the picture shown above, the basic theme is focused around a clean, modern decor using warm colors. Best of all, this type of decor in a girl's room will last well into their teen years, so you won't have to worry about changing it every few years. To achieve this decor, start by painting the walls in a warm color like the light yellow shown here. You can then work your way down to the bed sheets, curtains, area rug and furniture. Remember, a modern style like this relies on minimal clutter, so be sure to keep the floors clean and picked up at all times.

Christmas Decorating Ideas For a Kid's Room

Maybe it's for the simple fact that they get tons of presents at this time of the year, but children naturally love Christmas. If your child is excited about this holiday as most kids are, you should consider decorating their room in some festive elements. Doing so will allow them to have their very own piece of the Christmas season before the jolly bearded man comes down the chimney. If you're interested in learning more about Christmas decorations for a kid's room, keep reading and we'll go over some simple and inexpensive projects that anyone can do.

Hang Some Lights

You don't have to limit yourself to only using Christmas lights on your tree and the exterior of your home. Pick up some a box or two of colored Christmas lights and hang them in your kid's room to create a festive element that's perfect for this time of year. You can hang the lights around the door to their room, around a closet door, the television, or you can just run them along the area where the ceiling meets the wall. Have some fun with it and ask for input from your son or daughter. You can even allow them to participate by holding down the lights when necessary.

Add a Miniature Christmas Tree

Adding a miniature Christmas tree to your kid's room is another fun way to give them a piece of this festive holiday. It doesn't have to be a full-sized tree that towers up to the ceiling, but instead look for a small artificial one that's only a couple feet tall. Place it in an area of the room where it's going to be somewhat out of the way. After all, you don't want your kid knocking it down on accident when they are playing. You can even get out some ornaments and any leftover lights you have to let your kid decorate it with.

Nutcrackers, Santa Statues, Etc.

Go through all of your Christmas decorations and take out some of the items you think your kid would like in their room. Most young children love things like nutcrackers, santa statues, reindeers and practically anything that lights up. Chances are you aren't going to use them all, so why not give a couple to your kid? Just be sure to find a suitable area in their room to display them before handing them off. Depending on their current room setup, you may have to clear off some shelves or dresser space to create extra room for Christmas decorations.

Cleaning Tips and Tricks For a Kid's Room

If there's one thing you can count on with children, it's a dirty room. Practically every kid on the planet will naturally prefer to live in a dirty room over a clean one. Instead of placing their toys up where they belong, chances are they will leave them strewn out across the floor, creating a hazardous situation for anyone who dares to step foot inside their room. As a parent, this type of behavior can be frustrating and downright stressful at times. Thankfully, however, there are a couple of things you can do to help keep their room nice and tidy.

Teaching How To Clean

Keeping your kid's room clean starts by teaching them the importance of having their things picked up off the floor. Instead of punishing your child each time they their toys out on the floor, perhaps you can reward them when they pick it up. Set up a large calender on the wall and let your child place a sticker on it each time they clean up their room. You can then offer them rewards for collecting a certain amount of stickers within a month. For instance, you can take them out for ice cream when they reach 10 stickers, or maybe you can go see a movie if they get 15. This type of "end-goal" rewarding goes a long ways in showing your child what they must do to get something they want.

You have to remember that it's easy for children to forget where their things belong, especially when they have dozens of different toys and books. However, you can help them remember by placing labels on their storage shelves. If there's a shelf or storage bin for all of their action figures, then write action figures on it. Alternatively, you can hot glue an action figure to the front of it to make it even easier.

Cleaning Their Furniture

Even if you teach your child how to pick up their own room, they still won't be able to thoroughly clean their furniture. As a result, it will develop dust, dirt and grime unless you give it some occasional TLC. About once every 1-2 weeks, go into their room with a lint-free dusting cloth and some furniture polish and wipe down all of their furniture. Don't just focus on the visible areas, but actually take everything off their furniture and get every square inch of the surface. Pay close attention to their desks and dresser, as many children like to place their drinks here without a coaster. When cleaning their bed, take the mattress off to get underneath the frame as well.

Choosing The Right Rug For a Kid's Room

An area rug is the perfect decorative accessory for a kid's room. Not only does it add to the overall style and decor, but there are also several other uses for it. A kid's room area rug creates a comfortable area where they can sit and play with their toys, which is a huge benefit in homes with hardwood or laminate flooring. Instead of forcing your kid to play on the cold, hard floor, they'll have a soft rug where they can lay and play on as they please.

Another benefit that comes from using an area rug in your kid's room is the simple fact that it protects the floor. Lets face it, kids can create quite a mess, and things like spilled sodas and drinks can ruin the flooring underneath. However, an area rug gives a protective layer that will prevent any spilled drinks from soaking through to the floor. As long as you clean it off the rug in a timely manner, it should remain looking as clean as it did when you first got it.

What Size Do I Need?

The first thing you'll need to decide on is the size. Area rugs come in all shapes and sizes, and contrary to what some people may believe, bigger isn't always the best option. Go into their room with a measuring tape and get the exact dimensions of the area where you intend on placing the rug. Ideally, you want it to cover up as much space as possible to create a comfortable playing area, but you don't want it to overlap with the walls, furniture or other furnishings in the room.

What Material Should I Get?

Another decision you'll have to make when choosing an area rug for a kid's room is the material. Some of the most popular materials used are polyester, wool, cotton and recycled plastic, all of which have their own unique properties and characteristics. If you allow your kid to drink in their room, you'll want to go with a material that repels moisture fairly easy. Plastic blends and polyester both do a pretty good job at wicking away any liquids exposed to them, so take this into consideration.

Style and Design

Because it's being used in your kid's room, you should choose a rug with a fun, playful design on it. I recommend narrowing your selection down based on the criteria listed above, and then let your kid choose the one they like best. After all, it's going in their room, so they should have some voice in the decision-making process.

3 Tips For Creating The Perfect Children's Playroom

Playrooms are designed to give your child their own space to play with their toys, read books, watch television, take naps or do whatever is they want. Instead of running through the house terrorizing the family pets, they will have their own personal room to do play in. Most parents will find playrooms are a welcome addition to the home, as they take some of the work off their back. However, to get the most benefit from this area, you must set it properly and safely. Here are a couple tips that will help you achieve the perfect children's playroom.

Playful Decor

Instead of painting the playroom walls the same color scheme as the rest of your home, you should think outside the box and go with a more playful color combination. Remember, this room is dedicated to your kid (or kids), so paint the walls in colors that will please them the most. Ask your child what color he or she wants the walls to be and use their input when painting. A simple blue tone will likely work well for a boy's playroom, while pink will work equally as well for a girl's playroom. When in doubt, it's hard to go wrong with blue, yellow, green, orange or red, as these are bright and vibrant colors that create a more lively atmosphere.

Storage

Because playrooms are designed as areas for children to play and be free, you're going to need plenty of storage space available; otherwise, you'll be tripping over toys left and right whenever you enter the room. The problem, however, is that most young children aren't able to reach up high to place their toys on shelves, so they leave them scattered across the floor. If you expect your child to put back any toys they take out, you must create a storage area where they can easily reach and access. Basic cubby bins are the perfect option for most small-to-medium sized toys. You can find these available at Wal-Mart and Target, and they sit directly on the floor. Explain to your child what each of the bins is for and tell them to only put those toys in it. Of course it may take some time before they fully grasp the concept of a cubby bin, but they'll eventually understand how it works.

Avoid Tall Shelves

Lets face it, some kids can be quite rambunctious when they're playing, especially when the watchful eyes of their parents aren't hovering over them. This typically isn't a problem, but they tall shelves with heavy items on top can create a dangerous situation. If your child were to accidentally bump or run into it, the content on top may fall over and injure them. To prevent this from happening, make sure any shelves used in their playroom are secured to the wall and that there are no heavy items on sitting on top of them.

Decorating a Kid's Room on a Budget

Decorating a kid's room is a fun task that gives you the freedom of creating a youthful environment for your son or daughter. Because it's going to be used for a kid, you have more options when it comes to the style of decor used. Instead of going with contemporary or modern antiques found throughout the rest of your home, you can stray off the beaten path by decorating it in something that's more personal to your child's hobbies and interests. If you're looking for ways to decorate a kid's room without it costing an arm and a leg, keep reading and we'll go over some simple and inexpensive ideas that kids love.

Painting The Walls

The wall color is arguably one of the most influential decorative features in a kid's room. When it's done right, it will create a fun and youthful atmosphere that brings the surrounding elements together in a cohesive fashion. When it's done wrong, though, the walls will take away from the natural beauty of the room, making it look more like a traditional "guest" bedroom instead of a kid's room. So, what colors are suitable for the walls in a kid's room? Try to stick with vibrant, bold and fun colors to use. Some paint color ideas to consider are light green, light blue, dark blue, pink, red and yellow to name a few.

Also, don't feel like you have to limit yourself to a single paint color in your kid's room. Remember, decorating it is all about having fun and creating a youthful atmosphere, so using multiple colors is perfectly fine. Just remember to follow the basics of using similar or contrasting colors to create a matching combination.

Decorative Accessories

When it comes to a kid's room, small decorative accessories go a long ways in creating an attractive decor. If you're on a budget, ask some of your friends or family members with older kids if they have anything they would like to pass down. Once kids reach a certain age, parents are left with some of their old toys and accessories that they no longer use or want. Instead of throwing them away, chances are they would be more than happy to share them with you.

Ideally, you want to use decorative accessories that speak something about your kid's hobbies and interests. For instance, if he or she is into baseball, then you should try to find a glove, baseball display or bat to use in their room. With a little bit of ingenuity, you can turn a baseball bat into a decorative wall display that your kid is sure to love.

Choosing The Right Children's Bed

A lot of work and planning goes into setting up a children's room. You have to think about how you're going to arrange the furniture, where to store their clothes, what the best solution is for their toys, and most importantly what type of bed to use. Although some parents may simply pass down one of their old beds for their child to use, this may not be the best option. It should go without saying that children are smaller than adults; therefore, they have unique needs that must be met, which includes the type of bed they sleep on.

Should I Go With a Bunk Bed?

Some parents may automatically dismiss the notion of using a bunk bed in their child's room for the simple fact that they could fall off. While this is certainly a possibility with some of the older model bunk beds, most of the new ones are designed with side railing that prevents such accidents. Even if your child is active and frequently rolls around during his or her sleep, the railing will prevent them from rolling off.

If you only have one child, then you might want to skip a bunk bed and look for something smaller to save space. On the other hand, if you have multiple kids or are expecting more in the near future, purchasing a bunk bed is a smart investment that will save you both space and money. Besides, kids seem to naturally love bunk beds for the simple fact that they can climb up on them.

Design and Appearance

Another consideration you'll have to make when choosing a children's bed is the overall design and appearance. If your child is over the age of 6, you'll want to avoid beds that look too "childish", such as those constructed in the shape of race cars, dinosaurs, etc. These are perfectly fine for younger kids, but once they hit the age of 6, you really need to start planning for long-term use and childish beds aren't going to cut it.

Children's beds come in numerous designs and styles. While some of them are made with cheap particle board, others are designed out of high-quality oak or maple wood. I recommend staying away from the mass-produced models that are constructed out of particle board and sticking with authentic hardwood instead. Not only will they look more attractive, but they're sure to last longer as well.

Mattress

Once you've chosen a bed for your child, you'll need to get a mattress for it. You can find small twin and double models available at most mattress stores. Just remember to find one with a good mixture of firmness and cushion to create a comfortable sleeping experience for your child.

Wall Decorating Ideas For a Kid's Room

Wall decorations are an important element in any young boy or girl's room. Although it's not completely necessary for the room to function as it should, otherwise simple wall decorations bring more life and style to the atmosphere; therefore, making it more enjoyable for them to be in. The problem, however, is that many parents have no clue how or where to start when it comes to decorating their kid's room. Unlike other parts of the house, you can't throw a coat of paint on it and call it a day. To truly achieve a fun and stylish room for your kid, you must decor the walls with a little extra ingenuity.

Vinyl Wall Art

One of the easiest and most effective ways to decorate a kid's room is through the use of vinyl wall art. As the name suggests, these are large decals with a self-adhesive backing. You just peel the backing off and then place it directly on the area of the wall you want it on. Vinyl wall art can be found in everything from full nature scenes to names, phrases and initials. Whether you're decorating a boy or girl's room, you're sure to find some vinyl wall art to fit.

If you're interested in using vinyl wall art, I recommend checking some online stores for them. While you can usually find them available for sale at Wal-Mart and other large retailers, some of the smaller online shops tend to have a better selection.

Quilts

Another wall decor idea to consider for your kid's room is a quilt. Because of their unique designs and colorful appearance, quilts are the perfect item to hang on the wall. If you don't want to damage it by hammering a nail through it, 3M sells hooks that will stick to any surface, including a quilt.

So, just where in the world are you supposed to find a quilt to use on the walls of your kid's room? If you don't have any extras stored away in the closet, take a visit to some of the local thrift stores in your area. Depending on luck you are, you might be able to come away with some unique, handcrafted quilts for pennies on the dollar.

Paintings

Most kids love to get their hands dirty with paint. I'm not sure why, but there's just something natural that draws children to this messy hobby. You can take advantage of this fact by giving a large canvas to your kid and letting them paint with several different colors. Once they're finished, give the canvas plenty of time to dry and then hang it on their wall.

Storage Solutions For a Kid's Room

One of the biggest problems parents run into when setting up a room for their son or daughter is not having space to store all of their belongings. Whether they're 2 years old or 10, chances are they have more toys than they know what to do. Unfortunately, trying to keep these toys neatly stored away is a futile task that many parents seem to give up on. However, before you go throwing in the towel just yet, you should consider some of these simple and easy storage solutions for your child's room.

Chests or Trunk

Large chests or trunks are the perfect storage item for a kid's room. They're stylish, match just about any style of decor, and they contain plenty of space inside for stashing away toys, books, extra blankets or anything else you can think of. When choosing a chest or trunk for your kid's room, be sure to find one with a deep bottom; otherwise, it will serve more of a decorative item and less as a storage solution. Once you've found on, place it either directly at the foot of their bed or up against a blank wall. Explain to your child that the chest or trunk is used to store their toys and they should put them up in it when they're done playing. Hopefully, they grow accustomed to their new trunk and get into the habit of putting their toys up.

Utilizing The Closet

You would probably be surprised at just how much space people waste in their closet. Just because there's a single clothes rod installed in it doesn't mean you can't use it for other purposes. Depending on the size of your closet, you should consider installing additional shelves on the back wall. As long as the shelves don't protrude far enough to block the clothes rod, they should work just fine. You can use these shelves for placing stacks of clothes and other items you need to store away.

Cubby Bins

Small boxes, or cubby bins, are yet another storage idea that's perfect for a kid's room. You can find them available at most home improvement stores, and they're easy enough to install so that anyone can do it. Typically, all you have to do is drill the screws inside the wall to secure it. Once it's secured, you can fill it up with any items that you either want to decorate the room with or store away. Just remember not to overload it with more weight than it's capable of handling.
