children’s closets

A few simple tips to keep your child’s closet organized.

1} Install lower hanging bars. This allows children to reach their own clothing.

2} Install bins or lidless baskets. Bins make it easy for children to put away and grab socks, underwear, PJs, swimsuits, accessories and shoes.

3} Catagorize. Clothing dividers are optional.

4} Rainbow color order. Children learn their colors in preschool. By color coding clothes, it is quicker to match and make outfits.

5} One laundry basket. Keeping it small will force you to do laundry more often. 

6} One out-grown basket. Children out-grow clothing and shoes quickly. A bin will allow you to store those items until you are ready to sell or donate them.

7} Hooks. Hooks make hanging anything quicker. Mount around shoulder level.

slender book storage

Using slender book storage will make any room more spacious. Get creative! Build your own by re-purposing wood, crates, shutters and rain gutters. They take up minimal space and can be mounted at varying heights to accommodate all family members.

children’s bedrooms

A well organized child’s bedroom will keep both you and your child happy.

1} Make use of space under the bed.  Lidless containers at your child’s level will allow him/her to easily put items away. You are also teaching responsibility and respect for things in the process.

2} Keep floor space open by using slender furniture and going vertical with storage.

3}  Limit bedding to a fitted sheet and comforter. Your child will be able to make their own bed easier {especially with school back in session!}.

4} Avoid storing toys in the bedroom unless you lack space elsewhere.
