Fun & Functional Storage Ideas For The Kid’s Room

Rob Marchese • May 9, 2019

Kids are known to be messy. From not putting away their toys after using them, to forgetting to make the bed in the morning, to accumulating way more stuff than they have room for, or the attention span for, it’s easy to see how a child’s room gets disorderly quickly. With the right plan, tools and mindset put into place though, keeping the clutter from becoming out of control is possible.

Check out these suggestions, like furniture that doubles as storage and color coordinated organization concepts, for keeping your kids’ room clean and stocked with plenty of engaging storage options!

Window Seat Storage
The area underneath the windowsill is often underutilized, but this space is the perfect spot to position a window seat that has storage built in. The kids will love nestling in with a book on the seat, watching the world outside of the window and sitting there with friends.

Colored Cube Shelving
Cube shelves are a very popular storage and organizational tool in a child’s bedroom. They can be kept open, but even better than being kept open, they can be fitted with different color cube baskets. This will keep the contents of the cube hidden making the room look neater. In addition to looking more tidy, the colors of the cube baskets can denote what is inside that basket. Blue for books, red for race cars, brown for bears, etc. When choosing your cube shelving, make sure that the top row of cubbies isn’t too high up. It has to be at a height that is reachable for children.

Play Table With Storage Spots Underneath
A play table in a kid’s bedroom is the perfect spot to set up a stuffed animal tea party, lay out a puzzle, do some arts and crafts, and lots of other activities that require a flat surface. When picking out a play table, remember to purchase one that includes storage areas underneath the table top portion as well.

Hanging Bedside Organizer
Kids like to have a lot of things on hand when they go to bed. Their favorite plush toys, their latest bedtime story, their digital gaming devices, etc. With a bedside organizer held in place by the weight of their mattress, the items they use regularly before bed will have a designated spot to be put away in. Hanging conveniently within arms reach, those items will be perfectly positioned to be taken out when needed.
