Smart Storage: The Art of Invisible Order in the Child's Room

Categories: Children's Room

The issue of storage in a child's room is often central for parents. Indeed, children tend to scatter things quickly and may have difficulty getting started when it comes to tidying up. Therefore, it is necessary to find suitable tricks that will allow you to enjoy an orderly room with ease.

Why is it important to tidy up in a child's room?

Storage in a child's room is of great importance. Indeed, it is primarily a means of making the child responsible and helping them acquire more autonomy. From a very young age, it is entirely possible to involve your child in tidying their room and make it a regular task that they can quickly perform on their own.

Moreover, having an organized space is much more pleasant. Your child knows where to find each item according to their desires and can thus access their toys and books without difficulty. Furthermore, the bedroom is a space dedicated to sleep. It is therefore very important that this environment is suitable for rest, and a disorganized room does not create the serene environment necessary for falling asleep. It is therefore important that the room is tidy at the end of the day so that your child can rest optimally.

What furniture for an organized room?

First step to enjoy a well-organized room: installing storage furniture.

The dresser

The children's dresser is undoubtedly the most essential piece of furniture to choose. It can be installed from birth and follow your child over the years. The bedroom dresser indeed allows you to store clothes, linens of all kinds, and many other objects depending on needs. A dresser for a child's room takes up little space and can therefore be easily installed, regardless of the size of the room.

The children's dresser is therefore essential and offers great storage capacity. This is particularly the case with our MILOR white and wood dresser.

The wardrobe

If the space in the room allows, you can also opt for installing a wardrobe. The wardrobe allows you to have even more space to store your child's clothes. It can also be used to store linens and other items depending on the space you have available.

The bed with storage

Finally, you can complete everything by opting for a bed with storage. This type of bed allows for shelves, a chest, or a drawer under the bed frame, depending on the model. This clever piece of furniture provides even more space to organize all your child's belongings.

How to store books and toys?

As for storing toys and books, it requires adapting according to the volume of what is in your child's room. Several solutions can be considered, such as storage cubes, baskets, toy chests, etc. These will allow you to easily store your child's toys and, even better, create a fun and easy-to-implement organization system.

As for books, the ideal solution remains, of course, the bookshelf. If you lack space, there's no need to opt for a large format; bookshelves come in all sizes to best match what you need.

How to make a child understand to tidy their room?

Once the room is furnished to facilitate storage, it will be necessary to make your child understand that they also have a major role to play. The most effective approach remains to establish good habits from early childhood. Teaching a young child to enjoy tidying up is very simple, as the result is immediately appreciable. Putting all the stuffed animals in a basket, building blocks in a chest, are all easy actions even for toddlers. Encourage these efforts and they will gradually develop a taste for this daily activity.

For older children, you can set up a sorting system by theme or even by color to make things even more fun. Our advice? Ask your child to tidy up regularly, otherwise they might get discouraged by the magnitude of the task. Adjust the rhythm according to the state of the room for short but effective tidying sessions.

What tips to prevent closets from overflowing?

If at home the closets tend to overflow, it may be that you lack storage or that your child has too many items in stock. Before anything else, it is recommended to do a big sorting. Empty wardrobes, dressers, toy chests, and other storage baskets to sort everything into the following categories:

  • To keep
  • To sell
  • To donate
  • To throw away

Once the sorting is done (with the participation and agreement of your child, of course), you can reorganize everything. This is where you will be able to realize if the storage available in the room is still suitable. You might need to consider buying additional storage baskets or adding a small bookshelf, for example.

You can repeat this process, for example, once a year. This allows for a big sorting and cleaning of the room.
