Storage Ideas For Kids’ Rooms (Image 1 of 23)
Are your children’s rooms overwhelmed by toys, clothes and other clutter? Check out our gallery of buys and ideas that will have them looking shipshape in no time…
Furnish A Wall (Image 2 of 23)
If there’s a spare wall in your child’s bedroom, it’s worth covering it with one single storage unit that can house everything from clothes to toys – that way, you can keep the rest of the room lightly furnished. Wide shelves storage unit, from £225; double shelf storage unit, from £250; blackboard cupboard door storage unit, from £275, by Aspace.
Small Scale Idea (Image 3 of 23)
These generously-sized storage bags are ideal for storing all sorts of kids’ stuff. Their stiff sides ensure that all their – from dressing up clothes to shoes – are kept safely in one place. Each is lined with plastic for easy cleaning and comes with two sturdy handles. Toy and shoe bag, £20 each, Cox & Cox.
Small But Perfectly Formed (Image 4 of 23)
This compact 9-Box storage unit is good for small bedrooms that need extra space for toys, books or even shoes. It costs £49, Vertbaudet.
Find Adaptable Pieces (Image 5 of 23)
In a room with sloping ceilings, buy storage units that fit the space perfectly. Ideally, fitted furniture would give you maximum storage, but for a cheaper option, choose free-standing pieces. Troast frame, £59; storage boxes, from £1.50, Ikea.
Create A Play Space (Image 6 of 23)
This is a great solution for bedrooms that don’t have space for a playtable. The trundle will live under most beds, ready to be rolled out for play-time, and with two drawers on castors there is also ample storage within it. Underbed playtable with trundle drawers, £92, Great Little Trading Company.
Find Mobile Furniture (Image 7 of 23)
In a kids’ room, it always pays to find versatile pieces that can be moved easily (often by the kids themselves). This six drawer unit with coloured drawers can hold everything from toys to clothes and costs £140, Blooming Marvellous.
Choose Bright Colours (Image 8 of 23)
If you want the storage to blend away, paint it in soothing shades that match the walls. If you want your child’s room to be bright and bold, pick contrasting pieces. Storage Unit, from £39, Vertbaudet.
Two In One (Image 9 of 23)
We love this idea for a kids’ room. One minute it’s a comfy corner seat with practical drawer storage beneath, the next minute it’s a guest bed. Brilliant for kids’ rooms when they double up as guests rooms or if they have regular sleepovers. Got a playroom? Put one in there, too… Odda guest bed, £149, Ikea.
Fun Furniture (Image 10 of 23)
In a child’s room, you can choose furniture that’s a little more fun than you would elsewhere in the house – just bear in mind that within 10 years little ones will have grown out of it. Doll’s house book shelf, £100, Blooming Marvellous.
Keep It Versatile (Image 11 of 23)
As they get older, their room will need to be more versatile. We hate to be brutal, but once they’re off to university, or renting their first flat, their room will become a guest room, too. So, when redecorating a room belonging to someone in their late teens, bear this in mind. Of course, they’ll still need all their creature comforts – somewhere to surf the net or study, a place for their clothes and clutter – but you also need to start seeing the room as one with lots of purposes. All furniture and soft furnishings shown, Ikea.
Work In Homework Space (Image 12 of 23)
Even if your child doesn’t need a desk just yet, if you’re refurbishing their room, it’s worth catering to their future needs now. Library System combination, from £945, by Aspace.
Be Crafty (Image 13 of 23)
We’ve already said you need lots of storage – and the more so as they get older and use their rooms as a refuge from… well… you. So choosing something that does more than one job is a must. Take this wardrobe – it’s got hanging and shelf space, and lots more, PLUS the doors are mirrored, which will not only give them somewhere to admire themselves, but also cast extra light about the room. What’s more, the doors are sliding, which means they need alot less space than conventional opening doors. Brilliant. Pax Malm wardrobe, £245, Ikea.
Build A Window Seat (Image 14 of 23)
Use the space beneath a window to create a window seat to store toys, bedlinen, or bulky clothes. Wallpaper, from a selection at Sandberg.
No Room For A Desk? (Image 15 of 23)
It’s important for older kids to have somewhere quiet to study – but a desk can take up alot of room. This laptop work station is brilliant – it hangs on a wall, and is just 70cm W x 60cm H x 20cm D. PS laptop station, £29, Ikea.
Buy An Armoire (Image 16 of 23)
An armoire is a very good looking piece of furniture that will easily hold a small child’s clothes. However, be prepared for them to grow out of it (as their clothes get bigger). The good news is that a piece of furniture, such as this, will look just as good in a hallway or living space. This one has full-width hanging space, plus two adjustable shelves and plenty of drawer space. Belvoir Armoire, £1,000, by Aspace.
Hang It Up (Image 17 of 23)
We love these storage nets – it’s easy for your child to see what’s inside them, and if hitting the targets makes tidying up more fun for them, they might do it more often! The touch-and-close fastening opens if your child climbs up the net, so they’re a safe buy, too. PS Fangst hanging storage with six compartments, £2.99, Ikea.
Use Vertical Space (Image 18 of 23)
If your child has outgrown their bedroom, it’s worth getting a raised bed, beneath which you can put storage units, a homework desk and even a foldaway bed. This High Sleeper in Prussian blue costs from £895, by Aspace.
Fit Out An Older Child’s Room (Image 19 of 23)
Once the bedroom becomes a teenager’s study, you’ll need to make room for a large amount of storage – not just for books and folders, but for dvds and cds, too. This storage combo may take up a wall, but it provides an enormous amount of room for just about everything but clothes. As for the colour scheme – the richness of the royal blue contrasted with the brilliant white is boyish, but sophisticated. Frederik work station, £69; Expedit storage bookcases, £49 each, Ikea.
Buy A Bed With Storage Within It (Image 20 of 23)
If your child has got a small bedroom, buying double-up furniture is an absolute must. We love this Key West cabin bed by Aspace, from around £695. Also available in a wood finish, it has drawers and shelves beneath, plus its full adult size, so it will last them until they leave home (another important tip!). By Aspace.
Don’t Just Buy A Chest Of Drawers… (Image 21 of 23)
… buy a chest of drawers plus storage shelves. Clever, isn’t it, this unit. There’s plenty of drawer space, then on top, there are loads of handy compartments for just about everything. What’s more, it’s just 35cm deep, so it needn’t take up too much floor space. Vanna unit, £149, Ikea.
Keep It Neat (Image 22 of 23)
It’s not hard for a child’s room to become chaotic, so putting toys, particularly ones with small pieces, into colour-coded storage baskets or boxes that can be stacked on shelves, will help keep the room looking tidy (even if chaos reigns within the boxes themselves!).
Make It Open Plan (Image 23 of 23)
If they never shut their wardrobe doors – or use their wardrobes as the hiding place for ancient, moist socks, open storage is the key. However, they’ll have to keep it tidy(ish) and maybe not go for the dresses and skirts pictured… Eina wardrobe, £55, Ikea.
