You might be surprised to learn that kids like to be organized. They love to be able to just go in and have room to play and find the toys they want. They also love to get dressed for school without anyone fussing at them or stressing over being late because they can’t find things.Here are some pictures from a young lady’s room that I organized. Along with those, let me share a few tips for kids’ rooms:
- Label: Label the closet bar so that school clothes are separated from play clothes. It also makes it easy for them to put their own laundry away. Label the dresser drawers. Label the shelves.
- Think tall: Kids are not tall. Think tall and provide them with a safe step-stool so they can actual reach AND put away things.
- Be Open: An open shelf system,like this canvas ”sweater keeper” are great for kids because they can see what they are looking for. We used it to divide jeans from capris, slacks, leggings and winter hats.
- Book Shelves: I think these are essential in every child’s room. They need a place to put books, games, sports trophies or toys. I believe if you give them a home for things that is easy to use, there is a lot more chance that they will use it.
