There is no better time to get the children involved with some de-cluttering and reorganisation of their space than in the summer. A child’s bedroom needs to serve multiple functions: a place to sleep in comfort; somewhere to store their toys and clothing and a space in which to play. A clean and organised space makes for a calm and restful environment.
Shelving systems are an excellent bedroom storage solution as they maximise use of wall space, where floor space is often at a premium and are available in a choice of attractive yet durable materials. Shelving forms the basic skeleton of the storage which can then be filled with storage boxes for toys, books, CDs, DVDs and clothing. Work out what space you have available and start from there – a kids’ bedroom starter kit is excellent value and comes in natural pine and so will complement any décor.
Make use of the space under the bed with plastic storage boxes: ideal for storing items which don’t need to be accessed frequently, such as winter clothes and coats.
Sort through clothes and toys and decide what can be recycled, sold or donated to charity – be ruthless! Once you have decided what to keep sort things into plastic storage boxes and label them clearly to help your child with keeping them organised in the future. For smaller children, consider drawing pictures on the labels so they can easily see what belongs in what box.
Here at BiGDUG we offer a great range of shelving and storage solutions to help you create an attractive, tidy space for your children.
