Keeping a child's bedroom organized can feel like a never-ending task. Toys seem to multiply overnight, clothes pile up quickly, and books, games, and craft supplies can take over every available surface.
The good news? With a little planning—and sometimes a little extra storage—you can create a space that's easier to keep organized and more enjoyable for your child. If your home is running out of storage space, renting a storage unit at Elite Self Storage can help you stay organized without having to give up the belongings you want to keep.
Whether you're organizing a nursery, toddler room, or teenager's bedroom, these practical storage ideas will help reduce clutter and make cleanup much easier.
Before buying storage bins or reorganizing furniture, take time to sort through everything.
Create three simple piles:
Keep
Donate or Sell
Store for Later
Broken toys, puzzles with missing pieces, dried-out craft supplies, and clothing that no longer fits should be removed first.
Encourage your children to participate in the process. Let them choose toys and books they no longer use to donate to another child. Involving kids helps teach organization, generosity, and responsibility.
Children rarely play with every toy they own at once.
Instead of filling every shelf, choose a selection of favorite toys to keep in their room and pack the rest away.
Every few months, swap stored toys with the current collection. Toy rotation keeps bedrooms less cluttered while making old toys feel exciting again.
If you don't have enough room at home, one of our secure storage spaces provides a convenient place to safely store seasonal toys, large playsets, and other items your children will use again later. It's an easy way to reduce clutter while keeping your child's favorite belongings nearby when you need them.
Children grow quickly, which means clothing sizes change constantly.
Regularly sort clothing into categories:
Clothes that still fit
Clothing for younger siblings
Donate
Seasonal clothing
Label storage bins clearly by size so it's easy to find what you need later.
Many families also use climate-controlled storage to protect baby clothes, bassinets, cribs, highchairs, strollers, bicycles, and other expensive children's equipment until they're needed again.
The easier storage is to use, the more likely children are to clean up after themselves.
Great options include:
Open cubby shelving
Toy organizers
Clear storage bins
Fabric baskets
Rolling storage carts
Label bins with words or pictures, depending on your child's age.
Keeping similar toys together—such as LEGO®, dolls, cars, puzzles, or art supplies—makes cleanup faster and helps children find what they're looking for.
Reading becomes more enjoyable when books are easy to access.
Instead of piling books on the floor, consider:
Floating bookshelves
Wall-mounted book racks
Small bookcases
Reading baskets
If space allows, create a cozy reading corner with a comfortable chair, bean bag, or soft rug. Add a basket of blankets and stuffed animals to make reading even more inviting.
Closets often become overcrowded with clothes, shoes, toys, and sports equipment.
Make better use of your closet by adding:
Hanging organizers
Extra shelving
Storage baskets
Hooks for backpacks and jackets
Shoe organizers
Using matching storage bins also creates a cleaner, more organized appearance.
Look for unused storage opportunities throughout the room.
Some ideas include:
Under-bed storage containers
Loft beds with built-in desks
Storage benches
Ottomans with hidden compartments
Beds with built-in drawers
Multi-purpose furniture helps maximize every square foot, especially in smaller bedrooms.
Sometimes your home simply doesn't have enough room for everything.
A storage unit is an excellent solution for storing items your family isn't using every day, including:
Baby furniture
Seasonal clothing
Extra toys
Sports equipment
Holiday decorations
Bicycles
Children's keepsakes
School projects
Furniture waiting for younger siblings
