Decluttering Your Playroom: Ideas
For Playroom Storage
by Gary Clay
A designated playroom is a great way to give your child plenty of room
to play, but playroom storage that looks attractive and still allows
easy access to toys can be hard to find. The best playroom storage
options offer simple ways to organize toys so your child can easily find
what he is looking for without pulling out a million other toys. Ideal
playroom storage also makes it easy for your child to return toys to
their proper place so the playroom doesn't have to hide behind closed
doors!
There are a lot of creative ideas for functional and versatile playroom
storage. Many playroom storage ideas are also creative decorating ideas!
A simple section of garden trellis can be refinished in any color or
design. Add wooden pegs or drawer pulls before hanging it on the wall.
This is a perfect storage area for dress up clothes, especially purses
and hats. A few simple hanging coat racks can serve the same purpose.
The right playroom storage for small toys is usually a very difficult
decision. A simple divided bookshelf is perfect for storing much more
than books! Separate the shelves into a variety of different sizes and
use colorful and unique containers to store small toys, like doll
accessories, toy cars, or blocks. Remember to label toy containers with
pictures and words to make it easier for your child to clean up.
Hanging shoe holders make great playroom storage tools! These versatile
holders can hang over the door and work well on the outside of closet
doors, or may hang on a nail anywhere on the wall, depending on the
selected style. Shoe holders can be used to store small doll
accessories, collections of race cars or small stuffed toys, or even
arts and crafts supplies.
You can create a special area just for arts and crafts and use the table
as storage for the supplies. Hang fabric that matches your playroom
around the edges of the table, reaching to the floor. Keep your supplies
in plastic containers and stash them under the table for a simple and
attractive playroom storage option.
Try storing bigger toys in homemade playroom storage boxes. Let your
child decorate sturdy, oversized cardboard boxes with paints, markers,
wrapping paper scraps, stencils, etc. When the boxes are finished, use
them in the playroom as toy boxes for dolls, stuffed animals, or big
cars and trucks.
Stuffed animal collections often grow quickly and are usually rarely
played with, yet it is hard to give away cherished teddy bears from the
infant years. There are several playroom storage ideas to keep stuffed
animals out of the way. Mesh laundry baskets can hold several stuffed
toys and can be hung from a peg on the wall to keep them out of the way.
Toy hammocks that attach to the corner of the wall are also a cute way
to store stuffed toys. Outgrown cribs, toddler beds, or playpens can
become home to all these beloved friends as well.
