I recently came across some Trundle beds with tons of storage drawers underneath in a furniture catalogue. Instead of placing a mattress under the bed, as would be the norm, use it for toy storage and clothing storage.
Use pre made baskets to organize all of your child’s stuff. Simply line the inside of the drawer of the trundle bed with baskets. This will keep a big junk pile from happening!!
Here are some fun ideas for using hooks to display your everyday items as art in your child’s bedroom:
Hang hooks high over the bed in a row. Hang your child’s clean little league uniforms and gear up and you have free art!
A row of simple hooks attached to the wall makes a organize jewelry holder. If your child has tons of dress up clothes an play jewelry this is a great way to display them. Jump ropes and skates also look great displayed this way.
Use up some vertical space to add storage to your child’s bedroom. Don’t limit yourself to one cute basket or trunk at the end of the bed. Make sure you buy some sturdy baskets or boxes with lids. Stack them up three deep and three wide. Be sure to label them if you can not see into them.
Also, place less used items in baskets on the bottom.
You have tripled your storage and created a fun focal point in your child’s bedroom
Storage Curtains
Curtains are fabulous way to hide an entire storage wall in your child’s bedroom. You can make any space into a visually appealing closet this way! To save money use colorful bedding sheets as the curtains. To save more money you could use push pins or upholstery tacks to install you curtains to the ceiling.
Storage ottomans are perfect for a small child’s bedroom because they can serve double duty. Brightly colored storage ottomans can work as a night stand, coffee table, extra seating, and even simply accent furniture. Try replacing existing chairs with storage ottomans. If you have a small work table in your child’s bedroom, then use for storage ottomans around the table in place of the child sized chairs.
You can find so many colorful ottomans to solve your storage solutions almost anywhere. Target, Wal-Mart, Ikea, Pier One, and even Linens and Things all sell a variety of storage ottomans.
