If your child can’t read yet, use pictures or icons on the containers, so they’ll know what goes where.
8. Plush Toy Hammock
If your kid has a collection of dolls or stuffed animals, chances are they’re scattered all over the bedroom. Hanging a mesh hammock in the corner of your child’s room will provide a stylish way for them to declutter the room and neatly display all those plushies. For large collections, simply hang multiple hammocks from floor to ceiling.
9. Ditch The Toy Box


If you’ve ever had a toy box, you know it quickly becomes a catch-all for clutter. Instead of tossing everything into one giant box, cut the clutter by organizing your kid’s toys into groups, like books, baby dolls, dress-up clothes, sports equipment, art supplies, and more. Then, store each group of toys in its own container or shelf. You can use a large laundry bag for all of the miscellaneous and soft items.
10. Keep It In Buckets
Take the popular modern farmhouse look into your little one’s room by using an assortment of metal buckets to store toys, books, art supplies, race cars, fashion dolls, and more. Use chalkboard stickers on the buckets so you can neatly label the contents while keeping with your farmhouse theme.
11. It’s Magnetic
Magnets are a game-changer when it comes to organizing your boy’s bedroom! Hang magnetic knife strips on the wall for a unique way to hang and display small metal toys and matchbox cars.

12. Dressed Up
Now you can let your little ones to draw on the furniture! Transform an unsightly old dresser into a work of art with a can of chalkboard paint. Then, use chalk to label what’s in the drawers to encourage them to put their clothes away. Or, let your budding artist decorate the dresser however they like.

Kids always have things that need hanging, from coats and jackets to backpacks and sporting gear. You can use any variety of hooks that will work seamlessly with your kid’s room decor—animal shapes, stars, sports or crowns, and everything in between.

Floating shelves are a fantastic way to make use of the wall space you have available in your little one’s room—especially if you’re limited on floor space.

16. Color-Coded


Fabric storage boxes are available in an endless variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, making it extremely convenient for you to organize and color-coordinate everything in your kid’s room.

23. Crates Are Great


Not just for storage anymore, crates have become an incredibly versatile design staple when it comes to a kid’s room organization. Stack them to create a bookshelf for their reading nook, paint them all different colors to match the room’s decor, or cut them in half and hang on the wall for a unique storage idea when decorating a small bedroom.
24. Art On Display
If your kid’s drawings and paintings are piling up, you’ll love this bedroom decor idea! Encourage your little artist to keep on creating by hanging empty picture frames on the wall or a string with clothespins attached. When your youngster creates a new piece of artwork, they can hang it from the clothespin. It’s super easy to swap out their masterpieces as they make new ones.
25. Rolling Art Cart
Metal rolling storage carts are a popular design trend right now, and for a good reason. They are incredibly versatile and stylish. In a girl’s bedroom, use one to keep her makeup, nail polish, and hairstyling tools organized and easy to access. In a baby’s room, a rolling cart is perfect next to the diaper changing table for keeping diapers and wipes within reach. They’re also great for storing books, art supplies, and school supplies, and can even function as a nightstand.
26. Pegboard Organizer

Not only is pegboard inexpensive and easy to use, but it is highly customizable, so you’re sure to find a perfect fit for everything you want to put in order. Paint it to match the walls for a seamless solution or create a focal point in their play space by painting it a fun color and adding a frame.
27. Spice Rack Repurpose
Repurpose inexpensive wooden spice racks into stylish floating bookshelves. The unique design of a spice rack is perfect for storing outward-facing books, making them easy for kids to grab when they’re in the mood for a story. Thin enough to hang behind a bedroom door, they’re great for those rooms that are short on space.
28. Card Game Keepers
Old Maid, Go Fish, or Crazy Eights, card games are an ever-popular pastime for kids—but the cards themselves can be tricky to keep track of. Cards get lost, boxes get crushed, instructions go missing. That is, until now! Use empty baby wipe containers or food storage boxes to keep those card games in order.
29. Keep It Kid-Sized
They’ll be more likely to keep things tidy if they can reach them. In the closet, add a kid-height closet rod to encourage them to put their own clothes away. When putting clothes in a dresser, put the most-used items in the lower drawers that are easier to reach. Hang wall hooks at child level and store books and toys near the floor for easy access.
30. Magazine Racks


Kids’ books and coloring books tend to be small and thin—just like a magazine. So why not make use of magazine storage solutions when organizing your little one’s room? Use magazine racks that lean against the wall to display their favorite books and use magazine file boxes to keep coloring books in order on their bookshelf or desk.
31. Get The Kids Involved
Resist the urge to do it all alone. If you enlist in your child’s help when you organize their room, declutter and purge the things they no longer need, they’ll be more invested in their own personal space—and more interested in keeping it neat and tidy. They’ll also learn valuable life skills like organizational logic, charity, and the importance of keeping things clean.
32. Cut The Clutter
It’s a lot easier to organize if you declutter first—get rid of broken toys and clothes they’ve outgrown. If they’re still in good condition, donate, give away, or sell what you no longer want. Then sort everything—clothes, stuffed animals, arts and crafts, toy cars, LEGOs, fashion dolls, you name it. Now you’re ready to organize everything properly.
33. A Place For Everything…
…and everything in its place. Make sure everything in the room has its own designated place. If it’s something your child uses a lot, keep it somewhere they can easily access it. Things they don’t often need can be kept up high or out of sight. Giving everything a proper place can make a world of difference when it comes to keeping the room clean and organized.
34. Give Them An Incentive


When it comes to having your child keep their room organized, it always helps to give them an incentive, like earning money or points for prizes by completing certain tasks. If you’re trying to declutter and purge old toys, give them a point for each item they let go of or share a portion of the profits on anything you sell. Offer an allowance for keeping their room tidy or keep track with a chore chart.
35. Make It A Game
Kids can be convinced to do just about anything—including keeping their room neat and tidy—if you make a game of it. See who can fold a pile of clothes the fastest, test their ABCs by having them organize their books in alphabetical order, or play a game of “I Spy” that involves them putting away the items you “spy.” They’ll love the time they get to spend with you, and you’ll love the clean room.

When organizing and decorating your child’s room, always keep their wants and interests in mind. Whether they’re into sports or dream of being a princess, when you let their personality shine with customized kid’s room must-haves, you’ll create a kid-friendly space they’ll be proud to keep neat and tidy.
