6 Fun & Easy Kids' Bedroom Organiser

When everything has its own place, keeping your child's room tidy becomes so much easier. The right storage furniture can even make organising toys and trinkets a fun game — especially if you involve your child in deciding where everything should go. This not only keeps the room neat but also helps them feel a sense of ownership and responsibility over their space.

1. Arrange toys by size & weight.

How can you keep toys organised while making it safe for your child to access them? Use IKEA's toy storage solutions like low storage units for larger toys they can easily reach, and wall-mounted drawers for other items. This setup allows your child to grab what they need for playtime and makes clean-up simple, encouraging independence while keeping the room tidy.

2. Provide a create-art-&-get-messy space!

Missing art supplies is a common challenge for parents, but there's an easy solution! Avoid the hassle of constantly buying new supplies by setting up a creative corner for your child. Organise pens, paper, and craft materials in accessible boxes on a shelf near their desk, so everything they need is within reach. Add a fun, playful lamp to brighten up the space and inspire their creativity, making art time both organised and exciting!

3. Display your child’s favourite books and toys.

Read more, as we say. Make it easy for them by displaying their favourite books where they can easily reach for them. A simple kids' display storage unit might do the trick, which can also display their ever-changing favourite things & learning toys. No extra space? Go for a wall rack display by their bed or study desk.

4. Movable toy storage solves everything.

Make clean-up time easy and fun by keeping storage solutions right where your child plays. Portable storage options let them carry their toys and tidy up effortlessly. Try a plastic toy box for quick access, or add a stylish touch with a wooden toy box on wheels. For an even more organised space, consider toy storage with compartments, perfect for keeping soft toys neatly arranged. These simple solutions turn tidying into a breeze!

Make chores fun and add some smiles to clean-up time! Use clever storage solutions with hidden compartments to make tidying up easy, or turn it into a game — like "feeding" small toys to a cheerful whale plushie that zips up its mouth for storage. Play an upbeat tune to keep the energy positive and playful, turning clean-up into a fun part of your child's routine!

6. Share the love.

Feeling overwhelmed with so many toys, and don’t want to throw them away? Try placing a basket in your child’s room for items they’ve outgrown. It’s an easy way to keep things organised and encourages your child to share their toys with others. Simple, effective, and a great way to teach them about giving!
