With all of the children's toys, it can be difficult to keep things tidy. This is especially the case if you want to teach your child to clean up after playing. That's why it's important that there is enough storage space for storing toys. In this article, we have put together some great toy storage ideas that will help you take advantage of the little free space in the children's room and other rooms to always keep things tidy.
Storing toys on the shelf
There are many toy storage ideas. If the existing furniture is not sufficient, other options must be used. It's practical way to use walls to store it. These original rings wonderfully accommodate the plush toys, which also become a playful decoration.
at the door
Simple textile bags are great for creating additional storage space. You can attach these to the wall as well as to the door. Also print the bags with lettering that reveals what goes into each bag. For this type of hook, use hooks that the handles cannot slip off.
Furniture as storage space
Any shelves are suitable for storage in the children's room. You can put together different modules to adapt the shelf to the room or to create a varied design. A toy storage box then does the rest. The children can simply throw their toys in without the mess being visible.
Here you can see a great homemade idea that you can use for the children's room as well as for the garden or garage. Ordinary metal buckets were simply labeled with stickers and placed on a shelf. Balls, chalk, toys for the sandpit and also plush toys can be stored in it.
No large boxes, drawers or shelves are necessary for smaller items. You can also use simple mason jars, which come in different sizes, for storage. If you want pens, paints, play dough or small toy figures to be stored practically and visibly, choose this variant.
Toys under the bed
Many children have the habit of quickly shoving their toys under the bed when asked to clean up their children's room. This is of course annoying for the parents. But let's be honest, the space under the bed is useful, isn't it? Such drawers on wheels as an idea can prove to be practical, especially when equipped with a gaming table like this one.
Wall niches for toys, clothing and decorations
You probably already know that wall niches are the perfect areas for new storage space. They are usually unsuitable for standard furniture, especially under a sloping roof. A homemade shelf can help and can be used to store toys. If so, thenSpace for booksor even clothing, the idea is even better!
Many toy cars are not uncommon, especially among boys. The preference quickly turns into an unwanted (or even wanted) collection, where you lose track if the cars are just collected in a box. A special shelf is the better option here. And tidying up is also much more fun.
DIY Ideas
Storing them in a wooden box is also a great idea. On the one hand, you can assemble a wooden box yourself according to your needs, but on the other hand, there are also a variety of models available for purchase that make it even easier to create new storage space. We recommend decorating the boxes with blackboard paint so that the children can also use them for painting.
design a chest of drawers
You can quickly and easily transform a simple shelf into a dresser with drawers by using storage boxes in the children's room. These can be made of plastic, wood or, as here, textile. This also gives you the opportunity to add color with the idea of storing toys.
Funny shelves
A few shelves make every room much cozier. This also applies to the children's room. However, the shelves there do not have to have the classic board shape. How about skateboard shelves like this? They are suitable for storage, with the non-slip surface offering the toy figures a secure footing.
Drawers for bed
Here you can see another idea for under bed storage. If there are several children living in the room, it can be an advantage to label each drawer with a name so that disputes do not arise. Add wheels to the drawers to make it easy for children to get them out. A simple piece of rope can serve as a handle for pulling.
Buckets on shelves
You can see once again that buckets are a practical thing with this variant for storing toys. Also use colored buckets to provide variety on the shelf. It's also practical to use a separate bucket for each type of toy so that your child doesn't lose track and can quickly find the toy they want.
The plastic box
The new storage space does not have to be standard either. We find the way these boxes are attached to the wall for storage very funny and perfect for the children's room. Depending on the direction, the boxes serve either as a shelf or a box. The quirky look appears playful and varied.
Hanging basket
Hanging storage ideas are very space-saving. Since children are still small, these variants should hang sufficiently low and be easy to reach. If the storage space is intended for plush toys, a cage design is very practical through which children can easily insert and pull out the stuffed animals.
Bags for the door
Such pocket systems can be purchased ready-made and are simply hung on the door. They are not only suitable for storing toys such as plush toys. Pens and other painting materials, game pieces and other things can also be stored in it. The baskets on the side are also practical and can be hung on the wall using hooks.
Storage in the living room
There are often a lot of toys scattered around the living room. So that they don't always have to be transported from one room to another, you can also come up with something to store them in the living room. Toy boxes, for example, can hold small toys and then store them in a basket where they won't bother anyone.
Homemade box
You can create this wooden model from a wine box. The box is first painted in any color. Then distribute pipes inside to create an original shelf. Use PVC or plain cardboard and it is best to display plush toys. Another variant is to build a shelf using additional boards.
Idea for the garage
But there are not only enough toys in the house. Toys that are used in the garden should not also take up valuable storage space indoors. Tennis rackets, skipping ropes, balls or tools for the sandpit can also be stored in the garage in this neat way. For the toy storage idea, use simple panels like those offered for Dad's tools.
