Is it really possible to keep your kid’s room clutter-free when they have 238 pieces of toys and they just seem to be everywhere all the time? Staying organised might seem difficult after play-time, but with a bit of pre-planning and organising, you can make clean up a lot easier and encourage your kid to help you stay organised! Here are 8 toy storage ideas on how to store toys in the living room or playroom, without disrupting the stylish flow of your apartment. 

1. Use Soft Bins And Toy Bags To Store Toys

Let’s start off with the easiest way to keep toys tucked away. Fabric bins and toy bags are great for tucking toys away, especially when you’re in a rush to clean up before guests arrive. You can organise them by having one bin dedicated to soft plush toys, another one for block toys, and one for train sets.

2. Consider Shelves With Cubbies 

Go for shelving units where you can add cubbies, so you have a place to keep things hidden where no one can see them. For easier access, you can place cubbies on the lower shelves for books and toys your kid uses regularly. Go for small boxes that are stackable to store smaller toys and accessories.

3. Display Keepsakes On Floating Shelves 

The key to keeping your little one’s play space beautiful yet functional? It’s all in the little things, such as placing floating shelves on the wall. To make the room feel truly lived-in and with character, you can place special keepsakes, books and incorporate things that reflect your kid’s interests on the shelves.

4. Dedicate Each Shelf To A Specific Category

Keep your toy shelves organised by dedicating each shelf to specific items. For top shelf, go for board games, second shelf for books and bottom shelf for toys that your kid always plays with. You can also organise toys and books according to colour if that’s your thing!

5. Don’t Shy Away From Under Bed Storage Solution

If there’s space under the bed, make the most of it by adding storage boxes or suitcases underneath. You can place toys that are not used as often or no longer in favour there without leaving clutters everywhere.

6. Invest In Furniture With Storage Function

Investing in furniture that comes with storage space can go a long way. Consider multi-functional furniture pieces with hidden storage space while acting as a bench at the same time. 

7. Have A Dedicated Book Corner

If you live in a small space and don’t have much room for big bookshelves, consider going for a plate rack where you can display all the beautiful book covers.You can also go for a non-conventional bookshelf with compartments that allow you to store things without having them in plain sight.

8. Repurpose Toys For Storage

If your kid doesn’t play with his toys anymore, consider repurposing them instead of throwing them out. Wagons and push pull toys are great for storing books and stuffed animals, and they’d still look great in the corner of your little one’s playroom or bedroom. For no-longer-used play kitchens and doll houses, you can fill the shelves and cabinets with toys or decorations.
