How to organize kids playroom and defeat clutter

When you are at home with your children, do you find that they don’t know how to organize their toy room after playing with toys, which makes the playroom very messy? So how should we organize our children’s playroom and solve the problem of messy toys? Here are the tips for playroom toy storage and anti-clutter for different types of toys.


Playroom organization ideas


Classification and storage

The first step in cleaning up the children's playroom is to comprehensively classify and screen the toys and items. We can prepare red, yellow and green baskets for classification. We can put the damaged toys that cannot be repaired, the loose building blocks, and the items with safety hazards into the red basket, and put the seasonal toys and toys to be upgraded, such as low-age building blocks, which can be left for the second baby into the yellow basket. Finally, put the green basket into the toys that the children have played recently, are not damaged, and are in line with their current interests.

 

Children participate in sorting

We can guide them to participate in the process of storage and abandonment through fun games, such as letting children play doll house games, marking the dolls with stars, and actively eliminating toys with fewer stars to cultivate children's sense of choice. And agree with the children on the number limit of each type of toys. If the number exceeds, the old models need to be eliminated to avoid excessive accumulation.

 


Reasonable division of areas

Let the children place the storage area next to the activity area to form a smooth closed loop of "take - play - return". For example, set a low cabinet at the edge of the floor mat in the activity area, so that children can directly take and put toys while sitting on the ground, reducing the situation of random discarding of items.

 


Setting up a playroom

First, we can make full use of the wall space and carry out layered storage. First, we can install perforated boards on the wall and match them with cartoon hooks to hang common items such as skipping ropes, painting aprons, and role-playing props; set up magnetic track racks to place magnetic pieces and letter stickers, so that children can play and hang them whenever they want. Secondly, we can install wall cabinets to store out-of-season toys, equipped with folding ladders, so that children can take and put them independently; finally, we can use wall grid racks to display children's paintings with clips, and match drawers below to store painting tools and other creative materials.


Storage ways to organize

We need to choose furniture with storage functions. For example, we need to choose a fabric sofa with drawers at the bottom to store plush toys, board game cards and other items. One thing can be used for two purposes and save space. In the middle of the game table, we can choose to design a lifting storage layer for easy storage and use. Finally, we can tilt the bookshelf 15° to make it easier for children to take and put picture books, and avoid pulling out books and messing up the whole row of books when placed upright.

 


Ideas for playroom storage

We need to design an intuitive and easy-to-understand labeling system to help children develop the habit of self-organization. For infants under 3 years old, use picture stickers to let children quickly identify the ownership of items through pictures. For children over 5 years old, use text plus picture labels and use color coding classification to facilitate children's memory and operation, and can also cultivate children's ability to read text.

 

Color matching design

We need to choose low-saturation colors as the main colors for children's playrooms, such as light blue and light green, to create a quiet and comfortable atmosphere, and use labels to distinguish the content to make the space more neat and unified. Appropriate lighting can not only create an atmosphere, but also reduce visual clutter. For example, we should set up clip-on eye protection desk lamps in children's reading corners, which can also change colors through intelligent control to add fun. The angle can also be adjusted according to the height of the child; track spotlights are installed in the display area to focus on the child's work and enhance the overall effect.

 

Safety first

When children are in the playroom, safety is of vital importance. We can wrap silicone anti-collision strips in the corners of the wall and soft-pack the wall to prevent children from bumping and getting injured when running and jumping. We also use wires disguised as interesting shapes such as small train tracks to ensure safety and add childishness.

 

The above is about how to organize children's toys. The playroom can become a growth space that children are willing to explore actively.
