Kids are identical with toys. Most parents also like to buy toys for their children or learning kits that help their cognitive growth. However, piling up toys can make children's rooms messy, especially if there is no specific place to store them. Planning children rooms with adequate storage is essential not only for the sake of a more organized room, but also to teach children the responsibility to organize their own room. Here are some tips on planning children room’s storage.

Utilize the space under the bed

If your children room is small and there is not enough storage space for toys, it is not necessary to buy a cupboard. A simple way to tidy up a child's toys can also be done by using moveable containers that fit under the bed or could simply be put in one of the corners.

Open compartment is a better choice

When glass breaks, whether tempered or not, the broken pieces are harmful to children. Thus, it is safer to avoid using glass elements for a toy storage. Sharp corners on furniture are also dangerous as children are usually careless. It is better to choose furniture with soft corners. There are also safety corner guards that you can use to cover the corners to reduce the sharpness.

Create storage that is accessible to children

Shelves or storages that are within children reach are essential. Besides allowing children to easily access their toys, this is also to make sure that children do not need to climb to reach these things and risking themselves to fall over.
