Toys

In a dream world, your children’s toys would be neatly packed away in a tidy and clean space they can relax and play in. The reality often is that a room gets consumed by too many toys with nowhere to put them.

To combat the clutter, try kid’s storage cubes as a great place to keep toys and other belongings neatly out of sight. Alternatively, desk cubby holes are also a great place to hide away all those knick-knacks and treasures that mean too much to throw away.

 

Clothing

As children grow older, keeping on top of their wardrobe can be no mean feat. Clothes need to be thrown away or donated to charity every 6-12months in order to keep an organised system and save time looking for the right fitting clothes.

 

Creating an orderly system in which you go through old clothes with space for new ones can make life a lot easier. Use kids tall wardrobes to store clothing with different shelving and levels, to maintain a tidy and clutter free space.

Arts & Crafts

Being creative and letting your imagination run free is one of the best things about being a child. Having an arts and crafts area in your home can frequently be the perfect place to help fuel your child’s creativity, but does often come with a mess and requires lots of upkeep.

To keep your house clean and tidy, encourage your child to clear up their belongings by making it part of a game. Label storage boxes with numbers or set a stopwatch to see who can tidy up the quickest. Midsleepers provide a great space for activities and come with an array of storage options to tidy your child’s crafty corner.

 

Keepsakes

As a child you experience many wonderful memories growing up, therefore making it important to cherish and remember these for later in life. A keepsake box can be the perfect place to store mementos and belongings with meaning.

Help your child decorate a simple white box and store their treasures inside. Tuck this away in one of their bedside cabinets where they can easily add to their collection and take it out to look at time and time again.
