If you have kids or are expecting and want to organize their space the best way possible, you need to think not only about sleeping or diaper changing zone but also about playing, which is an important part of every child’s day. If your kids have a lot of toys and you are puzzling how to store them, you can go for some ideas that we are sharing with you today.
Storage Units
The most popular solution is to place the kids’ toys into a storage unit of any kind, anything that you have at hand. It can be an open storage unit like IKEA Kallax or a sideboard with drawers or a piece that inludes both. Open storage units look more lightweight and make all the toys visible. From one side, it makes the space look more cluttered, from the other side, toys become part of decor. Sideboards and cabinets will instantly declutter the space as all the mess will be inside. Still, nobody says that you should have mess, you can buy plastic cubbies or baskets and organize all the toys even labeling the baskets.
