Do you live in the city? Then the children's room is often not the most spacious. Fortunately, this is not an insurmountable problem, because there are simple solutions to optimize the available space. Curious? Find out here how to best organize a small child's room.

1. Use the height of the room wisely

One of the most effective ways to save space is to use the height of the room. Wall shelves, tall bookcases or wall-mounted storage boxes offer ideal solutions for storing things without taking up floor space. Make sure these shelves are sturdy and, if possible, placed above the play area to ensure the safety of children.

2. Opt for multifunctional furniture


Multifunctional furniture saves a lot of space while providing practical storage options. Think of a bed with drawers underneath for clothes or bed linens, or a bench that doubles as a storage chest. These pieces of furniture with built-in storage are perfect for storing seasonal clothes, spare sheets or less-used toys.

3. Storage boxes are key


A simple and affordable solution to keep things organized is to use storage boxes. They can be slid under the bed, placed in a closet, or placed on a shelf. Sort things into different boxes and label them with their contents, such as “books,” “craft supplies,” or “dolls.” This makes it easy for your child to find what they’re looking for and keeps the room tidy without items lying around.

4. Integrate storage into the play area


By creating a play area with sufficient storage, you give your children a fixed space to play and store their things. For example, a small table with a drawer or a piece of furniture next to it allows them to store toys after use. This structured area helps to instill good storage habits and prevents the whole house from being invaded by toys. toys.

5. Hang organizers on the door


A door can be transformed into additional storage space if you hang an organizer on it. There are special models with several compartments for storing small items such as stuffed animals, books or drawing materials. This frees up floor space while using space that would otherwise remain unused.
