Solutions for storing toys in small spaces

Hey there, parents! If you're living in a small space with kids, you know how challenging it can be to find storage solutions for all those toys and keep your house looking clean and organised at the same time. But fear not! There are plenty of creative ways to store your kids' belongings and make the most of your limited space. Here are some tips to help you get started.

  1. Bins and baskets
    Storage bins and baskets are a great way to keep toys organised and out of sight. They come in all shapes and sizes, and can be stacked or tucked away in closets or under beds. You can even use clear bins or baskets to make it easier for your kids to find what they're looking for.

  2. Hang it
    When you're short on floor space, look up! Wall-mounted shelves and organisers are a great way to make use of vertical space. You can use them to store books, toys, and other small items. And if you're feeling crafty, you can even make your own shelves out of repurposed materials.

  3. Multipurpose
    When every square inch counts, it's important to make the most of your furniture. Look for pieces that can serve multiple purposes, such as a storage ottoman or a coffee table with hidden storage compartments. And if you're really tight on space, consider a bunk bed with built-in storage.

  4. Rotate
    If you're really struggling with storage space, consider rotating your kids' toys. Keep a selection of toys out at a time, and then switch them out every few weeks. This not only helps keep your space less cluttered, but it can also keep your kids interested and engaged in their toys.

  5. Purge
    Finally, don't be afraid to purge regularly. As your kids grow and change, their interests and needs will too. Take some time every few months to go through their toys and games, and donate or sell anything they've outgrown or no longer use.

Yes, living in a small space with kids can be challenging, but with a little creativity and some smart storage solutions, you can make the most of your space. Remember to use storage bins and baskets, utilise wall space, use multipurpose furniture, rotate toys, and purge regularly. With these tips, you'll have a clutter-free home in no time. 

Happy organising!
