Out of so many rooms in the house, if there is one room that remains the messiest, it is your kid's bedroom. It is a heap of books, toys, clothes, crafts and whatnot. Moreover, with a busy schedule, it's gets challenging to find time to clean it every morning.

And the fun fact, no matter how many times you organise their room, it again becomes what it was before the cleanup- 'a colossal mess!' And that's where all hopes are lost.

So, what should you do to de-clutter your child's room such that it doesn’t look like a mess? Well, you will be thrilled to know that we have some fantastic ideas to help you with this.

So, it’s time to try these hacks and give a check to that messy room. So, without any further ado, here we begin.

1. Get rid of what is not required anymore

First things first, start picking the things which you think are no more needed in the room, especially the broken toys. But before you start throwing away those things, let us warn you: 'do not forget to take your child's consent.' After you have asked them, throw away any broken toys, unwearable clothes, school papers, and whatever they don't want to keep. If they do not consent, talk them through and make them understand the value of things.

This way, you will automatically find space in the room to easily accommodate the rest of the stuff. Also, it's not necessary to trash out everything. The better option is to donate things to the ones in need.

2. Use Clothing Storage Bags for Seasonal Items

After you have removed all the unnecessary items, its time to collect and arrange the essential ones accordingly and stack them. For instance, in terms of clothing, separate the summer and winter clothes. Pack the woollens in crates or boxes and store them securely in Self Storage Hobart.

3. Use Wardrobe Organisers

Stacking the clothes and other things separately will give you an idea about how much space you need to stock everything. Clean up all the drawers and cupboards to plan which stuff will go where. Besides, make use of wardrobe organisers to segment items like towels, handkerchiefs and socks away from other clothes.

Use hangers for clothes which wear occasionally and fold the ones they wear on an everyday basis. Moreover, make sure to keep a separate space for your kids' duvets, comforters, bedsheets, and tiny pillowcases.

4. Use Wall Shelves to Keep Essentials Handy

Wall shelves not only give you a storage space but also enhance the look of the room. Moreover, smaller rooms can significantly benefit from large shelving units. Dedicate a whole wall for floating shelves and arrange the everyday essentials in the order of their requirements. You can make a mini-library for the kids on one shelf and place their toys on the other one or perhaps, store toiletries. Besides, it’s even better if you group the items and then arrange them.

5. Underbed Storage

You might not be aware that you have a lot of hidden storage available in the room. Ever imagined how you can utilise the space under your bed to store items? Under-bed boxes or drawers are the best ways to de-clutter a room. These can be used to organise footwear or kids' outdoor games equipment. Moreover, it makes the room look visually appealing. Besides, you also have the option of over-the-door storage. No doubt, you will make the room look like heaven once you are finished with the cleaning.

6. Discover Smart Storage Ideas

Of course, you cannot throw away everything that the kids don't use. Their first attempt to draw or write, their old bicycle helmet, and some other things that have memories attached to them need to be preserved. Therefore, such things which are neither required in the room nor can be thrown or given away can find a new place. It will become even easier if you use ottomans, storage bean bags, and cube storage for these items.

If you lack space to store these things, try a reputable Tasmanian Self Storage provider to secure your memory boxes. We also have some additional tips for storing fragile items safely.

7. Hanging Storage Helps Keep the Mess out of Sight

Hanging baskets, wall pockets, wall hangers, etc., are a great idea to de-clutter kids’ bedrooms while at the same time decorating it. Especially if it is a small room, this type of storage is going to be miraculous. You can use the storage baskets to stock their toys, outdoor games, and other essential things.

Besides, installing pegboards too works excellent to hang clothes, belts, bags, hats, etc. Moreover, the kids will not have to look for their items in drawers and closets and mess up the wardrobe for little things.

8. Keep the Study Desk Organised

The best way to organise desk is by aligning the books and textbooks in order of their size. Besides, make sure to keep storybooks and craft books in a different row, or the academic ones in the other. Moreover, decorate the corner with paintings or images they like and get inspired from. This unique arrangement will enhance their recreational side as they will spend more time reading and indulging in creative activities. Also, they will know where they pick the things from and where they should go back after use.

9. Buy multi-use furniture

If you think the bedroom needs a total furniture replacement, go for the multi-use furniture. These are preferred by all parents as it reduces the number of furniture pieces in the bedroom. For instance, bunk beds are a great solution to store items that aren’t required every day. As a result, it offers more room for the kids to play and even welcome their friends. Most importantly, it helps in keeping the clutter at bay and surroundings tidy.

10. Use Spare Tubs and Buckets for Toys

Most of the mess in a kid’s room is created because of the toys, and seldom you too might have slipped on any one of them. Therefore, a smart idea to store toys is by using spare buckets and tubs. In fact, these can go under the bed, leaving space to walk around in the room. Besides, try to group the toys in categories. For instance, indoor games can go in one, and outdoor sports equipment can go into another. You can also separate board games like chess, spellers from legos or toy animals if you wish.

Winding-up

These ideas will prove extremely beneficial once you make up your mind to organise your children's room. Also, ask your kids to help you with de-cluttering and arrange their room. This way, they will realise how hard it is to clear up the mess.

Besides, they will get a better understanding of what they want and what is not important. Train them to keep the things back in their place after using them. Also, set rewards to encourage them to keep their room clean every time.
