One of the easiest ways to create simple and smart storage is to invest in some cheap tubs, buckets or boxes which are easy for the kids to pull out and slide away later on. By looking outside of the traditional children's shops, you can save pounds. For instance, gardening wholesalers often have colourful flexi tubs available for a couple of pounds, which are ideal for dead-heading, but even better for kids storage. | |
| By giving the kids an easily recognisable way to sort their toys, according to the colour, shape or size of the tub, you will find tidy up time happens so much more quickly and easily. Be prepared for the tubs to be regularly up-ended though, as children often forget what they have and want to inspect all the toys in the tub at playtime! | ||
| In this age of sustainability, you might want to consider recycling unwanted furniture rather than investing in new and old storage lockers from schools or factories can often serve as fantastic, functional and interesting storage for a range of items. A can of spray paint and some creative thinking can easily turn one of these unwanted items into a useful and adaptable space for books, magazines and other stroage solutions for children, which will last forever and cost a lot less than a similarly sized cupboard. | ![]() |

If your child loves books, then its worth considering a fabric or wooden child-friendly bookcase in place of a traditionally shaped one. These bookcases allow books to be stored in slings, making it easy for children to see and select their favourite book, without pulling everything off the bookcase and creating a book mountain at story time. | |
| In adult rooms such as the lounge or dining area, where children's toys will inevitably migrate, it can be worth investing in a smart piece of furniture which is easy to pack toys away in. Toy boxes, chests and children's storage benches can maintain the contemporary and grown up feel of your room whilst allowing toys to be quickly tidied away if you have unexpected visitors. | ||
| Canvas bags or tubs can be a great way to keep toys together without the weight of a plastic or wooden box to move around. The subtle nature of the bag means it needn't head straight back to the kiddie's room following playtime, but it will do a great job of concealing those vividly coloured items to avoid spoiling the neutrality of your living areas. | ![]() |

Finally, don't become obsessed with hiding your children's toys away. Their favourite teddies, figurines and oddities are their treasured possessions and should be proudly displayed as we would display our favourite ornament or vase. Open and closed kids storage solutions like cube systems can be a great choice, as they allow the children's bits and pieces to be closed away in one place, whilst their prized items can be proudly displayed in the open spaces. |
