Storing toys is always a big concern for parents. And the problem is not even where and how to store them, but how to harmoniously place a myriad of toys on the expanses of a modest children's room.
Someone buys ready-made storage systems for children's things, and someone builds racks and cabinets on their own. Which way to go is a purely personal matter. Our ideas will allow you not only to remember those variants of the organization of the children's room, which are already almost forgotten, but also to find new ideas that you will certainly want to realize. In this review, "The House of Dreams" will tell you how to rationally organize the area of a room for children and place all children's things in it, without stealing precious meters.
And we will begin, perhaps, with those ideas for storing toys and other children's things that all parents know, but do not always use.
10 simple ideas for storing toys
- Baby bed with drawers - it is unforgivable to leave empty space under the bed, so if there is a choice between an ordinary sleeper and a bed with boxes, be sure to choose the latter. In the boxes we will store rarely used toys and those that the child has already "outgrown".
- Bed-loft is a multifunctional complex combining a sleeping place, work area and a cabinet that can be used forstorage of toys in the children's room, as well as wooden steps with hinged lids or boxes leading to the "second floor".Having such a complex in a nursery, the question of where to store toys disappears by itself.
- A work table with toy shelves is an original idea for preschoolers and children of primary school age, consisting of a set of books, surrounded by high open shelves for storing toys and books.
- Chest under the bed or anywhere in the nursery - if you are not lucky with a functional bed, it does not matter. Use an old toy chest. Such a repository the boy probably uses for a pirate ship or a treasure map, and the girl there will keep toy jewelry in a casket, girl's make-up and clothes for dolls.
- A soft ottoman with a reclining seat - there are not many places inside the puff, but a wooden box will happily give shelter to children's books, coloring books, puzzles or small designers.
- Wooden boxes under the children's table - the place under the table for creativity almost always remains empty. Place under it two small boxes, where the kid can lay down his toys. For convenience use each box with two pairs of wheels.
- Cabinet-wardrobe - some parents do not want to put in this children's room this multifunctional furniture for storing toys, clothes and shoes, and in vain! After all, a practical storage system will make life easier for parents several times and solve the problem of where and how to store children's toys. Upper shelves, to which the child does not reach, take away for storage of rarely used household items, and on the lower ones the baby himself will lay out soft toys, cars, dolls and a designer on separate boxes.
- Open racks - some parents do not use this kind of furniture in the nursery because of the openness. Those.it turns out that all the so-called children's "trash" will always be in sight, while it always wants to be hidden. Yes, and crumbling toys( for example, the elements of the designer) will not lie on the shelf, but necessarily fall to the floor. But it does not matter, the problem is solved simply. In open shelves you need to put boxes or wicker baskets with handles, and in them to lay down toys. These boxes, baskets or plastic containers for storing toys can be bought in the store or made with your own hands, pasting an ordinary cardboard box with dense colored paper or wallpaper and attaching a pen. Here we connect fantasy and arrange baskets and boxes not in each section, but in a checkerboard order, i.e.through one. On the remaining open sections we place books, dolls and typewriters. This way of arrangement is very refreshing to the interior, especially if the boxes have different colors.
- Baskets on the cupboard - if the wardrobe in the nursery is small,and on top there is still an unused space, then put two or three small boxes or wicker baskets there, and in them lay down soft toys, old dolls or a boring railway. These baskets will easily turn into the main element of the interior, if you beautifully decorate them, for example, make a stencil or paste bright applications.
- Pockets on the wall made of fabric or dense polyethylene - they can be used to store flat objects, especially this design will fit into the zone for creativity. Here you can not only lay down scissors and glue, but also use a device for sorting soldiers and pups. The advantage of this idea is that pockets can be sewn by hand with any size of cells, having previously agreed with the child what he is going to store in them. Also in waterproof hanging pockets you can store toys for bathing in the bathroom.
5 original ideas for storing toys
And now we will consider unusual ideas for placing children's accessories in the room, and also try to facilitatechild the process of assembling and sorting toys.
- High racks with a step - a successful acquisition for kids. In them, the lower shelf is slightly pushed forward so that the child can climb on it and get the contents of the upper shelves. The main condition is the stability and reliable attachment of such a cellular storage system of toys to the wall, so that the child by his actions could not overturn it on himself.
- Baskets on the wall - a place for storing toys can be arranged even there. To do this, you only need to attach metal or plastic baskets to the wall. Fold in them can be any not too small items, from books, ending with a talking doll or a car on the radio. Here the main thing is to place them within the reach of the child, i. E.closer to the floor. Wall-mounted baskets for toys photo
- Plastic buckets in the form of honeycombs - buckets together with each other or any other containers in the form of bee honeycombs can easily cope with the task of storing toys. However, this idea is suitable only for large children's rooms, where there is free space.
- A tall cabinet with pipes for soft toys - with teddy bears and bunnies there are always a lot of problems: from the shelves they fall, besides their number is always more than the available space for storing fur animals. The problem is solved by a high cabinet-shelf with two metal or plastic pipes fixed vertically. They do not allow soft toys to fall, and pushing under the tube of bears will be much more than if they just lay on an open shelf. This idea of storage can be realized by buying or making something with your own hands in the form of a zoo cell.
- Magnetic rails for toy cars are a great way to keep the right cars at hand. This method will be effective only if the machine has a bottom made of metal.
Here in such simple ways we propose to organize the storage of toys for your child. Examine the children's room, for sure there is room for it in one more functional shelving or at least a wicker basket. For babies, you must get bright bags for toys, and when the place is over, then throw rattles, balls and bowls in bulk into the children's tent.
