Declutter – Kids Bedroom

Kids bedrooms can easily accumulate so much ‘stuff’, items they bring home from school, all their toys, books, pieces of paper or clothes, today we are going to do a general declutter of their room.

Donate or store away for hand me downs the following from the kids rooms:

• Small clothes
• Shoes that are too small
• Toys they have outgrown
• Books they have outgrown

Throw out:

• Rubbish
• Paper clutter
• Broken toys

I store out of season and hand me down clothes in the tops of the kids wardrobes.

My eldest keeps some of her baby toys in a box in the top of her cupboard

Organise – Kids Bedrooms

My kids keep their shared toys in their toy room and their own toys in their bedrooms.  Toys are kept in their wardrobes hidden behind doors.  Except for Mr 11’s Lego, his lego has pride of place in his bedroom, sorted and displayed for him to easily play with.

See here how he displays his lego and read here for more lego storage ideas

 The one area in Miss Tweens bedroom to keep tidy is her desk, read further to see how I tweenified her bedroom.  I also have a dislike for desks in bedrooms.

The one area that I love in my youngest daughters bedroom is the under bed storage, she has two under bed plastic boxes with lids from ikea.

and I love these dots on her wall, available online here, they have really brightened her room.

Tip:  As much as I would love to straighten the kids beds after they have made them, I resist because a) They have put in the effort, for that I am grateful, and b) I don’t have time.
