Every parent wants the absolute best for their children, and in the early years of life that often means showering them with lots of toys! Toys can be a valuable tool in helping babies’ and kids’ brains develop, keeping them happy and thriving, and allowing a moment of peace for Mum and Dad. (Well...depending on the toy). 

But as fun and necessary as toys are for our kiddos, they can be absolutely maddening for parents when they are strewn across the floor. That is why establishing easy-to-use and visually attractive toy storage systems can be a fantastic way to keep the peace in the playroom or baby room. Here are some of our favourite toy storage ideas for keeping your space clutter-free (or as close to clutter free as a parent can hope for!).

...and shelving oh my! A great way to keep tiny hands involved in the picking up of toys is to make their storage spaces visually appealing. This easy-access open shelving unit employs an array of colours and other stimula to remind the kiddos that cleanup can be fun, too. Try a variety of bins and toy storage baskets to help.

The trick to using clear bins for toy storage is you cannot just toss the mess in if you want them to look good. However, organising by colour or kind solves that problem easily. The clear toy storage bins are perfect for kids’ toys because it makes it easier for them to get to the items they want to play with on a given day, rather than ransacking the entire playroom looking for that one toy.

'Bagging it' is a great way to cut down on clutter! Instead of hanging onto all those clunky boxes that take up tons of space, house all the pieces of each individual game or puzzle together in one pliable toy storage spot like a muslin or plastic baggie.

A big part of setting up a smart toy storage system is that you want the kids to be able to help you clean up… and eventually, handle that chore pretty much on their own! These low cubes with pull-out toy storage bins are just right for a toddler, and the stepping stool makes it easy for them to reach objects that are placed up higher.

It works in grownup spaces, and can absolutely help for the kids. Even if your little ones are not reading yet, labeling everything helps caregivers put toys back in their correct spaces. You can also use colour or picture labels so the tiniest helpers can see blue things go in this bin, cars over here, and so on.

'Let me take a shelfie!' is what you will be thinking if you take the lead from this blogger and create a bright, enticing storage space in the kids’ bedrooms or playroom. Even if every single item does not have a home, per se, they can work together to become more than storage but actual decor, if you keep it minimal and bright.

Got a coat or guest room closet that is lacking a practical use? Give it one! Dress-up on hanging rods, games on shelves, bits in drawers… then close the doors!

Maximise a small space by combining storage for grownups and kids. The top half of this bookcase-meets-toy-bin is a great place to front-face your favourite coffee table, design, or research books; magazines; and day planners. The bottom door and shelving spaces keep toys, games, and more up and off the floor. It is a great concept to consider for the living room or any other shared space.
