You can organize the living space in the nursery without any special material costs with the help of these tips. The main advantage of today's selection is simplicity and economy, and the level of "load" does not matter - you can distribute countless collections of toy cars, Barbie dolls, children's books and soft toys using original and simple solutions.
1. Transparent toy bags
A simple and fun way to store toys! Even the smallest child will be able to open the bag, tightened with a rope, and the transparent walls will help you choose your favorite toy and not waste time looking for it. To make, you will need fabric, durable vinyl, string for tightening and sewing accessories (in the film you will have to make holes for the thread in advance with a large needle or awl).
2. Lego container
With this idea, you can save yourself from unexpected "collisions" with the designer scattered on the floor by distributing it by color into the right boxes.
3. "Parking hive"
Does your little one have nowhere to park his impressive collection of toy cars? Offer him this non-standard option - a multi-tiered structure made of ... cardboard bobbins from toilet paper! No additional costs - just connect the bobbins with glue. With such a "parking" your child will be delighted with the process of cleaning his room. Tip: decorated with ribbons and shiny elements, this design can also be made for a girl - you can store hairpins, bows, stationery and accessories for dolls in it.
4. Bedside drawer
It is convenient and practical to store toys under the bed, as they are easy to get and hide at any time. It is enough to find a couple of unnecessary old drawers from a table, cabinet or chest of drawers and attach wheels to them. Use your imagination and turn containers into real works of art with the help of paints and decorative materials. For soft toys, fabric boxes can be used.
5. Bookshelves
If your child is not fond of reading, but there is a problem with the arrangement of even a small number of books, use our advice. Now in almost all hardware stores you can find shelves for spices. You don’t even have to conjure over them - by attaching them to a wall or door, you will get original shelves where you can place a small book collection.
6. Mini workshop
A small artist should have his own mini-workshop. Coffee and tea cans are perfect for this purpose (there are not so many metal ones nowadays, so plastic ones will do). Pencils, crayons, jars of gouache and tubes of oil paint will fit perfectly even on the smallest table. Also, this option is suitable for storing stickers, badges, glass balls, clothes for dolls and any little things that are dear to your child's heart. You can decorate the jars according to your own taste with pictures or inscriptions.
7. Wardrobe for a girl
Every princess dreams of a luxurious wardrobe for her outfits! Make your little Rapunzel's dream come true - an old chest of drawers is perfect for this purpose. All dresses and accessories will be in perfect order and your beauty will be able to admire them every day. The inner walls of the closet, upholstered in foam rubber and floral print fabric, will go well with pastel shades of pink and lilac.
8. Home zoo
Instead of tedious laying out soft toys on the bed and clogging empty shelves in the closet with them, you can put them in a makeshift cage. For this purpose, a metal basket (like those with which you walk around the supermarket) is best suited. Baskets of different sizes are sold in large construction and household supermarkets. You can diversify the appearance by using paint for metal surfaces (it will be most convenient to spray paint from a spray can).
9. Plastic containers and dressers
Teddy bears, cars and puzzles will fit comfortably in plastic containers.
10. Peek-a-boo pouches
If you are fond of tailoring and do not know where to put the leftover fabrics, use our idea. Cute and bright "peek-a-boo" bags will decorate the children's room and help to put things in order. Their feature is a combination of bright textiles with an insert made of a transparent film (vinyl or polyethylene), which makes it possible to use them as original organizers. The bags are perfect for storing building blocks, rubber dinosaurs, robots and other kinds of small toys.
11. Lunch boxes
Old plastic school lunch boxes are perfect for storing small stationery, maps, badges, and more. If your daughter is into handmade jewelry, this is a great way to organize her workspace by keeping all the necessary tools and supplies close at hand. Not sure where to put your old colored pencils? Collect them in several boxes and save the child from the mess on the desk.
12. Board games
Another unexpected idea is to decorate board games in the form of wall panels. In this way, you solve two problems: firstly, you eliminate the mess in the closet, and you also create unusual design solutions for the children's room. The cardboard base of the board game is inserted into a glazed frame of a suitable size and closed with a back wall with clips (so that the base can be easily removed). Bags with small parts (chips, cards, figurines) can be stored separately in bags (fixed on the back wall of the frame).
13. Cars on magnets
Magnetic strips do a great job of fixing toy cars, which are mostly made of metal. All you have to do is attach a few strips to the wall and place the toys on them (you can use the magnetic knife holder). What a great way to decorate a kid's room!
14. Mini Library
The word "library" is often associated with tall shelving and the effort that goes into making those shelving. A minimum of time and costs - and you can please your children with a mini-library. You can place shelves (made of thin wooden planks) both in the nursery and occupy any free wall in the house. For those who have problems with loose walls, there is an interesting solution: to place a mini-library on the door.
15. Bathroom containers
Instead of constantly moving toys in and out of the bathroom, take care to install small containers directly in the bathroom - for this, use the shower curtain rod attached at the base of the bath. Containers are fixed on it with hooks. Extremely economical and convenient option!
16. Organizer for Barbie dolls
The popular clear plastic organizers are great for storing dolls along with everything from shoes, accessories, clothes, and even pets. Hulk, Captain America, Spiderman and other company will also be placed in special pockets on the door.
17. Lego table
In order to make such a table, you will need a solid base for the tabletop, which must be attached to two plastic racks (low, 2-3 tiers) with drawers. The designer will be stored in the drawers of the table, and the child will be able to create designs of any complexity without scattering the elements around the room.
18. Doll wardrobe
Well, how can your daughter's favorite appear a second time in the same outfit? Excluded! And to make it easier for her to choose a dress or costume, sort the dolls' clothes into clear plastic zip-lock envelopes. Don't forget to sign each envelope!
19. Shelf rack
Recently, the so-called “designer” shelving racks have been especially popular among designers (the design involves the use of a symmetrical structure with square-shaped elements, i.e. the number of vertical and horizontal shelves should be the same). Such a simple and uncomplicated-looking wooden "cube" can be used in any interior - in this case, a standard form, not burdened with details, can "play out" solely due to the content.
20. Dollhouse Library
If the daughter has lost interest in dolls, the dollhouse can be used in a new way - the base of the house can become a creative bookcase or a place to store toys.
21. Tiered bucket container
Ordinary plastic buckets, connected in several places, form an unusual and quite capacious multi-tiered container. This option is suitable for placement in the garage or in the garden. For fastening, it is enough to connect the buckets with wire or plastic clamps, having made small holes in advance in the upper part.
22. Perforated plate
Perforated wood or plasterboard boards can turn your home into the most practical and comfortable place on earth. You can use such a plate as an information board or memo board, as well as a base for attaching various containers (plastic boxes, textile bags and flat polyethylene organizers) with stationery and small things. Another plus is that such a plate can be fixed on any free vertical surface.
23. Masking screen
Shelves and shelves filled with toys and books don't seem tidy enough to you? Attach a tension rod or narrow curtain rod to the top of the shelving unit and choose a heavy fabric curtain that matches the interior. Now you can be sure that even the slightest mess will not make you blush in front of the guests.
24. Storage bags
Experienced embroiderers will probably have a few hoops that they have not used for a long time. Find a great use for them - the hoop will securely fix the textile cover-base of the container and will make it possible to fix it on almost any surface. You can safely use these bags for storing various small things.
25. Stoves-benches
The corner element of the furniture modular system in the living room can serve as a container for storing any things, incl. and toys. The structured cabinet will allow you to use the space under the seating surface to the maximum - the compartments can store books, equipment, drawers with clothes and linens ... it all depends on what you need to place. An excellent solution is to use rag baskets for storage, covered with the same fabric from which the pillow cases or cover are sewn.
26. Rag baskets
If you have a set of old faded bedding - do not rush to get rid of it. Use home textiles to decorate unnecessary plywood or plastic boxes. Such containers will not need additional structural stabilization, as they are quite stable and can be placed anywhere, and bright colors will help turn the boring and painful process of cleaning the house into a pleasant pastime.
27. Textile containers
Why buy fairly expensive textile containers in specialized stores when you can make them yourself? Yes, and the assortment often leaves much to be desired - and you fill your closet with comfortable drawers that match in color and texture exactly to your interior. For stability, it is better to use a wire frame or cardboard inserts. They can also be hung on the wall using kitchen railing.
28. Lego box
Great gift for a Lego fan! How bright and interesting the process of putting the nursery in order with such a container will become - all the toys will be in place. Multilayer plywood is suitable for making the box, and the lid can be made using a hole saw and wooden cylinders (to create an original texture, you can use any cylindrical objects, attaching them with wood glue or mechanical fixation). Don't forget to decorate the container in a bright color together with the young artist.
There are also ready-made models for sale.
29. Wall baskets
These baskets are not hard to find in hardware stores or among garden supplies. Being attached to the wall, they will help not only to put things in order in the room, but also serve as an original element of the interior.
30. Multifunctional shelves
For the most creative! An old plastic gutter will still serve your home! By attaching several compartments to the wall, you can create your own mini-library by arranging children's books, or use shelves to store soft toys. The main advantage is low cost and simplicity.
We hope that these tips and ideas will help you make your children's room brighter, more interesting and give you the opportunity to use all the available square meters wisely.
31. Baskets on the ceiling
Yes, not everyone can organize the storage of toys in this way, but only your child will definitely have such a nursery. In this room, cleaning up the toys is a breeze and an interesting game in itself.
32. Carpet bag
An original idea for a children's room. Such bags can be sewn with your own hands and the problem with scattered toys will be solved by itself.
