Learn How to Organize Your Child's Closet
Many parents have experienced opening their child’s closet and experiencing a sudden avalanche. Children’s closets can be especially tricky to keep clean because they often contain more than just clothes – they hold toys and games as well. Children also struggle to use many of their closet features, being too short or not dexterous enough just yet. That puts the burden on parents to keep the closet clean and organized. A custom closet company explains what parents need to know about keeping their child’s closet clean and organized.
Use Child-Friendly Closet Organizers
One thing that parents can do is put child-friendly closet organizers in place. These help children use their closets in a meaningful way. They can’t hang clothes and put things away if the shelves and rods are high above their heads, but adjustable shelves and rods can be set at a height that allows children to use their closet space. Drawers that they can easily open and close are another great option that allows children to get out their clothes or put them away. Kids' closets are designed to be child-friendly, and that makes it easier on both kids and parents.
Corral Toys in the Closet System
Storing toys in the closet will increase the chances of messiness in the closet system, but there are steps a parent can take to corral the toys and limit messiness. Keeping the toys separated can help – putting dolls in one bin, blocks in another, stuffed animals in a third, and so on. Instead of emptying a whole toy chest to find what they’re looking for, a child can go straight to the box that has the items they want. Parents should also use see-through bins and labels so children know what’s in each container. Labels can be color-coded for children too young to read.
Make Use of the Closet Space on the Door and Floor
The reason most closets become disorganized is that the closet space isn’t used as well as it could be. Wasted closet space that could be used for storage is often found on the door and floor of the closet. A hanging organizer can be put over the closet door and the pockets can be used to store small items that would otherwise wind up underfoot. Instead of allowing shoes to pile up on the closet floor, shoe organizers can be placed on the floor instead, keeping the shoes off the floor. The closet floor can also hold small cabinets or dressers that help organize more of a child’s things.
