Make The Most Of Your Kid’s Bedroom!
If you have a child you may know exactly what it is like trying to keep their room organized. Clothes, toys and other items have a tendency to pile up. If you know the secrets of staying organized, this will keep the clutter to a minimum and help you live your life with a lot less stress.
Even if you are just preparing a newborn nursery, getting organized is important to avoiding piles of clutter. Having enough storage space can help you do this. Baby items such as clothing, toys and changing accessories will need a place to call home. Not to mention all of the gifts you received that you will not be able to use for a few months!
Unlike shopping for round dining room sets, you will probably need to purchase furniture that is smaller in size! If you are working with a smaller kid’s room, think about how you can use the walls as storage space. Shelves can be a great place to display toys or books. This will lighten the load of stuff that may find its way on the floor.
If you do not have a lot of space to work with, think about getting dual purpose furniture. For instance, a twin loft bed can serve as a sleep area combined with a work station for homework. You can also use hooks under the bed for hanging light items such as hats or school bags.
There are, however, things you can not store on shelves and need a more permanent place, such as closet space. Drawers can be great for socks, shirts and undergarments. If you have an armoire with deep shelves, you can think about using boxes or clear containers to put away things you do not use often. Take note, that you can use this to store your own items as well, such as the king quilts you are not currently using.
The most practical organizational tip would be to use the closet space available to its maximum potential. There are a number of closet organizers available that can help you make use of all the space in the closet. Place things you use everyday at the front of the closet, where seldom used items can go toward the back.
Children grow quickly. So in order to avoid an unnecessary clutter, make sure to go through their closets often. Sifting through their clothes will help you keep only the things you use while getting rid of the rest. This will help keep the clutter to a minimum.
Things You May Consider When Building A Bed.
There are many individuals that wish their son would stay that sweet little boy you have grown to love, but when they grow they start becoming men. Things they used to like are beginning to be replaced by older more advanced toys. Some tend to cling to things that they have loved over the years, but there does come a time when their room needs an upgrade. Something to reflect the individual they are becoming to turn into.
There can be multiple solutions for storage and sleeping, however for us we opted for a loft bed. While there is a platform upon which he can sleep atop, there is room beneath for another bed or futon for family and friends to use, or a desk to do homework at, or you could always have a dresser underneath it. Even a combination of these things can be incorporated into the area. You may be surprised to find out just how much space that you will be able to save.
There are some important things to note when building your own bed. Accurate measurements are extremely important. Getting an idea of how high the ceiling is, as well the size of the mattress. For our means we were planning on giving him a queen-sized mattress.
With many things that can go wrong, you do not want to have bad measurements waste all of your expensive materials. Once you have the materials you can head to the hardware store and begin shopping for wood. My son loves the smell of cedar, it reminds him of camping outdoors, so we decided we would spend a little extra for the top rail surrounding where he would sleep.
As mentioned our neighbor helped us with getting the wood for the bed from the store to our home and then offered to help build it. He offered his saw, although we were surprised when he brought over his chainsaw. I would have never thought that husqvarna chainsaws could be used in the building of a bed, however they managed.
We began to double check our measurements before we began cutting the wood just to be certain nothing would be wasted. When we had felt comfortable enough we began cutting the wood and hammering it into place. Our son was only all too happy to lend a hand with the hammering. It was great seeing him so active in building his own bed.
To make sure that the frame was not weak, extra supports were built into the side against the wall. A crisscrossing X-shape was built onto the frame. A desk on the end helped ensure that the base was sturdy as well as becoming a useful addition to the frame. Beside that was the ladder to climb into the bed. A place for his friends to sleep over on, or for family to crash for the night was added.
Futons can be sofas when you need that extra room, just push it up, or bedding for when you need a place to sleep. They are convenient and less bulky than a hide-away sofa. They can also come in many different designs, we chose an affordable wood one. The only remaining thing to do was to buy the bedding. Unfortunately for my son the military motif only came in the king quilts and not in queen. Although we did manage to find the army colors that he liked in queen sized. It was a nice compromise.
