7 Helpful Ideas for Kids Closets

Introduction

Is there anything more fun to organize than a kids closet? Not only do you have the chance to make an impact on your child's life, but you also get to play with toys and clothes! It's like Christmas morning every time. However, getting started can be a little tricky if this is your first time organizing. Luckily, I've got seven helpful ideas for organizing kids' closets that will make everything easier!

Use shoe organizers for small items.

If your child has a lot of small items, consider using a shoe organizer to keep them in place. Shoes are made to organize and protect shoes, so they're perfect for keeping other small items organized as well. Your child can use the shoe organizer to store hair accessories, costume jewelry and more. For parents who have lots of kids' clothing that needs storing and organizing, shoe organizers are a great solution because they take up less space than traditional storage containers do.

You'll be able to find these organizers at any local department store or online through Amazon or Walmart. They're easy enough to install yourself: just hang them on the closet rod with double-sided tape or clips (it's best if you mount them low enough so that little hands won't be tempted by all those shiny baubles).

Use decorative bins for stuffed animals or toys.

You can also use decorative bins for toys, stuffed animals and games. They can be used to store art supplies, school supplies and craft supplies. You can use them to store sports equipment such as balls, bats and other equipment you may have in your closet.

You can create an organization system for your kids that is easy for them to understand and follow so they don't lose things or forget where they've put items.

Keep the closet floor clear so that children can easily access the items in their closet.

  • Keep the closet floor clear of clutter and toys so that children can easily access the clothes in their closet.

  • Keep clothes off the floor to keep things easy for kids to reach when they're getting ready for school or playtime, etc.

Hang a mirror from the inside of the closet door to check outfits before leaving the house.

Another idea is to hang a mirror from the inside of your child's closet door. This offers them a chance to see themselves in their outfits before they leave the house, especially if they are going somewhere where they'll be photographed (like on an outing with friends or family or even at school). A mirror also helps kids see if they need to adjust their clothes, fix their hair, or clean their teeth.

Make clean-up a breeze by always having a laundry hamper nearby. By having kids learn to throw dirty clothes in the hamper right away, your laundry will be that much easier at the end of the week!

Now, a laundry hamper is probably not something that you’d think of as being helpful for your kids’ closets. But trust me, it will make clean-up a breeze! By always having a laundry hamper nearby, your kids will be able to throw their dirty clothes away immediately after they take them off. This way, at the end of the week when you are doing laundry (which can be very messy), your clothes will already be separated and ready to go in the washer or dryer. This also makes it easier for younger children who might not understand how to separate whites from colors or delicates from everything else yet. It will also help teach them responsibility: if they take responsibility for throwing away their own dirty clothing instead of leaving it lying around until mommy comes along three days later (like some people do), then they learn pride in their own space and get used to keeping things neat and tidy without anyone ever having told them so explicitly.

They'll also learn better organization habits: since getting dressed becomes much faster since there's less stuff scattered everywhere; when something isn't where it's supposed to go then there's no chance something won't find its way back into its proper place before long—no matter what kind of day my kid had! And best yet? This means more time spent playing outside with friends instead because everybody knows good habits start early..."

Utilize the space in your closet with shelving and baskets that are even at each level.

Utilize the space in your closet with shelving and baskets that are even at each level.

Closets can be a challenge, but it doesn't have to be! With these helpful ideas for kids' closets, you'll be able to find room for everything—and everyone will know where to put their stuff. Shelves are great for storing clothing and shoes, bookshelves can hold toys and books, bathroom product shelves will help keep your toiletries organized, kitchen product storage is perfect for keeping pots and pans off of the floor or countertops (and out of sight).

Store shoes vertically in separate bags.

Storing shoes vertically saves space and makes it easier to see what's inside a bag. You can store your children's shoes in their closet, or you can use a shoe organizer that also saves space and is better for keeping the contents organized. In addition to storing their shoes vertically, many kids love having their own closet space as well. If this is something you're interested in doing, consider using a shoe rack where they can hang up their shirts on hangers!

Investing in an adjustable shoe organizer is a great way to keep shoes stored neatly and out of sight, while also making them easy to find when needed. It's a great solution for multiple pairs of shoes belonging to different family members

It's no secret that there are many ways to store shoes, but an adjustable shoe organizer can offer a unique set of benefits. First, it gives you the ability to keep all or most of your shoes out of sight and neatly organized at all times, so they can be easily accessed when needed. Second, it lets you store multiple pairs in one place (if space is available).

The first step is simply choosing which type of adjustable shoe organizer will work best for your needs: vertical or horizontal. Vertical organizers tend to be more compact and narrow than their horizontal counterparts—making them ideal if space is limited—but they may not always fit larger pairs well unless they're hung individually rather than stacked together as pairs.

Baskets hold more than you can imagine when thrown onto shelves.

Baskets are a great way to organize small items. They can be used to hold clothes, toys, books and school supplies. Here are some ideas for how you can use baskets in your child's closet:

  • Use a basket to hold socks.

  • Use a basket to hold underwear. This will make it easier for your child to find the right size when they need it!

  • Use one basket as storage space for toys and another as storage space for books so that they're neatly organized on the shelf.

Use clear organizing containers to make it easy for children to see what's inside and reduce clutter. This will also help with organization and storage, so when it's time to put something away, they know exactly where to go!

You can keep your kids' closet organized with clear organizing containers. They'll be able to see what's inside, and this will reduce clutter, making it easier for children to remember what they need to put away. It'll also help when it comes time to put things away because they know exactly where everything goes!

Allow for easy access to all hanging garments by simplifying the amount of hangers and clothes inside the closet. In general, a child should not have more than half their closet filled with hanging clothes.

Having lots of things in your child's closet is not necessarily a bad thing; however, it can become difficult to manage if they do not have enough space to store them. If you tend to over-clutter your child's closet, consider some of these helpful tips:

  • Keep only half the hanging garments on hangers in the closet at any time. The other half should be folded neatly and stored away from reach. This allows for easy access to all hanging garments by simplifying the amount of hangers and clothes inside the closet. In general, a child should not have more than half their closet filled with hanging clothes.

  • Do not fill up your child’s entire shoe rack with shoes! This will make it nearly impossible for them to retrieve shoes easily when needed as well as limit usable space within their closet overall (which defeats its purpose). Instead, try storing extra pairs under beds or in bins under beds so that they are out of sight but still accessible when needed! You can also choose shoes that match each other fairly closely so they can share an area on both sides instead; this way each pair has its own space without being overwhelmed by others surrounding it all at once!

Have a bin for items that aren't used daily such as holiday decorations, costumes, or out of season items that can be swapped in and out as needed.

Make the most of your space by using a bin to store items that are rarely used. This could be seasonal decorations, out of season clothes and accessories, or costumes. By keeping these types of items in a separate place they will not clutter up your closet and make it look messy.

Take inventory of what children need at eye level (such as coats, jackets and other frequently used items) and store seldom-used items higher up on shelves or in bins.

Organizing a child’s closet can be tricky because there are so many clothes, shoes and other items to consider. But, you can use these tips from the experts to help your kids have the best closet possible.

  • Take inventory of what children need at eye level (such as coats, jackets and other frequently used items) and store seldom-used items higher up on shelves or in bins. I learned this tip from my mother when she organized my closet after college.

  • Label boxes! Children will be excited about putting their toys away if they know where everything goes—and it makes clean up time easier for parents too!

  • Invest in hooks like these ones found at Amazon that allow you to hang backpacks or purses so they don't clutter up valuable floor space! You could also use them as a place for hats/gloves/scarves etc...

Good organization will help kids become responsible stewards of their own belongings and spaces.
