Under The Bed Storage

Elevate your child’s bed with fun under the bed storage cabinets. By transforming your child’s room with custom cabinets under the bed, you take advantage of what usually becomes a cluttered dust bunny home. Custom cabinets work with any size or shape children’s bed. Use drawers to store shoes, clothing, books, favorite toys, and more. You can even expand the under the bed cabinets to the headboard.

Use the headboard to store favorite stuffed animals. For hard or heavy items, use glass doors to ensure nothing falls out while your kid’s sleeping.

Create Playful Designs

The great thing about a child’s room is you’re free to get more creative. Do you have a little princess? Install custom cabinets shaped like a castle. Does your child love going hiking? Make the cabinets look like tree. You could even install a bridge between two cabinet trees to store stuffed animals to make them look like they’re in a jungle.

With pre-fabricated cabinets, you can’t get this same playfulness. Custom lets you create a room your child will love. Their cabinets aren’t just storage anymore. They’re part of the room’s personality.

Cabinet-Play Desk Combo

Easily transform your child’s room with custom cabinets by giving them more room to play. Create a cabinet that also functions as a play desk. This could be an area for them to color, paint, play with toys and more. The cabinet serves as storage for supplies and toys. A corner can easily be converted to a small play area. Leave a small open area in the cabinets for a chair and you’re all set.

If you have multiple kids sharing the same room, create a separate section for each child to play. You can either space the cabinets out or paint them different colors to designate each child’s area.

Multi-Color Cabinets

Speaking of painting, brighten up a child’s room with multi-color cabinets. Different colors have different effects on your child’s mood and even mental growth. If you don’t want to paint the walls, get more color with your cabinets. After all, they’re easier to take down and reface if you want to change colors.

For example, you might choose two or three colors to alternate your kid’s cabinets. Greens, blues and oranges are relaxing, soothing and cheerful without being overwhelming.

Use Drawers And Bins

When it comes to putting toys away, kids love drawers and bins. After all, they can just pile everything in. Transform your child’s room with custom cabinets that incorporate mainly drawers and bins. Each cabinet can be sized to exactly what you need.

You could even add labels to each drawer and bin to make it easier for your child to put everything away where it belongs. Naturally, you can add custom cabinets nearly anywhere in your child’s room. Use them along walls, in a corner or even in the middle of the room to create a fun play area.

Break Apart A Shared Room

If you have two siblings sharing a room, you know that each kid usually wants their own space. Use custom cabinets to transform the room into two separate areas. Use a wall of cabinets to create a private space for each child. Each has storage on their side of the wall. They can still have a shared play area and closet. Or, let the cabinets become wardrobes for each child. You can always add cabinets to the closet to store other items. HGTV has a list of incredible kids’ bedrooms and playrooms to really inspire how creative you can get, including breaking apart a room.

Does your child’s room look like it should be declared an official disaster area? Does there never seem to be enough room for everything?

No matter how much stuff your child might have or how little space there is, incorporating fun kids room storage design ideas helps to transform the space.

With a few storage hacks, you can finally find a clear path, just still watch out for those pesky Legos that seem to jump out of nowhere.

1. Color-Coded Storage Bins/Baskets

Add a small or large cabinet along a wall or in a corner. Section off blocks to place color-coded storage bins (cloth or plastic) or baskets. Label each bin with a type of toy or item. Then, all a child has to do is grab the right bin, dump all the appropriate items in and put it back. While they might still balk at cleaning up after playing, you’ll love how clean it looks when they’re done. Plus, it adds some bright color to the room.

2. Build Vertical Cubbies

Sometimes, kids room storage seems impossible when the room’s small. However, you still have some vertical space to work with. Floor-to-ceiling cubbies work for both storage and decorations. Use baskets or bins to store items out of sight and use open cubbies to showcase trophies, pictures or favorite toys. If you have space, you can even add two floor-to-ceiling cubbies with a bench in the middle. This is a great place to sit and play or read. Plus, the bench can double as extra storage.

3. Add A Play Desk

Never underestimate the storage possibilities of a desk. You don’t need a traditional desk. Instead, install custom cabinets or even a custom cabinet island, much like a kitchen island. One cabinet will be a pull-out chair to easily store the chair when it’s not in use. Then, you’ll have cabinets to either side, which can be drawers or standard cabinets. If you want to go vertical, add a row of cabinets above and let your child hang a few toys or play accessories from the bottom for easy access.

4. Separate The Room

Imagine if you could combine kids room storage and separate the room into two parts at the same time. Now, you can! Whether you’re separating the room to give two kids their own space or just to separate a play area and sleep area, cabinets in the middle of the room will do the trick.

A row of base cabinets from the wall to wall, with a door wide space in the middle, allows your child to have shelves or cabinets for storage and adds some separation. For more privacy, you can use floor-to-ceiling cabinets instead of just base cabinets.

5. Create Play-Themed Storage

This might sound kind of vague, but the idea is to build shelves or cabinets that resemble something your child loves to do. For instance, if your kid loves cars, you might build a tall cabinet with doors that look like car doors and tires for handles. If your child loves dolls, you can build a shelving unit that looks like a large open dollhouse.

6. Get Rid Of The Bottom Bunk

Bunk beds aren’t just for sleeping. If you get rid of the bottom bed, you have an entire space to work with for storage. Adding drawers, cubbies, baskets or even a desk with a few cabinets helps to turn that bottom bed into the perfect place for storage and play.

7. Floating Shelves/Boxes

Kids room storage doesn’t have to be bland. Add some custom floating shelves or boxes. Wall-mounted crates actually work well for this. They can be placed in patterns for extra storage and decoration. Paint them to match your child’s favorite color, toy, TV character or whatever else they may be into.

8. Store Where They Sit

There are limitless possibilities for this one. A few creative ideas include:

Storage ottomans with fuzzy or beanbag style seat cushions
Using wooden boxes for seats and storage
Using crates with wheels to store items and travel around the room
Benches with hidden storage
Stools with shelves
Larger ottomans with storage and a large space for sitting stuffed animals, shoes or clothes for the next day

Chairs don’t have to just take up space. They also help you gain space when they double as storage.
