Maximizing Storage in Your Child’s Bedroom

Posted on 11/10/2014

Bunk bed with stairs in natural colorWhen your home already has limited space, storing the growing collections of items from your children creates a challenge. Kids accumulate clothing, toys, school supplies, and other miscellaneous junk that takes up more and more room in your house. You realize quickly that proper organization is key to ensuring you don’t have to climb over piles of clothing and stacks of books every time you enter each room.

While in the process of organizing your home to maximize storage, furniture can add features to allow for the best use of your space. Whether including a desk space under a loft bed or simply having access to extra storage drawers, the furniture you use can help to improve your organization.

The Bedroom Source offers a number of features in furniture that allow for extra storage space while still leaving room to realize that there is indeed a floor. First of all, bunk bed stairs include drawers under each step, offering ample room for clothing storage, even if you have room for a dresser. In addition, a bunk bed in general will help to maximize space, allowing you to sleep two people in a compact area. High, sturdy railings on the top bunk ensure safety for small children so they won’t roll over onto the floor in their sleep.

These allow you to tuck away extra blankets, comforters, pillows, clothing, and anything else for which you can’t find room elsewhere. If you plan to have other children sleeping in the room at times and want to have a space-efficient alternative to an extra bed, opt for a trundle bud that rolls out for an easy, comfortable place to sleep.

Once your child gets old enough to do homework in his or her room, you’ll likely want to provide a desk. Unfortunately, in a small space, you can’t always feasibly add a desk to a room that already might include a bed, a bookshelf, and a dresser or two. In this case, a number of our furniture lines include loft beds with desks underneath.

With a desk below and a bed above, such as in the Mountain Loft with Desk you can efficiently use space while providing ample space for a computer, books, and school supplies on your child’s desk. A set of drawers underneath the desk can provide additional space to tuck away pencils, paper, and secret treasures.

This bed includes a set of three drawers, shelves, and a cabinet at the side, underneath a twin size mattress.

A number of options exist to help maximize space for storage in your child’s bedroom. Consider the furniture available to you when looking for places to keep your growing collections of clothing, toys, and other items.
