Children’s rooms are typically the smaller bedrooms in the house. This can make for quite a bit of clutter. Children tend to collect quite a few toys and small items. One the quickest ways to save space in a bedroom is with the bed.

For two children sharing a room, bunk beds are always the most obvious choice. There are other choices as well. Trundle beds are an option as one bed rolls beneath the other. A loft bed will leave the entire floor space open for use. Two of them can be used. These can be purchased or made.

If you’d like to add a desk in the room but do not want to take up the extra space, loft beds with desk are a choice. The bed is still on top and the desk is usually made into one of the sides so no additional space is used.

Plastic bins that can be stacked can make for a great organizing tool. All of you child’s things can be organized and grouped and placed in bins. These can be open front where all things are visible. These make cleaning up quick and easy since everything has its place. If there are shelves in the room try clear bins with lids. These can be stacked as well. They must be clear so your child knows what is in them. Otherwise you will find all the bins open, without lids, in the middle of the floor because they were looking for one item.

Under the bed storage is an option. There are beds that come with drawers underneath. This is a good place for clothing or comforters. It can even be used for toy storage. A regular bed can have under bed storage as well. Long bins with lids can be purchased. These are made especially to fit under the bed.

Storage bags that are vacuum sealed are super space savers. A large item or a large amount of clothing can fit into a space that is only a couple of inches thick. You can pile them on top of each other at the top of the closet. When winter is over put the bulky comforters in them and put them away. As the seasons change take out one season and put away another. This way the closet and drawers are never crowded with clothing.

A shoe organizer that fits over the door can hold so many items besides shoes. It will always be useful no matter the child’s age. It can be used for their collections of balls, rocks, shells, buttons, etc. All their art supplies can be kept in one place and each item has its own pocket. Even the paper can fit in these pockets. Each pocket can hold different colored paper of different sizes.

These are just some space saving and organizing tips. The top bed for saving space is the loft bed with desk. Underneath it you can put the stackable storage and off the opposite side you can hang the shoe organizer. Sleeping and storage all in one space. Choose any or all of the ideas to add a little more space for fun in a small bedroom.
