How To Begin Organizing Your Child’s Room

It is the time of year when we clean out the clutter that has built up in our homes in an effort to make cleaning and upkeep easier during the busy summer months ahead. Spring cleaning can include different projects for different people, but for many families, decluttering and organizing the kid’s rooms is high on the list.

Let’s face it, our children’s rooms can quickly become out of control with clothes, toys, books, and other belongings gathered throughout the year. Our busy daily routines can keep us tied up with accomplishing only the bare minimum when it comes to cleaning these spaces. 

For many families, the underlying problem with keeping a child’s room clean is the fact that there is too much clutter with an inefficient organization plan. Fortunately, there are ways to turn any kids’ room into a more peaceful and easily maintained space.

Breaking The Overwhelming Cycle

Keeping your children’s rooms in order is challenging because, by their very nature, kids pull out items without putting them up properly. You clean the room and put things up only to have them pull them right out again. The cycle can seem endless, but it is not hopeless. 

The key is to take a few moments observing your child’s behavior in their room as well as reflecting on the areas that are most challenging for you to maintain. Once you have a few top hot spots identified, you can develop solutions that will target the major issue points. 

Making The Cut

Begin by separating what your child uses and plays with frequently from those things that they use infrequently. For instance, your child may have a collection of stuffed toys that they don’t play with but want to still have in their room. If you get these items up and out of the flow of traffic, you can more easily maneuver.

Reducing And Reintroducing

Cutting down on the number of toys and games that stay out in the room can also give your child fewer options to play with at a time, which will be less to clean up. You can rotate the toys in and out on a cycle, creating new interests for your child and less overwhelming space. 

Think “In” – Not “On”

Hanging baskets on the wall for books, small toys, or other items that tend to clutter shelves can create a cleaning system for your child that is easy for them to maintain. It is easier for children to place items in something, rather than on flat surfaces, as they tend to work quickly and without the attention to detail.
