As summer vacation rolls in, kids are home more, which means their rooms become hubs of activity, creativity, and yes, clutter. While we all love the idea of Pinterest-perfect rooms, the reality of parenting calls for something far more practical: spaces that are realistically organized—not flawless, but functional and easy to maintain by both kids and parents.
Here are simple, stress-free ways to keep your kids’ bedroom organized this summer:
1. Keep Everything Inside Cupboards
Closed storage keeps dust away and rooms looking tidy. Toys, books, clothes—hide them behind doors or in bins. It makes clean-up quick and easy.
2. Make Clothes Storage a Game
Turn laundry time into play. Try a race to sort and put away clothes. Or let them decorate their bins and drawers. Fun leads to better habits.
3. Hang Accessories for Easy Access
Use wall hooks or over-the-door hangers for caps, hairbands, and bags. Kids can grab what they need fast—and put it back just as easily.
4. Create No-Fold Zones
Not everything needs folding. Dedicate bins or drawers where kids can simply drop in pajamas, shorts, or play clothes. Less pressure, more independence.
5. Set Up Easy Decluttering Zones
Kids grow quickly. Keep a small bin nearby where they can toss outgrown clothes or toys. Make it a habit to sort and donate regularly.
6. Add a Shelf for Collectibles
Kids love to display their treasures. A small shelf lets them show off their favourites while keeping desks and floors clear.
7. Store Hand-Me-Downs Accessibly
If you have younger kids, label a shelf or bin for hand-me-downs. Keep it easy to access so clothes stay in rotation without piling up.
8. Use Vertical Space
Look up! Wall-mounted racks, shelves, or supply stations free up floor space and organize things smartly—great for crafty kids.
9. Include Movable Storage
A rolling cart or trolley is perfect for mobile play. Fill it with toys, games, or art supplies. If they want a change of scene, they can roll it elsewhere.
Final Thought: Aim for Balance, Not Perfection
A clean-looking, kid-friendly room doesn’t need to be perfect. The goal is to create a space your child can enjoy—and help maintain.
This summer, focus on creating calm through simple systems. Less stress. More time for fun.
