Organizing Children's Rooms

Decorating children's rooms is both fun and challenging. Challenging because the room has to grow with the child. Fun because you get a chance to call on your inner child.  Whatever the age of the child, the design should be both fun and functional and functional means it works and it is organized. The first thing to do is to make sure you tailor your ideas to the child. Make sure you are finding solutions that work for the age and size of the child, for example, child size hangers and floor-level open containers to hold toys and books. Make it easy and fun to encourage your child to keep their rooms clean and organized.

Here are my five favorite tips for organizing children's rooms.

Organization Tip 1: We all want our children to read and here is a great DIY idea for making a book bin. The bins are lined with wallpaper. With storage this pretty, who wouldn't want to clean up?
