7 Ideas for Organizing Your Kids' Closets

When you open up your kids’ closets, do toys and such come falling out onto your head? If so, you are desperately in need of a serious organization session in your children’s custom closets. 

Here are 7 ways you can transform them into the epitome of neatness and organization:

1. Organize Vertically
2. Make Use of Clear Bins and Wire Baskets
3. Use The Space on The Back of Doors
4. Make Space for a Laundry Basket
5. Conceal Clutter in Drawers
6. Hang a Daily Organizer
7. Don’t Underestimate The Details

Check out these easy ways to make your children’s closets much more than manageable and as cute as can be!

Particularly when it comes to the smallest of kid's closets, you need to focus on utilizing all of the available vertical space that it has to offer. One of the ways that you can do this is by hanging a set of double bars so they have twice the hanging capacity. The lower bar then becomes easily accessible for smaller children, such as toddlers, to reach.



Upper shelving can be used to store items such as out-of-season clothing, and other objects that don’t get used very often.

The more transparent your storage solutions are, the better chance there is that your child is going to put things where they belong. For example, if your child can see that his or her sweaters are folded in a sliding wire drawer, or that their games are organized neatly within clear, stackable bins, that is likely where more of them will end up.



This becomes even more true when you take the time to label any bins you have in your child’s closet space. When labeled in a clear and eye-catching manner, doing so can really help in maintaining the organization that you have worked so hard to achieve. 

When it comes to effective closet organization, homedit.com adds never to forget the valuable space on the back of doors. This area can be used for many different purposes, including: 

• Storing shoes
• Hanging sectional pouches filled with stuffed animals and other items
• Hanging flat baskets to hold books or art supplies
• Fastening hooks to hang jackets, bookbags, & jewelry

If at all possible, having a sliding wire laundry basket in your child’s closet is an ideal scenario to keep things nice and tidy. If this isn’t an option for you, designate a corner to make home to a pop-up laundry basket that can easily be toted around when laundry day arrives.

Have you run out of space to hold all of your child’s toys, games, and stuffed animals? No worries! There is an abundance of storage dressers available that are perfect for hiding extra items you'd prefer not to display in your child’s closet. 



Ideally, you should choose a unit that features deep, opaque sliding drawers so that your child’s collection of stuff will remain under wraps, even if the items are just thrown inside in haste.

Looking for a way to make mornings with your children run more smoothly? HGTV.com offers up a great idea for making getting ready for school a more hassle-free experience. All you need to do is hang a daily clothing organizer from your child’s clothing rod. This handy helper has one section to hold your child’s outfit for each day of the week. 

Having your kids' outfits ready-to-go each day frees them up from having to make spur-of-the-moment decisions about what to wear. Depending on their age, they can dress with confidence, which helps to foster a sense of independence.

Even though your main goal is to neatly organize all of your child’s clothes, shoes, and toys, you should also seek to create a visually appealing nook for them that will add to the overall beauty of their bedroom. One thing you can do to help achieve this is to organize their items by color.



Within each color, you can further organize the items by size and season if you like. Try painting the back wall of the closet a complementary color. Place special touches such as framed pictures, sporting goods, or adorable stuffed animals in empty spaces to add a bit of character. 

When it comes to organizing your kids’ closets, why not make it a family event? If your children are old enough to help you with the task, this can be a perfect way to bond with them. While you're at it, you can go through their things together and make decisions about what they would like to keep and what they can agree to donate. It's a great opportunity to teach youngsters the importance of giving, while simultaneously showing them that everything has its own place.
