Ideas for storing toys in a nursery

Depending on what needs to be cleaned, various ideas for storing toys are used. Soft toys, educational games and cars, of course, must be stored in different ways.

In a large nursery, of course, it is much easier to place roomy and convenient storages for everything you need than in a small one. But even in the room of the most modest sizes, it is possible to equip quite suitable structures for placing trains and dolls, designers and coloring books.

Toy Storage Options

• Rack

A good idea for storing toys in the nursery is to build a shelf along the wall or as a partition between functional areas, if space allows. Special containers for toys are placed in the lower part of the rack; these can be baskets, boxes or pull-out containers. In the middle part you can place a TV, and in the upper part you can arrange cabinets for things that are rarely used.

• Baskets

A very nice option is to store toys in the child’s room in wicker baskets. They can be put on the cabinet, if it is low. If the child does not reach the top of the closet, this is not a reason to refuse such a design. In the baskets you can remove those toys that he temporarily does not use.

You can hang shelves on the wall and put on them baskets for folding toys. Such shelves, in addition to the main function, will also serve as a kind of decor for the nursery. An important plus: toys are always visible, they do not have to look. Minus - soft toys in this embodiment will collect dust. Also, baskets can be placed in cabinets, on racks or left as separate elements.

• Organizers

These storages are specially designed, and consist of two parts: the frame and the containers that are inserted into it. You can purchase ready-made organizers, for example, in IKEA, or make to order. Frames can be wooden, metal, plastic, and containers, as a rule, are made of bright plastic, and look quite decorative. One of the main advantages of such a system is its low price.

• Chests

Chests have been used since ancient times. It is convenient, and if you use wooden or leather chests to store toys in the children's room, it is also stylish. More budget option - plastic chests of various sizes. They can also be bright.

• Pockets

Among the ideas for storing toys, the simplest is to sew wall pockets for them from thick fabric or even polyethylene. The size of such pockets can be any, depending on what is planned to be stored in them. Sewn from beautiful fabric, they will decorate the interior.

• Bed

The storage of toys can be solved with the help of drawers placed under the bed. There are several options: either buy a ready-made bed equipped with such drawers, or make boxes to order, and place it under an existing bed.

Many children like to sleep “on the second floor”, climbing to bed on the stairs. In this case, in the lower tier you can arrange a workplace for the child, and surround him with lockers for storing toys. Such beds in the attic are very attractive for children of all ages.

• Bench

Storage systems for toys in a child’s room can be combined with other items, especially in a small nursery.If you equip a bench under the window, under which to place the drawers - either sliding, on wheels, or sliding along the rails - you get a very comfortable place to relax and at the same time - a place where it is convenient to remove toys and where it is easy to get them from.

• Boxes on wheels

Another interesting idea. All that is needed is a box of wood, wheels from rollers, a skateboard or old furniture. With the help of such a storage box, it will be convenient for the child to transport toys from one room to another.
