Storage Shelves for Kids and Teens

Storage shelves are a versatile and practical solution for small rooms. They serve as both display areas and storage spaces for books, toys, awards, knickknacks, and more. Whether you're looking for floating shelves, corner shelves, or DIY basket shelves, there are plenty of options to choose from. Floating shelves provide a sleek and modern look, while corner shelves make use of unused space. DIY basket shelves add a touch of creativity and allow your kids to showcase their favourite toys or books. Check out the examples below for some inspiration!

Invest in a Bed with Storage

If you're in need of extra storage space but don't want to sacrifice floor space, investing in a bed with built-in storage is the way to go. Boori offers a range of beds that combine comfort and functionality. The Natty Maxi Bunk Bed with Storage Staircase is perfect for kids who love to climb and offers multiple storage drawers built right into the staircase.

Loft beds provide ample space underneath for a study area or a cosy reading nook. By choosing a bed with storage, you can declutter the room and create a peaceful environment for your child to sleep and play.

Under Bed Storage Solutions

If a bed with built-in storage isn't your preference, there are other options to consider. Utilising the space under the bed can provide a hidden storage solution. Boori offers kids' underbed drawers that are perfect for storing clothing, linens, blankets, toys, books, magazines, and more. These drawers are not only practical but also easy to access, making tidying up a breeze. Say goodbye to cluttered floors and hello to a neatly organised bedroom!

Pegboard Storage

Pegboard storage is a fun and customisable DIY option that your kids can participate in creating. It offers endless possibilities for organising their belongings. Whether it's hanging baskets for small toys, hooks for accessories, or shelves for books and display items, pegboards provide a versatile solution. Encourage your child's creativity by allowing them to arrange and rearrange the pegboard as they please. It's a fantastic way to add a personal touch to their space while keeping everything within reach.

Over-the-Door Organisers

Maximise the use of door space with over-the-door organisers. These versatile storage solutions can be used for everything from shoes to toys, clothes to accessories. They come in various sizes and styles to fit your needs. Hang them on bedroom doors, closet doors, or bathroom doors to keep items neatly organised and easily accessible. No more hunting for misplaced items or dealing with cluttered shelves and floors.

Stacked Storage Crates

Stacking crates is a simple yet effective way to maximise space in a kids' or teens' room. You can create a custom storage unit by stacking generic crates and arranging them to fit your needs. Alternatively, Boori offers a range of kids' storage boxes, including toy boxes and toy cabinets, which provide both storage and style. These dedicated storage solutions are designed with kids in mind, ensuring durability and functionality while adding a touch of charm to their space.

Elevated Space

For the ambitious DIY-er, creating an elevated space above the bed can be an exciting project. While loft beds offer a similar concept, you can customise the elevated space to suit your child's specific needs. It can serve as a study area with a desk and bookshelves, a cosy reading nook with pillows and a bookcase, or even a mini play area with a tent and toys. The possibilities are endless, limited only by your imagination. However, keep in mind that constructing an elevated space may require advanced skills and proper safety measures.

In conclusion, finding creative storage solutions for kids and teens is essential for maintaining an organised and clutter-free space. From storage shelves to under bed storage, pegboard storage to over-the-door organisers, stacked crates to elevated spaces, there are numerous options to suit your child's needs and style. By incorporating these ideas into their bedrooms, you can create a functional and personalised environment that encourages tidiness and showcases their unique personality. Say goodbye to the mess and hello to a well-organised and delightful space for your kids or teens!

Remember, a tidy room leads to a tidy mind!
