New Year New Room with Storage! Minimize Kids' Room Clutter.
The Holidays are over, and we're left now with a whirlwind of new toys, clothes, and items. The New Year is the perfect time to declutter their space and start the year strong. Let's talk about some quick tips to storage tips to create a smarter kid's room!
Here are our top storage solutions with under bed storage, toy storage, bedside storage, and convertible loft beds with storage for boys and girls rooms.
1.Take Inventory
Let's get messier before we get cleaner! Start by taking out all of your kids' items and putting them in "like" piles. Think books, toys, stuffed animals, puzzles/games, and the dreaded Legos!
Next, take inventory of what you have and what types of furniture you may need to store it neatly. It could be something as simple as a versatile toy box or an extra bookcase. 
2. Acknowledge Space Constraints
Take measurements of your room and make sure the dimensions of any product you are looking to purchase will actually work, both from a functionality and floor space. You'll be able to then recognize a lack of room for the types of furniture you think you may need and can decide on something else!
For example, if you are limited on wall space, stack your storage up with tall dressers and bookcases!
3. Consider Reconfiguring
Maybe you have a small bedroom or a shared kids' room, and the bed takes up the majority of the square footage. This is when you may want to consider a bed with storage underneath.
Loft beds are perfect for this scenario as you can slide dressers, desks, toy chests, and bookcases right under the elevated bed. This is true maximization of space you need.
Sleeping two? Corner lofts are the ideal solution for families with two children, as they provide elevated sleeping areas and utilize the space under each bed for individual storage needs.
Corner lofts are available in low, mid, and high variations so you can choose the bed based on your ceiling height and the age of your children. Then, add your storage, whether it's a desk, dresser, or nightstand. 
If you love the idea of using space under the bed but have a daybed, toddler bed, or bunk beds, opt for underbed storage. They are the perfect addition to complete the look of the bed with so much added functionality.
4. Look for Versatility
Invest in furniture that can be easily changed later in life. What works today may not work tomorrow as kids grow and their needs change. Invest in configurable furniture that will grow with them.
What do we mean by that? Maybe you need toy storage today, but know your kids will outgrow action figures in a few years.
Toy boxes like the ones from Maxtrix can be used for so much more! Take our stackable toy boxes to your entry or closet! Or, move it to the playroom and continue to store video games and electronics! The same applies to bookcases, desks, and all our storage furniture! 
5. Don't Forget the Small Accessories
Small but mighty, little room accessories really help tidy up a space. For kids who love storybooks or always bring their water bottle to bed, try bedside storage to keep everything close by and neat!
