No Child Furniture, But Need Storge Ideas?Does your son or daughter have a room full of child furniture but has no storage space? This could be your situation if you chose the furniture based strictly upon appearance. The importance of practicality is sometimes learned after the fact of the purchase. If practicality in child furniture falls into your hindsight category, there are means of controlling the storage or more appropriately, the lack of storage for your child. Once you have storage solutions in place you will be able to actually enjoy looking at the furniture that you bought. Let’s dive into the deep end first by beginning with your child’s closet. Oh no...not the closet. There’s no way possible to stuff anything else into that closet. Since your choice in child furniture doesn’t provide much storage, your child has always put everything into the closet. Wonder who ever gave your child the idea that he or she should store everything in the closet? If you didn’t give your child another option for storage but asked to see a clean room, then you put your parental stamp of approval on the closet. The overflow is probably under the bed. So, you admit that the child furniture you bought doesn’t have room for storage, but you never meant that things shouldn’t be placed neatly into the closet. Your child probably did begin neatly placing things inside the closet, but most likely quickly filled the available space. More probably sooner than later your child began stacking one thing on top of another, on top of another...until closet chaos ruled. Should you buy another piece of child furniture to store some of the closet contents? No, the last thing that a cluttered room needs is another piece of space-hungry furniture. What comes out of the closet will only end up on top of the piece of furniture. Since buying additional child furniture for storage won’t work, what will work? Maximize the space that you do have in the closet. Empty it completely, including all the shoes, toys, books and papers on the floor. Now, that accomplished, take a real look inside. The closet is big enough to put more child furniture into it...hold on, back to the no more furniture rule. What do you see inside the closet? Probably nothing more than the rod on which clothes are hung. Do what you didn’t do when you bought child furniture, look at the closet with practicality. At first glance, you see a place to hang clothes and the floor as storage space. Take the longest piece of your child’s clothing and hang it on the rod inside the closet. Instead of looking at the closet from the perspective you used in buying child furniture, view it with a functional perspective. What do you see above the rod on which you’ve hung the one piece of clothing? What do you see between the bottom of the piece of clothing and the closet floor? What do you see? You’re not supposed to be envisioning child furniture. Space...just space is all that you see above the clothing rod all the way to the ceiling and more space between the bottom of the piece of clothing and the closet floor. The solution to your storage problem is not more child furniture but in using all the space that you have available, beginning inside the closet. Create more closet storage by...
