A child is a joy to have but along with the bundle of joy is a lot of baggage and you have to find places to store all his stuff. As you’re preparing a room for a newborn or redecorating for a growing child, finding storage space is just as important as choosing the right color paint or bedding. As your child grows, he will accumulate a lot of things and these things will need an awful lot of storage space.

Out in the open
Lots of things that your child uses can be stored on shelves, book shelves, hang on hooks or on containers on a desk or table. To keep things looking neat and orderly, keep books neatly arranged, games in boxes, or toys hanging on pegs on the wall. You can also place smaller items into coordinated baskets or plastic boxes for a neat look on open shelves.

Out of sight but close at hand
For things that just cannot be made to look neat, use shelves or a chest of drawers in a closet, arrange boxes in an armoire, or slide things in shallow boxes under the bed. Stacks of clothes, hobby supplies, school bags can easily be hidden behind doors, but remain convenient and ready at any time. For the ultimate organization, use boxes, files, or storage baskets to keep things organized.

2. Under the sea
