Tiny clothes bundled into small wardrobes can cause major chaos! From colourful sweaters to odd socks and boots, it's easy for your child's clothes to get disorganised in those last-minute hurries to get ready on time.
With little space to use, it's important to maximise every square inch possible. It can be challenging to tidy up and fold the contents inside a kids' wardrobe, especially since the hangers and compartments are designed for little hands. In this article, we provide our top tips and practical advice on how to keep your child's wardrobe organised.
Use wicker baskets for the little things
If space comes at a premium in your kids' room wardrobe, wicker storage baskets seamlessly take care of any overflow.
Wicker baskets are versatile and durable. Despite being made from lightweight natural fibres, they're surprisingly robust – often strengthened by an internal wire frame. Wicker baskets make a wonderful addition to the bottom shelf in a kids' wardrobe, providing that extra bit of space for socks, gloves, scarves and all those items that seem to disappear too easily.
Try built-in storage solutions
Flush fitted furniture looks the part in any room. When it comes to finding contemporary kids' wardrobe ideas that offer practical benefits too, it's difficult to find a better solution than custom storage for their bedroom.
Built-in wardrobes are designed and installed specifically for your interior. Whether your child's bedroom is an attic room with sloped ceilings or a vast, tall space, a fitted wardrobe will complement both the shape of your home and the style of your décor.
If you choose tailored solutions like fitted wardrobes from Hammonds, you can rest assured that you'll receive the best possible upgrade for your child's bedroom. Along with timeless and bespoke designs, fitted wardrobes offer handy compartments, rails and shelves to help you keep everything tidy.
Keep things fun with colour coordination
Even though finding more space might be challenging, a kids' small wardrobe still gives you plenty of scope for personalisation. Encouraging your child to tidy up might be tricky at the best of times but colours, shapes and patterns make the prospect more inviting.
You can help your child feel empowered to organise their belongings with a playful colour-coded approach. The psychology behind colour is well established: in addition to shaping the way we see our environment, colour is proven to help us identify and categorise. For children, the effects are even more profound.
When you visually reduce the chaos in front of you, it's easier for you and your child to find the clothes you need. Colour coordination is one of the simplest ways to make getting ready for school feel like a walk in the park.
Add handy shelving
Building extra shelving at the top of the wardrobe is a quick task but it could make all the difference. This extra space will be perfect for those wicker storage baskets, neatly folded pairs of trousers and other kids' wardrobe essentials. If you prefer, you could add a little bit of decoration to give the space a little bit of character.
Even if you've only got space for a small kid's wardrobe, adding shelves means that you can extend the depth and volume inside it. With shelves, you can compartmentalise different items in your child's wardrobe and make it easier to find their clothes, even at a glance.
Make everything accessible
Perhaps your child is desperate to wear their favourite jumper but you're struggling to find it. Ensuring things remain easily accessible is so important, especially with young children. Why not consider keeping outfits paired together? If you're prepared for the week ahead, you can find intuitive ways to make the morning routine easier.
Try to keep everything at eye level for your child and try not to overfill the clothing rails. Keeping clothes evenly spaced helps to create a strong sense of balance, which is key to helping children feel relaxed in their bedroom.
