Having kids around could be a mess. Here are some simple tips on how to keep things tidy around the house and how to keep kids' rooms clean.
Before organizing the room, it is important to classify which have been long unused or already unwanted. These items could be old toys or clothes that are already small for them. Old toys, clothes and books can be donated or included in a garage sale. Aside from that, to make sure children don't have a lot of things inside their room, set a limit when buying stuff for them and don't purchase something that they don't really need.
Country Living suggests having bunk bed built-ins as storage options, most especially when two or more children occupy the room. Toys and other items can be tucked underneath the bed, while books can be easily reached.
Aside from that, the site also suggests using vintage suitcases as storage. These cases can be easily stacked and placed behind closet doors to avoid clutter. It is also best to use stuffed toys as decorations instead of looking for space to store them away.
Good Housekeeping, meanwhile, suggests that to keep the room clutter-free always, and it is important to involve the children from the very beginning in organizing the place. It is also important that they understand the reason why they need to have a clutter-free room.
