Easy DIY Kids Room Storage Projects

Keep your kids' rooms organized with our easy storage solutions.

Double-Duty Seating

Little ones can use this space as a seating area or remove the pillows to create a desk. The built-in storage below offers easy access to frequently used items, and it doubles as a step for smaller children.

Hard at Work

Give kids room to spread out by installing a worktable that runs along the entire wall. Have a carpenter cut lumber to fit the space, and use wall brackets to hang it. Make the space more fun by having the carpenter add a curve, like the one shown, to the outside edge.

Grow-with-Me Storage

Use an armoire to serve multiple functions as the child grows. It stores baby clothes in the nursery, becomes an art center during elementary school, and turns into a computer desk for high school

Climbing the Walls

Walls provide lots of unused storage space. Turn display shelves into open storage by adding hooks or decorative knobs below the shelf.

Utility Rope

Install two eye hooks on the wall and run a rope between them. Use clothespins to display art projects, cards, and other items.

Industrial-Strength Storage

This heavy-duty workspace incorporates locker-style drawers for hiding away clutter and plenty of small crates and containers for storing school supplies.

Put Cubby Holes to Use

Teach kids how to tidy up by putting storage on their level. Leave the cubby holes open to store clothing and collectibles, or add baskets to store books and smaller items.

Supplies That Mean Business

Repurpose office storage pieces for kids' room supplies. Here, a tiered desktop caddy holds washcloths, lotions, soaps, and other nursery essentials.
