Kids often create tsunamis of messiness wherever they go. With piles of toys and clothes scattered everywhere--an explosion of school papers here, a fountain of unfolded linens there--a kid's closet frequently inspires parents' groans.
But closet organization solutions now cater to the ever-changing needs of our favorite little rug-rats and accommodate the endless piles of "stuff" that they collect. Plus, kids can even get involved in the clever design of their own closet systems, an experience that fosters their appreciation for organization. Yes, mommies and daddies, cleaning the room can be a fun enterprise for your young ones.
But there are also added benefits to teaching your kids how to carefully organize their dens of imagination. By engaging your child in tasks such as sorting and classifying, you actually encourage logical and mathematical thinking. While a custom kids closet leads to a cleaner room that you can wander into without tripping over Transformers or Barbies, research shows that it may also turn your child into a math whiz.
A few specifics to consider for your custom kids closet system
Despite kids' changing needs, a custom kids closet organization professional can help you design a closet system that's fun and functional.
- Babies grow into toddlers. And toddlers eventually grow into kids with vast powers of messiness. With so many changes along the way, consult a professional about building a kids closet system that can adapt to your children's needs.
- Consider asking your custom kids closet designer to incorporate adjustable and removable shelves or convertible tables that can change into shelves. That way, you'll have a closet organization system that can transform as your kids get older.
- Developing creative organization solutions is key for imaginative tots. You can use colorful metal buckets or bins, labeled pockets, lockers and under-the-bed storage drawers that encourage them to take an active role in curbing their clutter.
