3 Tips to Get Started
Shop and order products
Certain items are an integral part of the organizing process. Hangers, baskets, and drawer organizers can help you establish clear homes for belongings, and can bring ease to knowing what goes where. Measure your space and take note of what you can use, and don’t be afraid to order more than what you need—you can always return what isn’t used and avoid multiple trips to stores!
Edit before you organize
One of the most important steps is sorting and editing everything in the room. Start by taking all items out of closets and drawers, and put them into general categories like clothes, accessories, and books. Once it’s all visible, review and edit each category into piles of keep, store elsewhere, donate, and discard. This way, you’ll know exactly what you’re working with when it’s time to organize.
Create zones
The main three zones in a kid’s bedroom are: hanging space (closet or wardrobe), space for folded clothes (dresser), and books/toy storage (baskets, bins, bookshelves). Hanging space is best for delicate clothing, occasion and seasonal items, and outerwear. You can also hang sweaters if space allows! Drawers are great for basics like pajamas, onesies, t-shirts, pants, and sets. The top drawer can also be used for diapers, burp clothes, and bibs if you have little ones!
