Tidy your room!

Create a space that puts the ‘fun’ in functional with our handy hacks for tidying your kids’ clutter.

When it comes to your child’s bedroom, the sky’s the limit…

What a mug

Kids love themed mugs and they make great holders for craft essentials.

Shelf life

You can never have too much storage, right? When there’s plenty to tidy away, shelves can provide a happy home for more than just books. Stash teddies, craft supplies or folded items of clothes.

All boxed up Stepping on a piece of Lego is no fun, so keep playthings tidy and hidden away from curious fingers in lidded boxes or trunks.

A warm glow

Hang a sparkly string of lights inside a play tent for an instant “den”, or use to transform an empty corner into a cosy reading nook. Or use colourful pegs to display works of art.

Easy access

Keep toys to hand to encourage play. Baskets aren’t “new”, but they do the job and, when hung from low hooks, free up floor space for… a game of “musical tidy-up time”!
