Every parent knows that keeping the kids organized is no simple task. Especially when it comes to their closet. Closets are typically not designed with kids in mind, which is not very helpful when it comes to encouraging them to keep it clean. Here are a few tips from the experts at More Space Place Orlando for organizing a kid-friendly closet.
Kid Height
When organizing your child’s closet, it’s important to take into consideration the areas that they can and can’t reach, and organize intuitively. We highly recommend adding an extra hanging bar or baskets to a child’s closet. Put everyday items in the lower baskets and hang clothing on the bottom bar where they will be easy to access. Difficult to reach areas can store nice pieces that are not needed every day, or out of season items.
Adaptability
Kids will grow, and their closet should be able to grow with them. Incorporate items in your closet design that will adapt over time to fit their needs. As they get older, you can raise the bar in the closet to a more appropriate height. Cubbies can transform from toy storage to a place to keep shoes or handbags, and they can organize the baskets as they see fit.
Get Them Involved
Learning good organization habits early on will not only ease your workload as a parent but is a beneficial skill that they will carry with them for the rest of their life. It may seem easier to tackle their closet organization yourself, but it’s important to get them involved. Allowing your child to give input into how they want their closet organized will get them excited about the organization process. Contributing will allow them to take ownership of the space, and feel more invested in keeping it clean.
