Cut the Clutter Once and for All With These Playroom Storage Solutions

Toys are only a nuisance if they don’t have a spot to put them. Organizing a playroom can seem overwhelming, especially if you see random bits and bobbles of your kids’ items all over the floor and don’t know where to start.

Before you organize LEGOs and Barbies and books, you need a few supplies first. You’ll need kid-friendly shelves, toy bins, hanging décor, and more unique items to sort toys and keep the chaos under control — at least as much as you can with little ones involved.
