We’ve all walked into our children’s bedrooms and been amazed at how untidy their bedroom has become after just a few minutes of playing time!  Have ever looked down and been unable to make out any areas of carpet showing?  Another trick kids often do is to sweep all the toys under the bed or they somehow get under the mattress making it impossible to find later.

Walking over a mountain of toys strewn all over the bedroom floor is not how a bedroom should look. It’s important to keep a bedroom tidy for a number of reasons;

1. Child Safety – toys can be a risk in the house hold if left out after use. Ropes, skateboards, electronic robots all pose a hazard if not stowed away after use.

2. Ensuring your child understands the dangers of leaving out toys and games: get them to pack them away when they’ve finished with them.  This is good discipline for them later in life.

3.  It keeps the bedroom looking like there’s been a tornado swept through.

So some of the best ways of storing the items and play things if you have a small bedroom is to utilise a small chest or cupboard – these can be found in many home ware stores and come in all shapes and sizes, in wooden or plastic.

You could also purchase a bed with inbuilt storage drawers underneath or build a wooden cupboard : all this can doesn’t have to cost too much.  Bedcentre provide a range of bed options and storage beds available with easy glide drawers  - perfect to keep all the toys and games out of the way and concealed from view. Many of the beds feature drop front drawers with beech effect drawer linings for a contemporary style and look for the bedroom.

There are many space saving ideas for achieving a smart bedroom and making best use of space.
