It’s one thing to keep a kid’s closet in good shape. But how does one go about keeping things tidy when a single closet is shared between multiple children? Don’t worry. We’ve got some tips for you.
Get a Closet or Organizer
The best foundation for any organized closet is the closet itself! Having something tailored to meet your needs will benefit you for years to come and save a ton of time in the long run. This is especially true for your kids’ closet. Our expert designers can help you incorporate cubbies, shelves, drawers, and more as needed. We put a lot of thought into these designs to help you build the perfect setup to keep your kids closet. The goal is always to build good habits of organization, and implement closets that will stay stylish, effective, and neat!
Organize Sensibly
Your first impulse might be to try splitting the closet space into equal vertical sections. But it might be best to put a little more thought into this. Consider how much space each kid will actually need. Do they have the exact same kinds and amount of clothing? Most likely not.
So, how can you divide the space in a way that works? A better way to establish whose things are whose might be to use organizers, labels, or color-coding. Different colored hangers for each kid, for example, are both a great way to visually break up the space and allow ample room for whoever needs it.
Set Clear Rules
The hardest part is always keeping the closet looking as good as it does when it’s first set up. Make sure all of your kids know the rules about what goes where, whose space is whose, and what isn’t allowed to go in this space. As life gets busy, closets tend to end up storing all kinds of things they’re not meant to. To keep their closet from becoming a jumbled miscellaneous storage space, it’s important to establish boundaries about what items belong elsewhere.
Along with this, make it known that each kid is responsible for their sections of the closet. This is a great way for them to practice looking after their own things and showing respect for shared spaces.
