Playroom storage is convenient and functional but it can also look great too. Modern kids furniture can be highly decorated while also being safe and lightweight. This makes it perfect for use in the playroom, where your kids are actively encouraged to go and spend time when they're at their most active. The playroom can also be one of the busiest rooms in terms of the amount of stuff that gets left or stored in there so finding the perfect storage solution is essential to ensuring that the room is kept as tidy as possible.
Toy Boxes
Wooden Toy Storage Bins
Toy boxes have been around for many generations and what they lack in compartmentalization they more than make up for in room. Typically, a toy box is a large wooden box with hinged lid, and any toys can be placed in there. Added convenience is afforded with the toy box because it can usually double up as bench seating even if it hasn't been specifically designed for that very purpose.
Lockers And Cupboards
Lockers and front opening cupboards are also useful in play rooms. Heavy wooden box lids can prove extremely painful if dropped on little fingers and with lockers and front opening toy boxes or storage options this becomes much less of a problem. While these may not offer the flexibility of being able to sit atop them they are still extremely convenient as a form of playroom storage.
Toy Caddies
Toy caddies are basically small versions of the toy box. They offer less storage space but they can be secreted in hard to spot places when tidying up and they are also light enough that your son or daughter should be able to carry them around when playing or when tidying up.
Storage Buckets And Bins
As well as caddies, you can get plain see through storage buckets along with a wooden frame to hold them. Store bin units are great for holding any kinds of toy but can be especially useful for kids that love painting or love crafts. There are numerous storage bins placed in the unit and you can get extremely colorful versions to bring color and character to the playroom as well as functionality and storage.
Specialist Media Storage Options
Book shelves, DVD racks, and CD storage units are very specialist forms of storage but they offer the ideal way to store these kinds of media. The fact that ready made slots are included can reduce the amount of space that the DVD or CD takes and book shelves don't have to be single sided and sit with their back against the wall. Columnar rotating book shelves are great for saving space while still holding a good variety of different books.
Playroom Storage
Many items of furniture include some form of storage. Benches are one of the most obvious choices because they can have the equivalent room of a decent sized toy box but they will usually also have a cushioned seat and back so that they are more comfortable than a plain wooden box to sit on.
