Storage for Kids Rooms

Finding enough storage in children’s bedrooms can be tough, but if you buy furniture and accessories with storage in mind, you should be able to find plenty of storage for kids rooms.

My daughters, 8, are twins and naturally enjoy sharing a room together. So, when I chose the children’s furniture for their room, I chose children’s furniture that would give us the most space as possible for storing their things.

Their room  is fairly large, but not that big, considering that we must fit two twin beds in there, a dresser, and as many places as possible to stash all their toys.

So, I chose the Lily Rose Collection, Twin Mates bed, which is available from Amazon.com. The twin bed frames, at $165 each, are fairly affordable, and offer three large drawers for storage underneath.

We purchased our children’s storage beds, which are made from South Shore Furniture, from Amazon.com, and got free shipping, which is a great deal, since shipping for large furniture items can be expensive!

My husband put the South Shore Furniture twin storage beds together for us, and he actually marveled at how well made the beds are, and how simple they were to put together. I like the light wood tones of the twin storage beds, their Shaker style and the pretty flower pulls on the drawers. I also like that they are made from composite wood carrying the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, which means that they are eco friendly.

Storage for books, toys

To add more storage to the room, we added Lily Collection Bookcase headboards (at about $90 each) behind their beds, which gives my daughters’ a place to store their favorite books and their favorite treasures. I love looking at those headboard bookcases to see how each daughter has decorated it, as each daughter has added her own special touches and treasures to her bookcases, making it truly her own.

We also bought the Lily Rose Collection, 5 Drawer Chest(in romantic pine) at about $169,  for the room, and the dresser gives us ample room to store their clothes.

We’ve had the storage beds for over a year, and they are holding up excellently. The only problem we’ve experienced so far is that one of the three drawer knobs on one of the beds becomes loose occasionally, causing the pretty flower drawer pull to fall off.

I’ve allowed my daughters to put store items of their own choosing in the drawers under their twin beds, so it gives both girls a place to keep their most treasured stuffed animals, toys and art supplies.

I was going to go with bunk rooms for their bedroom, but I am glad that I didn’t, because should my daughters decide they want their own rooms when they get older, they can take these twin storage beds with them, and I won’t have to invest in new furniture – which is always a good thing! If my daughters decide they want more adult pulls on the dresser or bed drawers, or want to switch them out to change the style of the furniture, changing the pulls should be easy enough.
