Although child's clothes are adorably small and fun to put on your little ones, they’re a nightmare to organise on tiny hangers and inevitably end up all over the floor. And unlike other closets throughout the home, a child's closet is typically smaller.
Organising all those tiny shoes, socks, and dress-up clothes can be a real challenge, but with these step-by-step tips and inspiring photos, your next DIY project will be a breeze.

Built-In Storage
One way to reduce visual clutter is to contain it. Even with a narrow closet, built vertically to the ceiling you are able to use every square inch of the space, and it looks effortlessly pulled together
Colour Coordinate
When you pull similar items together, it visually reduces the chaos, and it's so much easier to pick out and choose what you need.
Use a Clothing Rack
If you feel like you're picking up costumes all the time, you're not alone. Instead of storing them in the closet, opt for a freestanding clothing rack. You can keep the dress-up clothes and props organised. This way, they'll be just as easy to put away as they are to pick out.

Utilise the Top Shelf
If the closet in your playroom or your kid's room is taller than it is wide, build an extra top shelf for baskets that house other essentials so the floor space can be dedicated to the toy basket they can reach.
Make It Easily Accessible
If you have the space for a walk-in kid's closet, don't load up your clothing racks with items. Keep outfits paired together and make sure you can see everything at a glance.

Store Stuffed Animals
You know how much your children love their stuffed animals, but over time their collection can overwhelm their floor space. To help contain the clutter, repurpose a shoe organiser to hold all those cuddly stuffed animals and help keep their bedroom tidy.
