1. Two (or three) levels of hanging rods.
"Kids are lucky enough to be shorter than adults,"says Adams. "This makes it possible for them to utilize their space more efficiently!" Instead of one row of hanging rods, like most adult closets, they can use two or three. Install multiple rows to give them access to their clothes and create more room. Is the higher hanging rod out of reach? Utilize it for storing those items you may not want your child to have free access to.
2. Stepping Stool.
Have them pick out a fun stool they love and use it as a fun part of cleaning up. "Kids love climbing up and down stepping stools to access out-of-reach spaces."
3. Color.
"Adding color to a kid's closet will give it personality." Pick a fun hue that your child will love.
4. Hamper.
"Having a hamper makes it easy for a child to keep dirty clothes organized!" Make a game of it from the start and it will become a part of their routine.
5. Wall Hooks.
These help utilize the extra wall space not covered by rods and shelving. Plus, it's "great book bag storage," says Adams. Added bonus: set aside a special hook for hanging the next day's clothes up.
6. Junk Drawer.
Ok, well not junk, but a drawer for pencils, erasers and miscellaneous school supplies is a must have for every scholarly child!
7. Pull-Down Rods.
This is a great solution for smaller closets. "These [rods] make clothes hung high accessible from the ground with the push of a button!" Not only does this give the child a whole other level of storage without climbing too high, it gives them the responsibility of tidying up or getting dressed without having to ask for your help.
8. A designated spot for shoes.
"Pullout shelves or shoe cubbies make storing children's shoes easy!" Goodbye, digging through seemingly endless bins!
9. Shallow drawers.
"Shallow drawers are much easier to keep organized than deep drawers," and everything is easier to see.
10. Kids' Hangers.
"Some children's clothing falls off hangers made for adults. Simple solution: buy kids hangers that are size appropriate."
