If you haven’t heard of the Stuff n’ Sit, it’s a super cool option for stuffed animal storage!

Basically you stuff it with all the stuffed animals lying around, and it becomes a bean bag chair.

The Stuff n’ Sit measures 38 inches in diameter when full. It holds about 90 plush toys, so you’ll never have to get rid of their stuffed animal friends in lieu of space.

Don’t have that many stuffed animals? It also holds extra pillows and blankets!

Here’s an example of the traditional playroom storage that we all know and love!

A cubby system with baskets and open shelves for books – perfect for decluttering your kids space.

If you’re a mama who only has time to throw everything in the baskets once per day, this will work perfectly for you.

The only downside is small parts tend to not stay together, so if you’re looking for better organization, pull out drawers with labels may be a better storage solution for you.

The top shelves can’t be reached by tiny hands so those baskets are perfect for rotating toys.

You can even hide new toys from Christmas that you want to phase in over the next few months.

Built In Open Wall Storage

If you have the budget, we love the polished look of built in wall storage.

This one is unique because it’s all open shelf storage, which will cost you a lot less than full cabinetry.

Here’s a nice compromise if your budget is limited.

This playroom has a closed storage unit on the bottom and open shelving on top.

We love how the cabinetry doubles as a long bench for playroom seating for kids, parents or grandparents!

If you’re planning a new build, you’ll have an opportunity to add in full built in cabinetry.

What I love about this option is how sophisticated it looks, and that you can convert this room into a second living space once you know longer need a dedicated playroom.

Playroom Storage for Art and Craft Supplies

Rolling Cart for Storing Art Supplies

Struggling to find an organized way to store your child’s art supplies?

Use a rolling cart to display them all neatly and vertically.

Large bins are great but they do not work for something like art supplies.

Bonus points that you can easily roll it around their room to a kids table!

Small Pull Out Drawers for Art Supplies

Book Storage Ideas for Your Kids Playroom

Wire Baskets for Book Storage

Mounting wire baskets to the wall for book storage is something unique you don’t see often. It’s a nice change from the typical book shelves you usually see!

Another great idea – make them your own by spray painting them. Use another color that matches the rest of your playroom – like gold, pink, mint, baby blue, white or even rose gold.
