Kids today have an almost endless array of things to keep them busy - and that array can seem to reach epic, infinite heights when strewn about a small space. But keeping kids' rooms tidy doesn't have to be an intimidating task; the market also offers a number of kids storage bench solutions for even the most active child's toy collection.
Storage Benches
Toy boxes come into the 21st century with modern bedroom storage benches that double as catch-alls and cozy resting spots. Pick one big enough to hold odd-shaped items, such as balls or toy trucks, with a cushy padded top for appropriate for afternoon reading once toys are safely tucked away.
Closets
Long the favored storage area of any room, closets are still essential to organization. Children don't have the hanging items adults do, so maximize a closet's storage capabilities with low-lying shelves and kid-sized dressers for clothes, shoes, and small toys.
Under-the-Bed Units
If your child's bed doesn't have a storage trundle attached, look for long, low storage units that can slide easily under the bed. Keep seasonal clothing, hand-me-downs, and crafty keepsakes out of sight - and clear of dust - in air-tight containers.

Overhead Units
Just as you can stash items under a bed, you can suspend plush toys and light balls or sporting equipment in a hanging storage net.
Shelves
Finally, don't discount the storage power of a traditional shelving unit, whether standard-size or mounted close to the ceiling. Wicker baskets, decorative and clear plastic boxes can be labeled and tucked safely away next to books, stuffed animals, and dolls.
