Kids's Room
The Problem. Face it, it's the kids. No matter how many shelves are in their room, chances are they're not going to use them. So their toys, video games and other stuff end up all over the floor. The Fix
- Toy Hammocks: These fabric hammocks string across any corner, storing large numbers of stuffed animals on otherwise unused wall space. "I was tripping over my kids' animals every time I made the bed," says Marrero. "This makes it easier for kids to put them away." They may even make a game of tossing them in there.
- Lidless Plastic Bins: These colorful plastic bins pull out like drawers. Store them at kid-level on shelves for easy access. "No-lid bins are best-kids can just reach in," says McKenry. "A lot of times kids aren't going to open a lid. It's an extra barrier. You want to make things as easy as possible."
- DVD Wallets: There's no reason for your kids' DVDs to take up tons of space. Stick scores of them in disc wallets that measure just a few inches wide.
