Most of us can use some tips for getting organized, especially when it comes to organizing kids´ rooms, because kids' rooms are infamous for being disaster areas. While this is a normal symptom of childhood, it mostly comes from not having everything set up in an easy to access manner. Children are just not good at keeping organized rooms and putting things up, so you want to make it fun and interesting, and most importantly, easy. This article will give several house organizing tips, and in particular, ideas on how to go about integrating a little organization into your childrens´ rooms.
1) Kids´ rooms can be a real nightmare to get organized, just because of the sheer number of books, toys, and various other things that they have accumulated over time. So, the first step is to search through everything and remove at least half of it. Throw out anything that is broken and/or useless, give away anything and everything that no one plays with any longer and hasn't in years, and move on to the task of organizing the rest.

2) A really good way to keep kids' rooms organized and free of clutter is to use clear plastic containers with colored lids. Toys like blocks and fast food chain toy characters can be stashed away in these clear containers, along with games and other materials. Although you can label the boxes, the most effective way to go is to color code them. You can place all shared toys in boxes with red lids, all of your son's toys in blue-topped containers, and your daughter's toys in pink-topped boxes. This is a very effective method to use in organizing and keeping everything sorted out, especially in kids´ rooms that are shared.
3) Ziploc bags are great for keeping small bits and little trinkets that just can not be thrown away. Beads and marbles are good prospects for the Ziploc treatment.
4) For really small items like seed beads, pins and other miscellaneous miniature items, you can keep them in individual baby food jars. Childrens´ rooms tend to amass these sorts of things, so you may as well find a place for them. Building sets can benefit greatly from just a few baby food jars to keep nails and screws.
5) One of the best tips for getting organized involves placing a plastic shoe organizer on the back of the door. It is a perfect way to give kids´ rooms a little surplus storage space without spending any money on furniture. The clear pockets are just the right size to hold stuffed animals, dolls and their clothing, and any number of assorted medium-sized toys.
6) Under bed space is commonly used in the kids' rooms, but only to hide away messes! Turn that blank space into something useful by buying rolling containers that are designed to go under a bed. Not only will you have less dust bunnies to get rid of, but you will have the perfect place to store puzzles and floor mats, or out-of-season clothing and bedding for kids´ rooms.
7) Colorful hooks on the wall are another nifty addition to kids´ rooms. Instead of being pressured to put away jackets, purses and bags, they can easily hang them from a hook and you'll be thrilled that the room looks much more organized and neater. If you get a hook unit that also comes with a shelf or basket attached to it, you will have extra storage space for more small-scale items as well.
Kids´ rooms are never going to be spic-and-span for long, but at least you can put a dent in the chaos! All of the suggested ideas and tips for getting organized above are just right for any kids´ room and work just as well for boys and girls.
