Playrooms are notoriously difficult to keep clean, but these simple projects will go a long way in making yours clutter-free.

DIY tips

A play room totally free of clutter is much like a unicorn: almost definitely mythical and if you ever witness one you are obligated to Instagram it. While shooting for perfection in your play room may be a pipe dream, these five projects will at least buy you some time between games of “52 Toy Pick-Up”.

Use Hanging Planters as Toy Storage

Looking for a solution for all those kids books and stuffed animals? Look no further than your local hardware store! Hang a few garden planters low on the wall and your little ones will be able to see and sort the contents more easily.

It’s important for each piece in your play room to be multi-functional, even the seats. These DIY Rolling Stools from Shanty 2 Chic are a quick solution if you know your way around a bottle of superglue. In a pinch, rolling ottomans with storage can double as play stools.

Color Code Your Legos

Legos

Legos are inarguably one of the best toys to foster creativity, but step on one with barefeet and you’ll wish they never existed. Incentivize Lego clean-up by color coding a few storage bins. Not only will it make easier for your children to find the right brick while building, but sorting them at the end of play time becomes an educational game of its own.
