“Mom, I can’t find my shoes!” “Dad, where’s my backpack?” How many times a week do you hear these and similar cries? Probably more than you’d care to count. These frantic pleas for help can be heard daily in homes across America. Families late, children missing busses, parents stressed—all due to a serious lack of organization. Kid closet organizers can help.

Most homes do not offer adequate closet space, especially in children’s rooms. The space they do provide is often poorly designed, offering only one rod and a top shelf. With an effective closet organizer, however, you can actually double the storage capacity of your closet.

Closet organizers for children’s rooms are available in a variety of fun colours, such as bright primaries and pretty pastels. Traditional white and wood colours are also available. Organizers can be found to match most any décor, including popular children’s characters.

Like regular closet organizers, child closet organizers are available in a variety of materials, such as wood, laminate, metal, and wire. Some organizers are even made of durable cloth canvas.

Kid closet organizers can be purchased as closet organizer kits or systems. Kits are designed for either the budget conscience or the do-it-yourself. Starting at $20, they contain everything needed for the closet. You simply choose the correct size and the desired components. Choices include such things as single or double garment rack, shelves, shoe cubbies, drawers, wall hooks, toy bins, and baskets. Assembly is required. Some kits are made of durable plastic and simply snap together; others will require tools.

Child closet organizers are also available as closet organizer systems. Systems are fully assembled. You simply measure the space, choice the components, and put in place.

Closet organizers can be floor-based or wall-mounted. Floor-based units give a built-in look, while wall-mounted systems keep the floor clear.

With a well-designed closet organizer, your child’s closet can be neat and orderly—no matter your budget.
