All those cute little clothes, carefully folded, lined up in color-coordinated perfection — do you remember that day, likely before your baby was born, when you gazed upon that Instagram-worthy scene? As the daily requirements of life pile on top of the realities that come with children who like to choose their own clothes and need to learn how to put them away themselves, we're guessing you're not quite ready to let your followers on social media see the reality that is now your child's dresser drawers. Don't worry, though: we're here to help.
The KonMari Folding Method
Seriously, this one is a game-changer, folks! Basically, it's a vertical, rather than horizontal, method of folding and organizing your clothing. Not only does it allow you to see all your options at once, but it keeps your clothing free from wrinkles and saves space! Check out this video on YouTube to see how shirts are folded the KonMari way. As described on this blog, the general theory behind it is that since "the presentation is more aesthetically pleasing ... you're more likely to keep everything in your drawers folded properly." Now, your toddler may not have quite the same desire to create beauty in dresser drawers, but the fact remains that with all the options visible, there's no need to upset an entire stack of T-shirts to get to the favorite with the puppy on it!
Dividers of All Shapes and Sizes
Whether you prefer the above-mentioned blogger's idea of using pretty organizational containers or Marie Kondo's philosophy of using things you already have like shoe boxes, the basic concept is the same. And it might be even more important when organizing children's clothing, especially if you have very large dresser drawers. Even if you have the drawer space to fit all your child's clothing, by using the KonMari folding method, you'll save drawer space, potentially allowing you to store all your child's clothing at a level where he or she can safely and easily reach and see it. The more you choose to store in a single drawer, the more you'll want to consider adding dividers to keep sections neat and tidy.
Well-Designed Bedroom Furniture
Of course, the aesthetic appeal of your child's bedroom relies quite heavily on the furniture you choose. When you choose quality furniture, you're ensuring your child's bedroom will be a place of beauty and order for years to come. Many of the furniture collections from The Bedroom Source — such as the Arianna Collection for girls and Taylor Collection for boys - include removable partitions for drawers. Other pieces include added practical elements as well such as built-in lights and charging stations.
