Toy storage solutions - 7 of the best ideas

If your home resembles Santa’s workshop after a particularly busy shift, bring order to toyland with stylish, décor-friendly solutions adaptable for tots through to teens

Utilise redundant space

Be inventive and turn disused space into clever storage. Even though this handsome surround is no longer home to a fire, it provides the perfect nook for some neat shelving. ‘Boxes or baskets in easily accessible, low-level areas are easy to reach for small children, and so can help to encourage them to tidy up after themselves,' says Carolyn Robinson, director of interiors at interior architecture and design company FT2.

‘You could also label boxes with pictures of that particular toy to help young children learn where they are stored.'
