Space Saving Tip #1 - Peg Boards
For all of those toys in your child's room that don't really have a place to call home, a creative way to save space and eliminate clutter is to purchase an inexpensive peg board. Paint it the accent colour of your childs' room and then neatly hang all those odds and ends. Examples may be things such as barbie accessories or stuffed animals that seem to be all over the place. For smaller items, find a cloth tote bag, place items inside and then hang on pegs. For stuffed animals, you could also use a tote bag to put them all in or you could hang some individually that have some type of neck collar or tag. This colorful peg board becomes an attractive piece on your childs wall, allowing them to see all their toys and have an easier time choosing what they'd like to play with. Another great thing to hang up would be sports equipment. Baseball bats, baseball gloves, hats, etc.

Space Saving Tip #2 - Storage Crates
Fully maximizing the space in your child's room means trying to find furniture that serves multi-purposes. A great example of this is to get a wooden crate, 4 caster wheels, a small piece of plywood or particle board and a piece of fabric that accents the room. Attach caster wheels to bottom of crate. Then have plywood cut to the opening size of the crate. Next wrap top of plywood with the fabric, using a stapler to fasten to the underside of the plywood. If you would like a more cushioned top, first wrap with a medium thickness foam before fastening fabric.
There you have it. A perfect storage place for toys or puzzles or books and also a little seat. If you like, you can paint the wooden crate to match the room.
Space Saving Tip #3 - Simple Mug Rack
A simple mug rack, hung low in the child's room, can serve as a hitching post for miscellaneous possessions, such as belts, hats, necklaces, and gloves. A great place to hang the rack would be on the back of or behind the bedroom door. Belts, hats, ect are neatly organized but out of sight.
Space Saving Tip #4 - Covered Toy Boxes
If you're in the market for a good-size stuff holder, steer clear of the uncovered toy boxes you'll come across in many stores. They just collect dust in addition to an unsightly jumble of toys and books that eventually spills onto the floor. Choose clear plastic boxes with snap-on lids. They allow your children to see what's inside. They also make great space maximizers, since most are stackable.
Space Saving Tip #5 - Kid Friendly Storage
Consider purchasing open-front stackable bins that will keep toys off the floor where they might cause someone to trip, yet let kids retrieve playthings without assistance. Stackable units are a blessing if your child has more toys than one bin can hold.
Tow toys that don't get daily use in a large plastic box. Because kids can always keep an eye on the contents, they probably won't protest. Stash boxes of second-string toys in the back of a closet or under a bed.
Consider an attractive toy chest to house frequently used toys. It can also be a sturdy seat for parents to sit on while helping kids get dressed in the morning. But make sure the chest has a lightweight or removable lid that won't slam down and hurt a child.
Shallow wicker baskets, the kind adults use to sort mail, are equally efficient for storing toy soldiers, action figures, and stray dinosaurs. For added kid appeal, purchase baskets in bright, eye-popping colors.
