8 diy storage ideas for kids’ rooms and nurseries

The best kinds of DIY projects are the ones that don’t look handmade. They’re the ones that blend in so seamlessly and look so natural that you’d think they were purchased from a store. Everything in this roundup is inspired by wood and simple in design, which is generally what I’ve been gravitating towards for my own nursery decor. Take a look around and see if there’s anything here that might inspire your decor or next DIY project. 

1. Do you lack closet space or are you just fed up with traditional wardrobes? How about hanging your kids’ clothing from a great big branch like this one? I’m amazed by how a little resourcefulness can create something so beautiful and useful.
2. This mountain-shaped shelf is the perfect detail to those white walls. You could also paint the tops of the mountains to really stand out, but in this case, they have chosen a natural wood style which is soft and beautiful.
3. These storage boxes are functional as well as decorative. You could use them for blankets, toys, diapers, books or even store crafting materials like markers, paper and crayons. The storage options are endless.
4. Here we have a super simple DIY storage option using a wood plaque and a mismatched collection of painted hooks. Hang coats, hats, clothes, whatever you like! Or use it as a dress up station for dresses, purses and jewelry for your little lady.
5. Kids’ shelves can be so much more than basic pieces of furniture that hold books or toys. The key is to create something surprising and decorative yet still functional like this one, which is a great option to show off their little trinkets or special items.
6. Every house has the same problem – there isn’t enough space for toys, it doesn’t matter how many baskets, boxes or closets you have. This is why we need good ideas to keep everything organized. In this kids’ room, they have created wonderful wooden cubbies for all the toys and books.
7. This one is by far my favorite. I mean, come on, it’s awesome! The house-like doors hide clutter and it could even act as a mini modern dollhouse. Using a plain cabinet, craft your own by tracing and cutting out simple window, door and roof shapes.
8. Here’s another great option for book storage. It’s perfect because it shows the covers of the books in a very attractive way. Plus, kids can easily browse through their books without taking them all out of the bin.

There you have it! Eight super cute and fun DIY storage ideas for kids’ rooms and nurseries all inspired by wood. My fingers are practically itching to start making one of these! I hope these projects and ideas get your creative juices flowing too.
