Other storage solutions

- Under-the-bed storage drawers (especially those with wheels) are great for out-of-season clothes or treasured school/art papers.
- Don't forget the valuable space behind doors, including the inside of the closet door. Using the backside of a door is a great way to store additional items while getting them out of sight.
- Shelf units designed for the pantry can work in the bedroom as a home for games and books.
- Multi-level closet rods are the only way to go in a child's closet. You can empower your child to have more autonomy by giving him or her access to their own clothing.
- You may also want to use different-coloured hangers for each child, if more than one child uses the closet.

Where do I find this bedroom for my daughter?
looks like from the Restoration Hardware kids catalogue.
This is what my daughter wants for her bedroom, but how do I make it fit into a smaller room?

Where do I find this bedroom for my daughter? Also how do I fit it into a smaller bedroom? Thank you. :)
These tips are great, however, what if you have an 8 year old pack rat for a daughter??? That room rocks...but my daughter would have every inch of the shelf filled with collected things that she simply CAN'T throw out...I don't know where she gets it from either...no one in our house does this. She insists it should all be recycled into crafts and such, she doesn't want us filling up dumps. She thinks she is saving the environment. Any suggestions?

I LOVE THIS ROOM! If you have a pack rat, go through and purge while the child is at school. Most of the time, they don't miss anything. Even when my 5 year old notices something is gone, once I say it is gone (firmly) she doesn't split hairs about it...
