Your children love to play dress up. In fact, they love it so much they dress-up almost daily, and then every evening dress-ups are scattered across your floors...
Sound familiar? You may need a dress-up storage option that is more child-friendly. Perhaps you don't even have storage for those Cinderella dresses yet! Storing dress-up clothes doesn't have to be headache. This guide will help you determine what type of storage option you need so that you can find the best dress-up clothes option for your family.
Childrens Storage Beds
Grab a pen and jot down your answers to these next questions. This will help you get a general idea on what you're looking for.
1. How often are the dress-ups used? If they are used on a regular basis, you will need to store them in a playroom or bedroom. You'll probably be looking for a storage option with visual appeal. If the dress ups aren't used very often, you can store them in stackable plastic tubs in a garage or closet shelf.
2. How many dress ups do you have? Do you have every one of Cinderella's dresses or just a few princess costumes?
3. Do you need to store general dress-ups or are you looking for a more organized option?
Now that we've looked at the basics, it's time to get ideas.
Under-the-bed tubs: Whether your storing Cinderella, Snow White, or Sleeping Beauty dresses, it doesn't matter. These slim storage tubs are great if you are low on space and don't have too many dress-ups. Pick up a few of these and label them for an organized storage option. This is also one of the most economical storage options. Pros: Cheap, organized, doesn't take up any extra space. Cons: Each tub can only store a few items. Note: tub options do not allow you to hang those princess dresses.
Storage Chest: Cedar chests in particular offer a great visual appeal and a fair amount of storage. If your dress-ups aren't used on a weekly basis, try a chest that will get more air like a white wicker chest. Otherwise, just make sure that the wooden chest is stored in a dry place! Pros: Visually appealing, large, protects clothes. Cons: Takes up space, doesn't allow clothes to be organized. Note: tub options do not allow you to hang those princess dresses
Dress up Armoires: These can be purchase online or at particular toy or furniture stores. Call around to see if any stores near you carry them so you can see what they look like. Typically these have hooks, drawers, and mirrors assembled on them in a child-friendly way. Pros: Organized, visually appealing, easy to use. Cons: Often expensive, difficult to find.
DIY Dress up Armoire: If you're looking for all the conveniences of a dress-up armoire without the price tag, this may be a good option for you. Purchase individual closet storage pieces and assemble them together. Try using cubbies, large cubicles, and coat racks. Purchase some coat hooks and mirrors and add them in the cubicles and rack area. Don't forget to pick up some baskets for the cubbies! Pros: Customizable, visual appeal, easy for child to use Cons: Hassle of finding and putting together the furniture
Plastic Tubs: These are simple, economical, and fairly simple for children to use. But what you save in money you pay for in visual appeal! These are a good option if your child has a large closet that these can be stored in. Pros: Cheap, customizable, organized (if you purchase a couple with smaller sized ones for accessories) Cons: May not last as long, not visually appealing. Note: tub options do not allow you to hang those princess dresses.
