Types of Toy Organizers

As you browse our collection, consider how each item can help organize toys, games and more:

• Toy chest. Toy chests are great for storing large and bulky items, like board games, extra throw pillows or stuffed animals. Some toy chests come with an open top, and others feature a lid to keep the room looking neat and tidy.
• Wall pocket. When you're low on floor space, opt for a sturdy wall pocket to stash loose items like crayons, stuffed animals and action figures. Thanks to the wall pocket's clear design, it's easy to see just what's inside.
• Bookcase. Bookcases make it easy to sort picture books, chapter books and magazines. Ours are designed to hold larger items, too, thanks to their deep bins and wide shelves.
• Wall systems and hutches. Maximize the storage potential of any space with a large wall unit. Designed with ample open shelves, plus a cabinet or two, these furniture options ensure that you'll have no trouble storing a variety of toys and books.
• Storage baskets and hampers. Add a touch of boho style to your kid's room or playroom with our woven storage baskets. They're great for storing extra linens and stuffed animals or as a hamper.

Designing a Kid's Bedroom or Playroom

After you've selected what type of kids toy storage essentials you want, think about what color schemes, styles and materials you prefer. Choose from versatile, neutral colors like our white playroom furniture or go for natural hues with our wicker storage units. Primary colors add a distinctly kid-approved touch, such as our bold blue, red or yellow toy box chest or modern console.

Toy organizers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Choose from classic toy chest designs made with crisp angles and rectangular shapes. Explore mid-century furniture options, such as our hutch, bookcase and toy chest. Each features tapered legs and an angular base. Bring convenience front and center with a toy chest made with caster wheels that allow you to move it around the room.

Add a touch of whimsy to your storage essentials with shaped woven baskets and hampers that are crafted in fun animal designs like an elephant, giraffe or fox. Add a celestial spin to organizing with a cloud-shaped wall pocket or invite depth and dimension with a ladder-inspired bookcase.

Don't forget about materials. Several of the kids toy storage items are part of our wood playroom furniture collection. Kiln-dried wood furniture adds durability. Clear acrylic wall pockets allow you and your child to see exactly what's inside. Woven hampers and storage baskets bring natural texture front and center. Woven materials include options like abaca and water hyacinth.

Other Must-Haves For a Kid's Bedroom or Playroom

After you've selected your kids toy storage essentials, consider what else you might need to round out the look and feel of their space. Start with chairs and beanbags. Choose from comfy swivel chairs and soft beanbag chairs. Add a custom touch to one of our Anywhere Chairs by personalizing it with your child's name. Don't forget to add one of our durable playroom-ready rugs for a cozy, inviting look they'll love. Ours come in kid-friendly designs, vibrant prints and soft textures -- perfect for playing on. Choose from rectangular, round and novelty shapes.

As you set up their room with a bookcase and a wall system, consider adding a set of play and craft tables and chairs. Having a kid-sized table is a great way to encourage crafting, drawing or playing board games. When they're all done, place their art supplies, games or drawing pads in one of your new toy organizers. It's all here at West Elm Kids.
