Soft toy storage

Hi all.

I need inspiration for a place for ds's soft toys. He won't keep them on the bottom of his bed do they end up all over his room.

Not got a lot of floor space so wondering what options there are??

I have this problem. But Dd's have crept from the bed and bred all over her room. There is apparently a teddy storage hanging thing from ikea. It hangs from the ceiling and has lots of compartments for teds.

Sorry Olivia I seen them, they look good but they're really long and won't suit his room.

I don't work for ikea, I just went yesterday so It's fresh in my mind Grin
I got a trofast unit for toys but it's not great for soft toys as they're so bulky.

They're brilliant. And it even makes a game out of tidying soft toys as you lob them in from all over the room.

What about just a big cargo type net you can put on the ceiling or a wall

I have one of those overdoor coat hooks (like this www.clasohlson.com/uk/Over-The-Door-Hanger/31-4390-4?gclid=CPfRyrTLgs0CFa0W0wodc1kKAw) with long handled cloth bags hanging off it full of soft toys- you just have to make sure you knot the handles so they can't get their head in them and hang themselves and I deliberately bought a cheap flimsy one so it would break under their weight.
I also have a 'toy hammock' that hangs higher up the wall - like this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/111987731842?lpid=122&chn=ps&googleloc=1007345&poi=&campaignid=220881786&device=c&adgroupid=13936810266&rlsatarget=pla-156018253746&adtype=pla&crdt=0 so DC needed to ask to get one out of there (can reach now!) mine was smaller than I expected so check out the sizes and I also needed to move it from the corner to flat on the wall (so held even less)
I stopped them having hundreds on their beds as I spent my life picking them up off the floor and it made changing sheets harder work than it needed to be...

something like this? Looks deep enough to put lots of animals 'to bed'
