I am looking for storage that can hold DD's very large collection of toys. Her books are
Kept seperately so it's just toys, huge collection of soft toys, lots of big plastic (crap) stuff such as pirate ships, hoover, washing machine etc. she has alot of small and tiny stuff too, like pieces of a game etc, and art stuff so I'm at a loss how to organise all this!

At the moment, it's all piled into ikea bags and one of those huge checked zipped bags you can buy from pound shop and such Blush

She has a fairly good sized room. Im looking for something that will organise, store and also look good too.

Recommendation much appreciated Smile

Shelves and wicker or kiddy style baskets?

A mesh hangy thing from idea for the soft toys?

We have the wooden cubes from Argos that take standard plastic crates, great toe big stuff. DD2 has shelves with shoe boxes she did herself for playmobile people.

If you have space and money I would buy lined baskets in several sizes and build custom shelves, narrow at the top, working to large at the bottom.

Make the shelves adjustable and pine or painted so you can move them and add another when she's older.
Books and art materials tend to replace big stuff over the years.

A big wooden toy box and some tub trugs do the trick for us!
And lots of plastic crates with lids, all different size, but all stackable. All have a place to go!

I've tried baskets but id need dozens of baskets and shelves and we don't have that much wall space in DDs room...

I'm not a huge fan of mesh hangy stuff or them corner mesh things. Grin

Can anyone give links please so I can see how big they are?

I bought a large wicker trunk for childrens toys years ago , children grown up so now have divided it into 3 sections for laundry - whites/darks and coloured laundry.
