Need an efficient/tidy way of organising a girl's room - help please

[Earlybird]

DD is 6, and has accumulated alot of girly 'stuff'. At the moment, we are overflowing with jewelry (little bracelets/necklaces), dressing up tiaras/crowns, hats, scarves, hairbands/clips/ribbons, belts, etc.

I'm sure some of you have found a sensible and tidy way of storing all these bits & bobs so that they are organised and reasonably accessible. Please can you share your secret, because at the moment it's all a jumbled mess.....and yes, space is an issue, so the solution is unfortunately not a bulky storage thing with lots of drawers...

DD is currently sorting out her bedroom, and chucking things out, so I'll be watching this with interest - could do with some ideas too. Currently have an old shoe box for jewellery, plus a small jewellery box for the few more 'precious' bits (watch, mostly). Also a larger box with a lid for all the hair stuff, but it's a right jumble of stuff. I did buy her a vanity case at Christmas from Primark - £3, but she's using it for the bits of creams, make up (for dressing up only) etc she's accumulated.

Under bed roll-out drawers?

If she has a chest of drawers, could you emptly one and use that?

What about something that can hang on the back of her bedroom door, or the front of a wardrobe?

door hanging organiser thing?

this is a bit expensive, but an idea?

another one here

what about something like this or This which are not too bulky and you could also put draw dividers in.

Boo, sorry have to post to be abletosign in

There are some good ideas here. Thanks for links.

I also was thinking about some sort of variation on a horizontal coat hook/rack type thing - not very articulate, but maybe you know what I mean?

Bumping for other ideas please....

oh yes, peg rack / hook racks very good for hairbands, hats, scarves, belts etc, and small ones v good for jewellery also.

Sounds silly but at the moment Tesco have peg racks meant for organising tools, craft supplies etc - like a big grid about 30x60cm with hooks and things you can attach to it and hang things off

Does your dd have loads of little bags/handbags, and dressing up dresses too?

My dd (age 4) does, and I am going to put a shaker style peg rack along one of her walls (a peg rail with a shelf above) from which I can hang her dressing up clothes, her bags, in some of the bags I am putting hairbands/tiaras etc, and on the shelf I can put some of her little ornaments, photoframe etc...

done this last week funnily enough but with ds;s bedroom
I gut it at first and pull everyhting out and then put it all away again but properly.
I use roses tins or biscuit tins from crimbo for all the odds and sods.
I store toys in a box
and make sure clothes are put away too.
good luck

peegeeweegee - what exactly does a 'shaker style peg rack' look like? Can you post a link please?

This sort of thing - scroll down for the ones with a shelf above (called school ones, in the link)

Thanks for that JackieNo - I am useless at links!

That is indeed the sort of thing. I have been meaning to get dh to make one for ages, then I will paint it pink (essential in dd's room).

Just looked at the link again. The one I am hoping dh will make is the Shaker Style Heart Peg rail which is below the school one in the link. I think the difference is that there is less of a gap between the peg rail and the shelf.

I am going for a narrow shelf and run it almost all the way along one wall.

That shaker style thing looks great, but pricey. Was hoping for something in between the practical but charmless (at least for a little girl) workmen's tool pegboard, and the shaker designer peg/shelf at £165!

Get someone to make the shaker peg rail. B&Q do lenghths of shaker peg rail (just the rail and pegs) for not very much money. You can paint it any colour that would fit in with your dd's room. Then buy ordinary ready made shelves in the same lenght of your peg rail, paint as required and fasten above the peg rail.

The ones on the link are expensive, but homemade ones are really just the cost of the wood and paint...
I am certainly not spending that sort of money on one - hopefully dh will make one, and I will paint it...

I screwed lots of little hooks in neatly spaced rows on the back of the wardrobe doors.

It's housing all the necklaces, bracelets, rings, belts etc and is tidily hidden away but easily accessible and nothing gets burried, tangled or forgotten.

I've done similar as supersox but with adhesive hooks - think they are normally used for net curtain poles?

The inside of my wardrobe doors are also covered in them for my jewellery as well - top tip from a Trinny & Suzanna book!
