1. Affordable, tough drawers
If you have children who tend to play rough and you want something that will last for years, choose a practical solution that won’t break the bank. These toy storage ideas are perfect for bedrooms and playrooms where they’ll get the most use.
With 4 roomy drawers, this 4 drawer storage tower made with sturdy black plastic makes the ideal toy storage solution. As well as having a simple pattern to give them a modern look, the drawers are easy to move around when empty, meaning you can place them wherever they are needed most without struggling. Drawer units like this are excellent when you’re on a budget or want furniture that can be re-used in different settings in the future.
Remember to anchor cabinets and drawers to your walls to prevent them tipping over.
2. Convenient and spacious lidded boxes
Functional and perfect for the space conscious, lidded boxes can be stacked up against walls to limit their footprint, making them perfect for smaller homes. They are great for storing toys that aren’t used very often or play sets that have dozens of easy to lose parts, and often have lids that are easy for your little ones to open up and help themselves.

4. Colour coded storage
Colour coding your storage is fantastic if you’re organising toys for multiple children. Give each child their own colour boxes and bags to make clean-up at the end of the day easier than ever before.
These spacious 80L storage boxes come in bright red, green and blue.
3. Hidden toy storage cubes
When you’re limited on space, toys can start to take over your house quite quickly. Choosing hidden toy storage means you can tuck away the building blocks and dolls without leaving a trace when you’re having guests over, without keeping them too out of the way. Storage cubes are perfect for hiding toys in plain sight; utilise an existing bookcase or TV unit to play host to your cubes and use them to keep toys organised.
4. Easy to access baskets
Baskets are a versatile way to store toys, keeping them tidy and organised whilst leaving their contents easy to get to. The wonderful thing about baskets is they can be placed in many different locations, so whether you want something that can be tucked away neatly in a cupboard, or stacked up in the corner of a room, they are exactly what you might need. A large pink patterned basket would look wonderful in a bedroom or playroom.
5. Under bed, out of sight storage
If out of sight, out of mind is your storage style, under the bed storage boxes could be the best toy storage idea for you. They are spacious enough to keep a lot of toys in them, whilst being lightweight and easy to pull out from under the bed.
6. Use sleek, compact trays
Shallow, multipurpose organiser trays are ideal for storing smaller toys, building blocks, and craft activities. Pull out a few trays at a time to keep your children entertained. Then easily re-organise them to put them away at the end of the day.
Keep toys organised, for good!
Keeping toys tidy and put away may seem like a never-ending battle, but by choosing the right toy storage solutions, you can make it a battle that you win!
