Two walls were covered with painted paneling. The first idea we had was to eliminate the need for a dresser by finding an elevated bed with drawers underneath. Many people prefer a loft bed, the kind with the dresser and desk under it. After eyeing the size of his bedroom, I realized it would take over the whole room. Perhaps the most effective way to organize a child's room is to redo the closet.
Most closets come with a rod and one shelf with a lot of wasted space above and below.
Think about your child's needs. There are many different closet kits you can purchase according to your needs. For younger children the upper shelves can hold art supplies you're not ready to let them have free access to yet. While doing a child's room think of the tote is your best friend. They are versatile and come in many sizes.
