1 - Clothes as decoration.

For fashionistas who love pretty pieces, the easiest way is to install a wooden coat rack or hooks near the changing table. The clothes arranged in this way will serve as a decoration for the child's room. What could be cuter than a pretty velvet sleeping bag?

Hanging up your clothes will be within reach for the most delicate moments when changing your baby. Another advantage is that you can hang up the next day's clothes for your child and thus avoid the early morning panic when you can't find the right pair of tights.

When children are very young, you have to think practical, because they are changed several times a day and everything must be within reach. Whether folded in a chest of drawers or hung on a coat rack, spare clothes must be close to you. Mothers change their baby on average 7 to 10 times a day in the first few days.

2 - Organize and store in baskets

Besides the fact that storing in baskets is a real asset when you are a bit messy. This storage method offers the possibility of decorating your child's room in a practical and useful way. Baskets are super practical for storing small clothes that you don't need to fold like bodysuits, tights, socks...

I love these animal-shaped baskets, they are super trendy this year, we find them everywhere, as much at pretty brands like ferm living as at Zara or H&M. There is something for all prices and for all wallets. Each basket, depending on its size, will allow you to store this or that thing. The canvas bags or cardboard boxes allow you to store and organize the room while bringing a touch of relevant decoration to the room.

The open dressing room like here in the photo is very trendy, we really see a lot of them in baby's rooms. But be careful, it requires real rigor and real organization, because this type of storage does not tolerate disorder.

Besides the decorative aspect, baskets are a real cover-up and dads will no longer have an excuse to explain that they don't know how to fold such small clothes. We throw them in the right basket and that's it.

3 - The DIY dressing room

When you don't necessarily have the means, one of the least expensive methods to install a dressing room in your baby's room is to make one. In the two examples below, the parents installed shelves to store folded clothes. They then hung a wooden bar to hang the hangers and allow for another storage option.

If you still don't have enough space, don't hesitate to put a chest of drawers under the wardrobe section you've just created. A homemade dressing room with not much, what do you think? It's a great idea, right? The fact that this mini dressing room is open to the baby's room is a real decorative asset for the room. Be careful, however, to always tidy up this little corner, otherwise watch out for the messy appearance in the little one's room.

Which installation do you like the most? full dressing room or mix deco/dressing room?

4 - The American-style open closet

I love this version! Such a fan of US series like This is Us / The Queen's Gambit etc... This kind of small dressing room in a closet is very common in American homes. We see a lot of them in series in particular. Have you ever spotted them?

The principle is simple, it's like a built-in closet. But we removed the doors and put pretty wallpaper in the back. Inside, a huge rod to hang lots of pretty things. For the minis' dressing rooms, we can even imagine doubling the rod to offer an even larger storage space. The idea of ​​the double rod is great if you have twins.

Of course, you can keep the classic format of the open closet with a single rod and install a chest of drawers or an open piece of furniture underneath. You can imagine that the toys are stored in the lower part in baskets and the clothes on the top of the closet.

How to make a child's closet sexy?

When you have such a pretty dressing room as this little girl, with super matching colors. The closet is immediately super instagramable. The wooden and wicker boxes are all pretty and this rattan shelf to store pretty shoes is also very trendy.

Tidying up is a time-consuming task and we can't say that it's our favorite for us moms. To make the activity more enjoyable, have fun organizing your child's closet, as this will make organizing and storing their clothes more fun.
