How to Organize Toys With a Corner Storage Unit

How to Organize Toys With a Corner Storage Unit

Learn how to use a corner storage unit to organize toys in small spaces. This guide covers setup, layout tips, and how the EdQ Curated Storage 2-Tier Corner Unit fits into a kids' room.

Why Use a Corner for Toy Storage?

Corners in kids' rooms often go unused or collect clutter. A corner storage unit turns that awkward space into a functional home for toys, books, and art supplies. It keeps items accessible while freeing up floor space for play. The EdQ Curated Storage 2-Tier Corner Unit is designed for exactly this purpose, with a shape that fits into corners and connects with other modular units.

Setting Up Your Corner Storage Unit

To get the most out of your corner storage unit, follow these steps. The EdQ Curated Storage 2-Tier Corner Unit is designed to be part of a modular system, but it works well as a standalone piece too.

  1. Choose the right corner: Pick a corner that is easily accessible to your child. Avoid spots behind doors or in dark alcoves. The unit's two tiers keep items at different heights, so place it where kids can reach the lower shelf independently.
  2. Assemble and secure the unit: Follow the included instructions to assemble the unit. The secure male and female bolt connections allow you to attach it to other Curated Storage pieces if you plan to expand. For standalone use, ensure the unit is stable on the floor.
  3. Organize toys by activity level: Use the upper tier for items you want to keep out of reach, such as puzzles with small pieces or craft supplies. The lower tier is perfect for everyday toys like blocks, cars, or dolls that your child can grab and return independently.
  4. Add bins or baskets: While the unit itself does not come with bins, the open shelving works well with small baskets or fabric bins. Group similar items together to make cleanup easier. For example, keep art supplies in one bin and building toys in another.

Maximizing Small Spaces

In small rooms, every inch counts. The corner unit helps maximize corner spaces while creating a continuous flow that encourages children to move freely between materials, ideas and discoveries. By placing it in a corner, you open up wall space for a bed, desk, or play area. The 2-Tier Corner Unit also connects seamlessly with other Curated Storage modules, so you can build a custom layout that fits your room's exact dimensions.

Encouraging Independent Cleanup

A corner storage unit that is organized by type and height makes it easier for children to put toys away. The lower shelf is within reach for toddlers and preschoolers, while the upper shelf can hold less-frequently-used items. Over time, kids learn where each item belongs, building responsibility and reducing the time you spend tidying up.
