1. Rethink Your Furniture

In a small Singapore apartment, it is vital that your items are multipurpose! For example, not only can a dresser be used to store your baby’s clothes, but its top can also conveniently serve as a changing table.

Tip: Consider labelling the dressers based on the contents (e.g. pyjamas, tops, bottoms). When your child grows older, the labels will help your kids get ready a lot quicker.

Toddler’s clothes can be tiny, keep them organized using storage bins or drawer dividers within your drawers.

You can also use the space underneath beds to store toys. As your little one gets older, they’ll need a space to play in, but it’s limited in Singapore homes. Counter spatial blues by fixing your child’s playing area under the bed as a roll-out set. Store their toys in cubbies and boxes lining the sofa or their bed.

Getting a wardrobe for your child means asking these questions like…

“How am I going to sort his or her outfits out and keep them organized?’
“Will this be big enough once he/she grows up?”
“How to make it versatile so that it can grow with him/her?”

The following few practical ideas may help you get through your worries!

  • Have individual sections to sort all your child’s clothes (shirts, bottoms, socks) and prevent mixups. Hang the clothes needed for the week in the middle.
  • Have adjustable rods for clothes hanging, and line hooks and small plastic crates along the cupboard doors, so your child can gain easy access to their clothes. This can provide essential training for your child to support his or her own.
  • Opt for extendable hangers that can grow with your child. This saves money and effort having to replace them.

3 Tips From Marie Kondo On Organizing With Kids

Parents should lead by example
Kondo says that she folds her clothes in front of her daughters, to show them how much she enjoys the tidying up process and that it can be comforting to her kids too!

Allow your kids to begin at a young age
Kondo advises letting your kids start learning how to tidy up when they turn 3. By letting them learn how to fold their own clothes, they’ll adopt the habit of folding and putting things back in their original place daily.

Involve your child in decluttering
According to Kondo, if your child melts down over tossing his toy truck, it means it probably still ‘sparks joy’ in him. Kondo suggests explaining to your kids the process of decluttering, but not using the ‘Joy’ test on them. Instead, she recommends getting your kids to order their toys by what they like best and then eliminating their least favourites.

4. Reuse Baby Wipe Containers To Store Collectibles

Once your baby wipes run out, don’t throw the boxes away! Instead, turn them into storage containers for their socks, handkerchiefs or small collectable items. If your kids like card games like Uno, these baby wipe boxes will make excellent places to keep their games so that any important part doesn’t go missing.

5. Versatile Wall Hooks

Your kids may have lots of things that need hanging, like extra shirts, jackets, or bags. Using wall hooks is a good way to keep their possessions from becoming whirlpool as they stock up. It also frees up space in the dresser for other belongings. 

Tip: When mounting them, keep them at your child’s eye level, so they can take what’s needed and put them back later on.
