A Custom Kid’s Closet that Can Go from Toddler to Teen

Tailored Living Kids Closet AccessoriesFor a closet to be effective, it should accommodate the needs of the user. For a kid’s closet, this can mean anyone from a three-foot toddler to an almost six-foot teenage boy, making a “standard design” kid’s closet an impossibility! Closet design for a child’s room should consider how the closet and storage needs will change as your child grows: toddler to preschooler; grade-schooler to teen.

A Tailored Living custom closet organization system is the perfect solution for today and tomorrow by accommodating all the stages your child will go through. A custom-designed system of tiered rods, adjustable shelves, cabinets, drawers and stackable storage will allow you to keep pace as needs change without having to completely remodel the closet every few years. Make a few adjustments, add some new accessories, and the closet will be ready for the next stage!

The Toddler/Preschooler Closet
Floor-level bins make it easy for little ones to do things for themselves
Toddlers and preschoolers are just beginning to exert their independence by wanting to do things for themselves. Low-level storage options will make it easy for a young child to actively participate and start learning good habits.
  • Have open shelves for toys and books so it’s easy to select what they want.
  • Floor-level bins for shoes, socks, underwear and pajamas allow little ones to help dress themselves and get ready for bed like a big kid.
  • Label bins with pictures of what’s inside so a non-reading child can see what goes where.
  • A dirty clothes bin will help to instill the importance of a laundry basket.
  • Use smaller bins without lids, shallow drawers and short stacks of folded clothes so they can easily find what they need. Learn more
