Maeve offers top tips to New York Family Magazine for storing children's items.

STORING YOUR STUFF

Maeve Richmond (organizemyhouse.com), a NYC-based professional organizer, offers expert solutions for storing children's items:

Cubbies To The Rescue!

Every kid's room needs this versatile classroom staples, Richmond says. Use cubbies to store diapers, clothes and blankets during infancy, and toys, games and books as children grow. #cubbiesforkids

Use Age And Stage Storage Bins.

Excess kid clothing piles up fast. Sort clothing not in use by age, season or size and store them in bins under beds or on closet shelves. #bins

Invest In The Best.

Get a closet system that does the sorting for you. These easy-to-install systems comes in a variety of sizes and provide space for shelves, hanging rods and slide out drawers or bins. #closets

Implement Files For School Age Children.

Kids need files, too! Get a horizontal filing system with pull-out drawers and assign each drawer a purpose. Let your child keep whatever he or she wants in their drawers. #organizing
