Girls Room Ideas: Resourceful Ways To Declutter Your Space
I love seeing girls get in the habit of decorating and organizing their own rooms, especially through repurposed and recycled materials. As early as possible, we can teach young ones how to be responsible, not just with their own stuff, but with the environment as well.
Here, let me share with you how to transform old materials into neat storage solutions. Acquire new methods of organizing wardrobe, to keep clutter at bay. So, keep on reading for some of my highly recommended girls room ideas.
1. Upcycled Storage Box
Turn a plain box into a pretty storage with multiple compartments in just a few steps.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Small or medium sized box
- Cutter
- Ruler
- Scissors
- Glue Gun
- Glue sticks
- Decorative Paper
- Packaging Tape
Step 1: Cut the top flaps
Using a cutter, cut the top flaps of the box. Keep the flaps as these will be used as dividers.
Step 2: Reassemble the box
Reassemble the box, and secure the bottom portion with packaging tape.
Step 3: Remove excess height of box
Measure the flap against the height of the box, and make sure they’re of the same size. Remove the excess portion of the box with cutter and scissors when necessary.
Step 4:Â Cover the box
To give your box some flair, cover it with colored or decorative paper of your choice.
Step 5: Cut the flaps and cover them
Get two flaps, and cut each into three portions to yield six small dividers. Set aside two uncut flaps for big dividers. Cover each with decorative paper.
Step 6: Place the dividers inside the box
Place the two big dividers horizontally, then place the six small dividers vertically.
Step 7: Secure the dividers
Use a glue gun to secure each divider in place. Leave it to dry for a couple of minutes then you can use it as storage for your gadgets or crafts.
2. Repurposed Frame
Here’s an inexpensive way to organize small items in shelves, using old picture frames.
Step 1: Select a good-sized frame
Select frames with taller borders. These will better help hold items in place.
Step 2: Use the frame like a tray
Use them to organize stuff in your shelf that requires easy access. Like school supplies, personal care items, or make up.
3. Spruced Up Canister
Breathe new life to a throwaway canister with these simple steps.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Empty powdered chocolate canister/container
- Yarn
- Glue Gun
Step 1: Clean canister
Clean both the inside and the outside portions of the canister. Peel off the label, and wipe off any food debris on the inside.
Step 2: Attach yarn to canister
Secure the tip of the yarn to the bottom portion of the container using a glue gun.
Step 3: Cover canister with yarn
Wrap the yarn around the canister, occasionally putting glue to hold the yarn in place.
Step 4: Cut excess yarn
Remove the excess yarn once you’re done covering the entire canister. You can use the spruced up canister for random items you want out of sight, or as a holder for your arts and crafts tools.
4. Scarves Hanger
Easily hang and organize your scarves behind the door with this smart idea using accordion hooks.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Accordion hooks
- Adhesive hooks
Step 1: Mount adhesive hooks
Place the adhesive hooks according to your desired height.
Step 2: Place the accordion hooks
Hang the accordion hook on the adhesive hooks. Make sure it’s secured in place.
Step 3: Hang scarves
Tie each scarf into a knot, and hang them on the accordion hooks. This will keep all your scarves accessible, and in one place.
5. Organized Drawer
One of my favorite girls room ideas that totally works is this drawer organization technique.
Step 1: Fold clothes
Depending on the length of each clothing, fold them into small uniform portions.
Step 2: Arrange clothes vertically
Unlike the usual way we pile clothes in the drawer, stuff them in a vertical position, making sure each piece can be clearly seen. By doing this, you can easily identify and grab specific items without getting others out of their place.
