- Using deep and decorative laundry bins can help manage
odd-shaped toys in a playroom while adding a touch of style.
- Maintaining a modular play space with adaptable shelving and bins
can accommodate the changing needs and influx of toys over
time.
- Grouping similar items together, like large and small utensils in
separate drawers, can simplify kitchen organization and make it
easier for everyone to find what they need.
