Boori kids storage covers everything a child's room needs to stay organised: from toy cabinets and open storage baskets for the early years through to chests of drawers, wardrobes and modular shelving as the child grows. All pieces are made from sustainably sourced timber with low-VOC finishes and are designed to complement most Boori bedroom and nursery collections.
Toy Storage and More, Designed for Real Life
Boori's kids' storage solutions are made to help families stay organised while adding timeless style to every room. Whether you're looking for kids toy storage, bookcases, or modular kids storage units, our furniture makes tidying up simpler and more beautiful.
Practical Storage for Every Space
Choose from multi-functional pieces like toy boxes, chests, drawers, and modular shelving that adapt as your child grows. Our designs support everything from kids bedroom storage to playroom organisation, offering a home for every item.
Types of Kids Storage Furniture
Most kids rooms need two or three storage pieces working together rather than one large unit. The main categories are:
- Toy cabinets and units with tubs: an open frame holding removable tubs, so a child can pull out one category of toys and return it without help. The most practical option for toddlers and preschoolers.
- Chests of drawers: the main clothing storage for a kids room. Our chest of drawers range runs from compact three-drawer units for smaller rooms through to larger six-drawer chests that double as a change table in the nursery years.
- Wardrobes: hanging space for school uniforms, jackets and occasion wear, usually with a shelf or drawer below. Our wardrobes suit rooms without built-in robes.
- Bookshelves and open shelving: best kept low so books sit at child height and can be browsed cover-out.
- Bedside tables: a small drawer or shelf for a lamp, water glass and current bedtime book. Browse bedside tables to match the rest of the room.
- Storage boxes and baskets: light enough for a child to carry, and useful for moving toys between the bedroom and living areas.

Designed for Safety and Durability
Every item of kids' storage furniture from Boori is made with safety and durability in mind. We know that kids' furniture has to be able to handle the wear and tear of everyday use, including toys, books, and even spills. That's why we use strong materials like engineered wood and sturdy timber to build our kids' storage unit and boxes.
Also, the paints used in our storage furniture are water-based, non-toxic and low-VOC, so they are suitable for your child's room. You can trust that Boori items are made to last, whether you choose a durable kids storage bed with concealed compartments or a kids storage unit with tubs for toys.
How to Set Up Kids Storage Safely
Storage furniture in a kids room carries a tip-over risk once children start climbing, so a few setup habits matter as much as the furniture itself:
- Anchor any unit taller than it is wide to the wall, including bookshelves, tallboys and wardrobes. Most Boori units ship with the fixings needed.
- Load the heaviest items into the bottom drawers or shelves. A top-heavy chest becomes unstable the moment a drawer is opened.
- Keep storage away from windows so it cannot be used as a step, and clear of the bed so nothing can be climbed from the mattress.
- Choose toy boxes with a lid that stays open on its own, or skip the lid entirely and use open tubs.
- Check fixings once or twice a year, particularly on units that get opened and closed daily.
Maximise Storage in Your Child's Room
Using furniture that makes the most of storage space without making the room feel crowded is one of the keys to keeping a child's room neat. We made our kids' storage options to be as useful as possible. Every component, from kids' storage shelves to small kids' storage drawers, is carefully made to give you the most storage space while keeping the area clean and open.
Here are some ways to make the most of the space in your child's room:
- Use Vertical Space: Put up shelves for kids' storage along the walls to keep the floor uncluttered. You can use these shelves to store books, toys, or other ornamental things.
- Under-Bed Storage: Choose a kids bed frame with built-in under-bed drawers. This is a great way to store extra blankets, clothes, or seasonal goods without taking up more room.
- Toy Organisation: Use a kids storage box or kids storage basket to keep toys and games organised. Pick bins that are light and easy for your youngster to transport and put away their things.
- Drawer Storage: Kids storage drawers are the best way to store small things like school supplies or creative supplies. You can use them for everything from art supplies to stationery, and they help you keep things neat and easy to find.
How to Organise a Kids Room with Storage
The most effective approach to kids room storage follows one rule: make it easy enough that the child can do it independently. This means:
- Open storage for frequently used items: toys, books, art supplies. If it requires opening a door or lid, a child is less likely to put it away.
- Low storage at child height for everything they access daily. Shelves above 100cm are for items they don't need to reach on their own.
- One type of item per container: one box for blocks, one for soft toys, one for craft supplies. Labelling with pictures (not words) helps pre-readers.
- Closed storage for things you want out of sight: seasonal clothing, spare kids bedding, less-used items.
Start with the fewest possible storage pieces and add as needed. Too much storage furniture crowds the floor space children need for active play. If you are working with a particularly tight room, our guide to clever kids storage ideas for small bedrooms goes further on layout.
Toy Storage Ideas by Age
What works for a two-year-old will not suit a nine-year-old, and storage that no longer matches the child is storage that stops getting used.
- Toddler (1–3 years): open tubs at floor level, no lids, and very few categories. Two or three large containers are easier to manage than eight small ones. Keep the bulk of the toy collection stored away and rotate through it.
- Preschool (3–5 years): picture labels on each tub, a low bookshelf with books facing cover-out, and a dedicated spot for craft supplies that can be closed when not in use.
- Early primary (5–8 years): smaller containers for collections such as blocks, figurines and cards. This is the age where a child can maintain more categories, and where a playroom setup often takes over from bedroom storage.
- Upper primary (8–12 years): toy storage shrinks and study storage grows. A desk with hutch storage takes over from toy tubs, and closed drawers become more useful than open shelving as children start wanting privacy.
Stylish and Functional Kids Storage Solutions
Our storage solutions for youngsters are both useful and nice to look at. We have a wide assortment of finishes that will work with many different house types, so you can choose the perfect storage unit for your needs.

Boori has the appropriate storage option for your child's room, whether you need a kids storage box for toys or a stronger kids storage unit with tubs for bigger things.

Why Choose Boori Kids Storage for Your Home?
When choosing the best storage options for your child's room, both appearance and function are important. Boori kids storage pieces are made to grow with your child. They have both useful storage space and a design that will last. Here are some reasons why Boori is the best choice for your child's room:
- Durable Materials: Built to last with solid wood and engineered timber.
- Safety First: Every piece is safe since it has rounded edges and low-VOC coatings.
- Flexible for Growth: Our kids' storage units may change as your child grows, from small tubs for toys to bigger drawers for clothes as their wardrobe grows.
- Space-Saving Designs: Kids storage shelves and small kids storage baskets help you make the most of vertical space and keep the room tidy and free of clutter.
Our furniture is both useful and stylish, so your child's room will be both neat and lovely. When you buy Boori kids storage, you get elegant and useful components that will help your child stay organised as they become older.
Storage That Moves from Nursery to Kids Room
Most Boori storage is designed to be bought once and used for a decade or more, which is why the nursery pieces and the kids room pieces come from the same finishes and proportions.
A chest of drawers that holds nappies, wraps and change supplies with a change tray on top becomes standard clothing storage the moment the tray comes off. Modular storage boxes that hold nursery toys and muslins take on books, LEGO and school supplies later. Open shelving used for baskets and soft toys in the first two years works just as well for readers and folders by Year 2.
The practical advantage is that you are not replacing furniture at each stage, only changing what goes inside it.

Kids Storage - FAQ
What is the best storage for a kids room?
The most effective kids room storage puts frequently used items in open, accessible containers at child height: so the child can retrieve and return items independently. Toy cabinets with open tubs, low bookshelves with books facing cover-out, and modular units that a child can reach and open without help all support independent tidying habits. Closed storage works better for seasonal items, spare bedding, or things you want to keep out of sight.
What is a kids storage unit with tubs?
A kids storage unit with tubs is a freestanding shelving frame that holds removable plastic tubs or baskets. Each tub can be colour-coded or labelled by category: one for blocks, one for soft toys, one for art supplies. The tub can be pulled out completely by a child for play and returned easily. This format is one of the most practical toy storage solutions because children can manage it independently from around age 2.
How do I maximise storage in a small kids bedroom?
In a standard Australian kids bedroom (around 3m x 3m), go vertical first: tall shelving on walls frees up floor space for play. Use under-bed storage drawers in place of a separate chest of drawers where possible: this reclaims floor space without losing capacity. Modular storage units that can be rearranged as needs change are more useful than fixed wardrobes in smaller rooms. Keep active play space (at least 1.5m x 1.5m) clear of furniture.
What storage furniture does a child need?
A complete kids room needs: a wardrobe or chest of drawers for clothing, an open low bookshelf for books and small toys, and at least one toy storage unit (cabinets with tubs or a toy box) for larger items. A bedside table provides storage for nighttime essentials. As the child approaches school age, a study desk with hutch storage organises books and stationery. Start with clothing storage and toy storage first, then add study storage when homework begins.
Can Boori kids storage be used in a nursery first and then a kids room?
Yes: this is the intended use of most Boori storage pieces. A chest of drawers that holds nappies and change supplies in the nursery transitions to clothing storage in the kids room. Modular storage boxes that hold nursery toys adapt to books and school supplies as the child grows. Because Boori uses timeless timber finishes in neutral colours, the pieces adapt easily to the changing decor of the room over years.
