Finding Storage Space Where There Is None.
In The Closet:
The closet is the obvious place to store things in the kids bedroom. Open the door and what do you see? Most likely a closet rod that is 5 feet or so off the floor, and a shelf above it if you're lucky. And you look at your son's shirt on his little hanger that hangs about 18-24 inches off the rod. Wow! What a waste of space below the hanging clothes.
One option is to put a dresser under the rod. You'll likely not only have room for a dresser but a few things on top of it. You could use a set of cube cubbys instead if you prefer open space. These are both great ideas especially if you are limited on floor space in the bedroom itself.
But wait. You say you need more hanging space? In comes the closet extender. It is another rod that hangs from your existing rod by two hooks with adjustable side extensions. It gives you a whole other hanging space! You might even like one in your closet, so you could hang two layers of tops. This also makes your child more independent because he can reach his own clothes, as well as (wait for it.....!) hang up his own clothes!
Here's what they look like: (See the hanger on the lower rod? How handy is that?)
