Toy room organizing
A playroom that invites more creativity & less choas.
Toys multiply, interests change, and the storage rarely keeps pace. We'll sort by what's actually being played with, then build simple, labeled homes low enough that clean-up becomes something kids can do on their own.
Sound familiar?
If clean-up always falls to you, the system is asking too much.
Most playroom systems are built for adults to maintain. When we build them for kids instead, everything gets easier. Sound familiar?
- Toys are mixed together in a few big bins, so everything gets dumped to find one thing
- Outgrown toys are still taking up the best shelf space
- Puzzle and game pieces are scattered across multiple containers
- Clean-up only happens when you do it yourself
- The playroom has spread into the living room and it's not coming back
How it works
The same calm process — in your playroom.
- Phase 01
Free in-home consultation
We spend an hour in your space talking through what your kids actually play with, what keeps ending up on the floor, and how you'd like clean-up to go. I also take basic measurements while I'm there, so if you decide to work together I already know what will fit.
- Phase 02
Organizing sessions
I arrive with the bins and labels suited to the space and your kids' ages. We sort by category, coordinate donations for what's outgrown, and set up low, labeled storage — usually in 2–3 sessions. Your kids don't need to be part of the process, though they're welcome to help decide.
- Phase 03
Monthly or quarterly resets
Playrooms change with birthdays and growth spurts. An optional reset — a great fit before the holidays — keeps it current, or use that session in another space entirely.
What "done" looks like
Not picture-perfect. Working.
Categories a child can recognize
Labeled with pictures as well as words when it helps, so kids who aren't reading yet still know where things go.
Storage at kid height
Open bins on low shelves. If a child can reach it and see it, they can put it away — and they usually will.
Fewer toys, more playing
We pass along what's been outgrown through Twin Cities nonprofits so it goes to families who need it. What's left gets played with more, not less.
Containers sized to the Room
I source and purchase the bins and baskets on your behalf — unless you'd prefer to use what you already own. Billed at cost, never marked up.
No need to tidy up first
Please don't clean up first. A playroom mid-play tells me which toys are in heavy rotation and which ones haven't moved in months — the two things I most need to know.
Kind words
What people are saying.
"Tia has a gift of taking any space and turning it into beauty. As a busy working mom of 4, she has been a godsend to helping make spaces in my home beyond organized — the spaces bring me joy! I do not have Tia's gift, but I sure appreciate it. I plan on hiring her for several more projects around my house."
"If you are wondering how you will EVER tackle that closet or room, look no further. Room for Serenity helped us transform a closet into an oasis of inspiration! Perfect for people going through changes (empty nesters, changing spaces). Their ease-filled approach made the process enjoyable and so liberating. Don't wait any longer. Your future self will thank you!"
"I would recommend Room for Serenity to ANYONE looking to enhance their quality of life — whether they're in a transition with their space or just need some caring and deeply kind people to help free up emotional and mental space to take care of other parts of their life by clearing away the clutter."
