Beautifully Organised: Creating a Calm, Child-Friendly Space With Woven Storage
A child’s room can be full of books, toys, blocks, puzzles and little treasures - and still feel calm.
The secret is thoughtful storage.
At Love Local, we love pieces that do more than simply hide clutter. The right storage can become part of the room itself, adding warmth, texture and character while making it easier for little ones to find what they need and, hopefully, put it back when they’re finished.
Pairing our Montessori-Inspired Bookshelf with Handwoven Baskets creates a practical storage solution that feels as beautiful as the rest of your home.
Storage That Deserves to Be Seen
Not every storage basket needs to be tucked away in a cupboard.
Our Handwoven Baskets are designed to bring a natural, warm texture into your space while keeping everyday essentials neatly organised. Made from natural woven fibres, each basket is handmade, giving every piece its own slightly unique finish and character. Love Local
They’re compact enough to work beautifully on open shelving while still offering practical storage for smaller items.
Think:
-
Small toys and building pieces
-
Baby essentials
-
Art and craft supplies
-
Hair accessories
-
Books and flashcards
-
Everyday items that somehow always seem to end up on the floor
Because the baskets are neutral and textural, they help soften a room without adding visual clutter.
The Beauty of Open, Child-Friendly Storage
There’s something lovely about creating a space that children can actually use themselves.
The Love Local Montessori-Inspired Bookshelf is designed at a child-friendly height so little ones can easily see, choose and return their own books. That accessibility supports independence and organisation while helping make books part of their everyday environment.
Books on Display, Clutter Tucked Away
One of our favourite combinations is mixing visible books and toys with woven baskets.
Keep favourite books within easy reach. Display a few beautiful wooden toys or keepsakes. Then use the baskets for all the smaller pieces that can quickly make a room feel untidy.
A Calmer Space Can Make Everyday Routines Easier
Organisation doesn’t need to mean a perfectly styled room 24/7 — especially with children.
It is simply about giving everything a place.
When books are stored where little ones can reach them and toys have clear homes, tidying becomes a little more intuitive.
Designed for the Rest of Your Home Too
The beauty of neutral storage is that it doesn’t have to stay in the nursery.
The Handwoven Square Baskets can also be used for pantry items, bathroom essentials or smaller household belongings, making them useful long after the baby and toddler years.
Likewise, the timeless design of the bookshelf means it can evolve as your child grows - from board books and toys in the early years to storybooks, décor and treasured belongings later on.
Less Clutter, More Room to Play
Children’s spaces don’t need to choose between beautiful and practical.
Natural materials, accessible furniture and clever storage can create a room that feels calm and considered while still being completely suited to real family life.
Simple pieces can create something special: a space where little ones can explore independently, parents can keep the everyday clutter under control, and everything still feels beautifully at home.
