The Best Stuffed Animal Storage

Buying Guide

Storing stuffed animals can be an interior design fiasco without the right bins or bags. There are plenty of options out there to help you keep your baby’s babies all in one place — and look cute while doing it.

Buyers should seek style, durability and affordability when choosing stuffed animal storage.  You can stick with an animal theme and go with a cage, or put the precious pieces on a shelf. There are basket and net options if you need to go up high with them. And if all else fails, repurpose something meant to store other things entirely, such as a hanging shoe organizer or drawer bins. Just make sure your children know you aren’t throwing away their faux furry friends.

• Know what space you have available before selecting your style of stuffed animal storage. Will the storage solution go in a corner? Hang from a wall or ceiling? Could it collect dust? Will animals or insects be able to harm the stuffed animals you are storing?
• Make use of wasted space. Perhaps the storage you need will fit under a bed or up high in an unused corner of a room.
• Consider the importance of displaying the stuffed animals. Maybe you purchased high-end products from a big brand or you have collectibles.
• If your kids will want to keep accessing the toys, choose storage options that are within their reach and won’t fall down if they get pulled on.
• Think outside of the box when it comes to designing a storage space. Items you use may serve more than one purpose, such as a bean bag chair you can stuff with the animals.
• Ask your kids which stuffed animals are their favorites and create special storage places for those. Maybe they get the center spot in a hanging net or basket.
