I have two boys, one will turn 4 years old in August; the other is only 3 months old. Just curious to know how & the best way to keep a room looking presentable & managable as they grow up. It's a small room. I like Bunk beds but it fear it would take up a lot of room, so I want to avoid big objects!

Wouldn't bunk beds take up less room than two beds? Also, they have bunk beds that have drawers built into them. That would save a little room as well. If the room has a closet, build shelves on each side of the closet. One side could be for one boy, the other side for your other boy...and shelves along like the back wall of the closet (the wall that you see when you open the closet door) could be where the boys keep their coats or whatever. Make sure that instead of trying to avoid messy stuff...make room for it. Make sure your son has a place to put his balls and muddy shoes! That way, you're not asking for the impossible, and you'll only have to clean one exact spot. It would probably be a good idea to put shelves on the wall for now, and then maybe a book case as they get older. You can put their favorite Disney characters up, and as they get older you can let them put whatever they want on the bookshelf. Also, for now, my two toddlers use this kind of rack thing that holds 10 bins. It helps keep blocks separated from the cars. lol. I bought that at Target about 1 year ago, and it didn't cost alot. Good Luck!

Bunk beds are a great idea, then you have the beds stacked rather than two beds in the room.
Purchase a large bookcase (attach it to the wall) and put containers on the lower shelves to hold their small toys, on the upper shelves place their larger toys.
You can also use under bed storage containers for the stuff they don't like to play with all of the time.
Hope this helps.

bunk beds r the best room saver, but ive got them and had to seperate them cos of my kids being dangerous, use underbed storer containers to put stuff in , and satackable ones to put their toys in, i hang kids windchimes off the ceiling so they take up no room, but look cute, and toss out stuff u dont need, have fun
