Create a room that inspires creativity, supports learning, and stays effortlessly organised with our made-to-measure children’s storage solutions. At Sydney Cabinet Makers, we design and build custom cabinetry that turns kids’ rooms into functional, inviting spaces for both study, play, and relaxation.
Our purpose-built storage systems blend practical organisation with playful design touches, helping Sydney families keep rooms tidy while encouraging curiosity and imagination. From integrated desks with hidden compartments to colourful toy organisers that make pack-up easy, every piece is crafted to your child’s age, interests, and space.
We understand that children’s needs evolve quickly. That’s why we create adaptable designs that can transition from low shelving and toy boxes to study nooks with space for books, devices, and creative projects — ensuring your investment grows alongside your family.
Smart, Safe Storage for Study, Play, and Everything In Between
We create purposeful storage solutions that transform children's spaces into organised environments for both study and play, with safety and functionality at the forefront of every design.
Tailored Storage Designs for Learning and Play
We design custom storage solutions that adapt to your child's changing needs. Our cabinets include adjustable shelving heights to accommodate growing collections of books, toys, and study materials. Our multi-functional units combine desk spaces with surrounding storage, featuring built-in drawers and overhead compartments for easy organisation of school supplies and creative materials. We incorporate open shelving for frequently used items and closed cabinets for tidier storage of games, craft supplies, and seasonal items.
Safety and Durability Considerations
We select premium materials that withstand daily wear while maintaining their appearance. Each cabinet features rounded edges and child-safe hardware to prevent accidents. Our storage solutions come with secure wall mounting and anti-tip mechanisms as standard safety features. We use non-toxic finishes and easy-clean surfaces that resist scratches and stains. All drawers and doors include soft-close mechanisms to protect little fingers.
Optimising Small and Shared Spaces
We maximise vertical space with floor-to-ceiling storage solutions, creating efficient study zones in compact rooms.
Our design team specialises in clever storage solutions for shared bedrooms, including:
- Pull-out desks that tuck away when not in use

Tailored Designs with Local Craftsmanship and Care
We combine skilled craftsmanship with local knowledge to create custom storage solutions for kids' rooms across Sydney. Our proven process ensures exceptional results that perfectly match your needs and space.
Consultation and Design Collaboration
We start with a detailed in-home consultation to assess your space and discuss your storage requirements. Our designers work closely with you to understand your child's needs, daily routines, and the items that need storing. We create detailed 3D designs showing exactly how your storage solution will look and function. These designs include precise measurements and material specifications. Every design incorporates child-safety features and age-appropriate accessibility. We plan drawer heights, shelf depths, and handle positions to suit your child's current age and growing needs.
Australian-Made Materials
We source high-quality, locally produced Australian materials, including E0-grade, moisture-resistant MDF and FSC-certified hardwoods, all meeting strict national safety standards for children’s furniture. Our hardware is supplied by reputable Australian brands and features soft-close hinges, smooth-glide runners, and child-safe locks for added peace of mind. We apply low-VOC, non-toxic finishes that are safe for kids and maintain healthy indoor air quality. Every material is independently tested for durability against daily knocks and spills, with surfaces that are easy to wipe clean — ideal for busy family homes.

Our qualified installers work efficiently to minimise disruption to your family routine. We typically complete most installations within one day. We service all Sydney suburbs, from the Northern Beaches to the Sutherland Shire. Our team arrives on time with all necessary tools and equipment. After installation, we conduct a thorough safety check and demonstrate all storage features. We provide care instructions and a warranty certificate for your peace of mind.
Children’s Storage FAQs – What Parents Ask Most
We address below the most important concerns parents have about children's storage solutions, from safety features to customisation options and ergonomic design principles.
How can I ensure the study and play storage units are safe for children of all ages?
We build all our storage units with rounded corners and soft-close hinges to prevent injuries. Each piece undergoes rigorous safety testing to meet Australian standards. Our designs incorporate anti-tip brackets and secure wall mounting systems for added stability and protection.
What are the customisation options available for kids' storage units?
We offer personalised colour schemes, themed designs, and adjustable shelving configurations to match your child's preferences and needs. Custom handles, doors, and drawer sizes can be tailored to accommodate specific toys, books, or study materials.
Are the materials used for children's furniture non-toxic and environmentally friendly?
We use low-VOC finishes and child-safe paints that meet Australian safety regulations. Our timber comes from certified sustainable sources. All hardware and materials are thoroughly tested for safety and comply with Australian standards for children's furniture.
How do I choose the appropriate size for a study and play storage unit for my child's room?
We recommend measuring your child's room dimensions and considering circulation space around the furniture. Allow for growth and changing storage needs over time. A standard recommendation is to leave at least 1 metre of clear space in front of storage units for safe access.
What is the typical turnaround time for a custom-made kids' study and play storage unit?
Our standard production time ranges from 3-4 weeks for basic designs. Complex custom units may take 4-6 weeks to complete. We provide regular updates throughout the manufacturing process and coordinate installation times that suit your schedule.
How do you integrate ergonomic design into children's furniture?
We design storage heights and depths appropriate for different age groups, ensuring easy reach and access for children. Our adjustable features accommodate growing children, with modifiable shelf heights and adaptable study surfaces.
