Knockout Toy Chaos
I have found that the Trofast units from IKEA are great for toy areas. They are customizable based on your child's interests with three different sized bins. When my kids were younger, we had large bins for dinosaurs/dolls, medium for art supplies and games, and small for tiny toys like Legos.

For underutilized toys first declutter, then sort like with like (zone). Consider any items the child uses together as "like" items.

Create labels based on age (pictures, words, or both). Make sure labels are easy to change or recreate!
