7 Storage Ideas for Small Bedrooms

Use a headboard with shelving or drawer components to store books, clothing and more.

Use your dresser as a nightstand to maximize furniture usage and minimize clutter.

Enhance a corner near the window with a window seat for extra seating and storage.

Add a small desk and chair that can act as an office, vanity and nightstand in one.

Add shelves for books, knickknacks or some photos.

Free up valuable space by mounting a TV and other electronics directly to the wall.

This platform bed eliminates the need for a box spring and adds lots of storage underneath.

• Before you start organizing your bedroom, cut the clutter. Place items in three piles: keep, toss and donate.

• Use under-bed storage containers to stow extra linens or out-of-season clothes.

• Purchase a nightstand with drawers or shelves that can house books, magazines, chargers, and more.

• Take advantage of high ceilings in a small bedroom by installing floor-to-ceiling shelving.

• Create recessed spaces between studs for built-ins that add extra storage without sacrificing floor space.

• Add some corner shelving. It takes up slightly less space than traditional wall shelving.

• Transform an old bookcase into a small wardrobe. Add café curtains threaded on a tension rod to conceal certain items while showing off others.
