If you live in a city apartment chances are you know what living in tight quarters feels like. Planning and organising a small bedroom can be particularly tricky, especially when it comes to storage. With a little creativity and the right kind of furniture, your small bedroom can store a lot more than you think—and without it looking like a garage.
Less clutter in the bedroom means more room for relaxing. We’ve rounded up some ideas to help you organise your bedroom.
Built-Ins
A great way for additional closet space. Place floor-to-ceiling wardrobe units against the wall.
Floating Vanity
Free up floor space by hanging a shelf with a trapdoor/ floating drawer. Top with a mirror and pretty accessories for quick touch-ups.
Use Your Bed
Baskets/boxes snuggled underneath bed frames are perfect for storing blankets, shoes and sweaters. Plus, a blanket can conceal this storage spot entirely. Or you can invest in a storage savvy platform bed.
Look Behind Your Bed
Install storage boxes on the wall. You can use them to store books, your electronic accessories or use them as a medicine cabinet. This can also work as a decorative headboard.
Mirror But Make It A Cabinet
You can store your accessories, makeup and cosmetics here.
Vacuum Pack Your Winter Essentials
Vacuum pack your puffy jackets and woolly knit sweaters during the summer months, this frees up a lot of space.
Caved In Storage
Instead of cluttering the space with a nightstand, let your wall act as your nightstand. If you are ready for a little remodel carve out space in your wall, and install self-shelves. Use this area to store books, decor, and other bedside necessities.
Utilise The Nooks And Crannies
Think floating shelves on a narrow wall or corner racks. These provide easy-access storage.
Skip The Floor Lamp
Opt for a classic set of wall sconces or hanging corner lamps for the perfect lighting.
Pro Tip: Add-Ons Are Great
These are products that usually pop up on your social media. Cleverly designed these single-storage items are a godsend. Think lingerie pouches, hairdryer holders, comb sheets, specialised clothes bins, decorative hooks, portable reading light, etc.
