Organisation takes time, but it saves even more time in the long run. While often overlooked, storage is one of the most crucial elements that can make or break the way you organise and design your space. But what if you have little to no space for storage in your bedroom?Then you need to get creative with how you store your belongings. Here’s where we come into play, and that’s why we’ve rounded up 7 of the most creative storage solutions for a small bedroom.

So keep reading …

1. Think of the Space Under Your Bed

A divan bed is one of the most popular bed choices in Britain.

But did you know that they can also make up for a storage scarcity in your bedroom?

A divan bed base can be customised to include drawers in any configuration that would suit your bedroom layout. The versatile drawers offer effortless access to your storage, and they are just perfect for organising your bed accessories separately, clothes or disguise any other items that you would rather keep out of sight.

2. Lift Up Your Bed

So you know about the under bed drawers.

However, there may be a better way to take control of clutter by using the space under your mattress? A solution that can give you 4 times more storage space than a divan bed.

An ottoman bed is a clever storage solution that lifts to reveal a savvy platform that sits under your mattress.

Due to the innovative piston-assisted lift mechanism, this bed provides easy access to the storage space, and it will help you gain an enormous valuable spot to stash your essentials.

So what better way than an ottoman bed to stash all things within it?

Think of it as a home to conceal that pile of clutter that doesn’t have a designated space.

Get Creative and Use The Walls

Wall shelving is also a clever solution for small bedrooms to store those books, records, and small accessories, while at the same time, it can work as a statement wall.

Attractive shelves can offer floor to ceiling storage while creating a striking focal point in your bedroom.

Shelves can also multitask as storage and room dividers, so open shelving could also work wonders in spaces such as studios or open plan designs because who doesn’t like a multipurpose furniture piece?

Floating shelves along a wall will also allow for extra storage without taking any additional floor space, and they can be customised to complement any décor. There are also incredible options out there with versatile sections such as hooks at the bottom, so you can place numerous items on it.

Instead of boxy shelving units, you can also use vertical spaces and look for ladder-style pieces with shelves, so you can organise most of your belongings in just one furniture piece that won’t crowd the room.

3. Headboards Can Also Double-Up As Storage

A storage headboard is a perfect space where you can squeeze in some extra storage.

Bespoke headboards can also remove the need for a bulky bedside table to clear up valuable floor space.

4. Storage Benches

Convertible furniture is our number one favourite, and that’s one reason we are exploring furniture pieces that can convert easily.

A storage bench is yet another clever duo that can act as both a cosy reading nook, a seating area, or a place to conceal items you’d rather not keep on display.

This can come in the shape of free-standing units, or an ottoman bench that you can place by the end of the bed or a gorgeous built-in window seat.

5. Glamourous Build-Ins

For a bespoke look, fitted bedroom furniture is a fantastic way to add storage in those narrower spaces.

Fitted furniture tends to be pricier, and it might need an expert hand, but it can come in all forms of storage and suit all bedroom layouts: built-in wardrobes, built-in storage benches, build-in desk areas … and the list goes on.

Creative storage solutions may include a pullout cupboard within a narrow space or between the wall and the wardrobe.

This can gently slide out just when you need it and add valuable incognito space even in the tiniest of bedrooms.

6. Baskets For a Quick Clear-Up

Baskets continue to have their place on our storage solutions list.

To make your bedroom feel organised and stress-free, baskets come in hand as a practical way to tuck away pretty much anything.

You can opt for sturdy designs that will give you great flexibility in terms of what you can put inside, from books, scarves, and hats to separating smaller accessories such as sunglasses, watches, or office supplies.

Final Thoughts

We know that clutter can be a constant battle, especially in a small bedroom. But we hope that these well-thought storage solutions will make every inch of your bedroom work in your favour.

Regardless of your space, you can now take control of clutter, maintain an unmistakable look, and solve all your storage problems.
