20 Clever Bedroom Storage Ideas to Keep Your Space Organized, No Matter How Small

It doesn't matter how small or grand your bedroom is — clutter can still pile up. This is especially true if you find yourself overwhelmed with an influx of clothes, books, toys and other items. If organizing your bedroom seems too daunting of a task, don't fret. We have clever bedroom storage ideas to maximize your floor space and save time searching for what you need.

Curating a zen-like retreat can be as simple as using one (or two!) of our space-saving solutions below. Ideas include investing in a Murphy bed (specifically one with storage cabinets and bookcases) and customizing built-in shelves that wrap around your TV or bed. If your office is in the bedroom, consider using a wall-mounted desk to keep notebooks, a laptop and other supplies out of sight. What's more, for those who have their bedroom in the attic, make the most of sloped ceilings to curate an alcove bed with cabinetry or a well-curated library for your favorite reads.

  1. Understated Storage: A clean, modern space can be as simple as installing custom built-in cabinets. Custom design one full of storage with trap doors and hidden compartments.

 

  1. Mini Bins in Drawers: Enhance pull-out storage with dividers and mini bins. It's a clever way to keep your clothing and accessories, like shirts, socks and underwear, in designated spaces.

 

  1. Console Table: Traditional nightstands aren't the only options for a bedroom. Place a console table by your bedside to store things like books, jewelry and decorative items. Smaller bins can fit underneath to easily access everyday accessories.

 

  1. Built-Ins and Drawers: Don't be afraid to go all out with your built-ins. Purchase a storage platform bed for toys, books, out-of-season clothing and games. Surround your office space with built-in cabinetry to keep office essentials and other items in order.

 

  1. Built-In Bookcase: Curate a personal library in the bedroom with a built-in bookcase that beautifully showcases the room's architecture.

 

  1. Under-Bed Storage: Make the most of your space by storing belongings in drawers underneath a bed. It's a convenient spot for clothes, especially if you find your closets and drawers overflowing with garments. Plus, it's a clever addition to things organized in one place, without taking up space.

 

  1. Space-Saving Bed: Give your bedroom a space-saving upgrade by swapping out a regular bed for a Murphy bed. Some come with storage cabinets and bookcases to easily place small bins, books, folded clothes and accessories on shelves.

 

  1. Trunks and Bins for Seating: Make use of the space at the foot of your bed — a simple storage bench or ottoman can do the trick. Or, place your desired items in two rattan trunks, push them together, and add cushions on top to enjoy seating and storage.

 

  1. Slim Vertical Built-In: A narrow built-in bookcase can provide the extra space needed for books, art, small bins and trinkets. Consider installing it right next to the bed, so it's easy to grab what you need.

 

  1. Large Nightstands: Larger nightstands mean more space for your must-have items! Many new nightstands are installing USB ports to plug in and tuck away iPads, cell phones and Apple watches at night to charge.

 

  1. Hidden Hamper: Say goodbye to leaving your hamper out in the open. Instead, opt for a savvy pull-out design that's concealed in your custom closet or wardrobe. Place shoes on the top shelves and an assortment of storage bins in convenient spots.

 

  1. Wall-Mounted Desk: If your bedroom also doubles as an office, consider a flip-down work area to save space. Keep the essentials, like your notebooks, laptop and pencils, tucked inside then simply push the desk back back up to keep everything underwraps.

 

  1. TV Wrap Around Shelves: If your bedroom is in the attic, use the room's architecture to carve out space for built-in shelves. Place the TV in the center and use the surrounding ledges for decorative accents.

 

  1. Bar Cart: Bar carts aren't only for kitchens and home bars. In fact, they can easily slide into snug spaces and when used as a nightstand, can offer easy access to bedside must-haves.

 

  1. Nifty Tension Rods: Tension rods and curtain rings can be used to hang bows in daughter's bedroom. While it's certainly functional, the setup also happens to be full of visual appeal.

 

  1. Garment Rack: Those with limited closet and drawer space may find a freestanding clothing rack useful. Easily make your own with two wooden ladders or purchase one with double rails and extra shelving.

 

  1. Floating Nightstand: Floating nightstands have two major benefits: They free up floor space and provide storage for bedside needs.

 

  1. Headboard Shelves: Why not let books and decor surround you while sleeping? It keeps your favorite items within reach and creates a focal point, even in a small space.

 

  1. Dresser Alcove: Amp up interest in the bedroom by not settling for the typical dresser against the wall. Instead, build an alcove specifically to house the dresser and then paint both the alcove walls and the dresser the same color, almost to give the impression that they just exist as part of the wall. The final look is a great focal point for the room! Plus, the carved-out section offers plenty of space for the TV above the dresser and the hats hung around it.

 

  1. Bins on Shelves: A simple bookcase can get a space-saving upgrade by placing small bins on the shelves. If they're in a kid's room, use the bins to store books, toys, accessories and smaller garments. You'll still have plenty of space on the shelves for other items.
