Smart bedroom storage ideas that don't cost the earth

With a bludgeoning population, space is at a premium. The cost of housing is another issue that makes living in large spaces unaffordable for most people. Coming to the crux of the problem, storage space can become a concern when you don’t have room to store your things. So, how do you make storage space in your designer’s interior? Let’s find out how to store your books, old albums, and winter woollens, in your smart bedroom.

 

Some insanely simple storage solutions for your bedroom!

Storage doesn’t have to create clutter; nor do you need to stash your extra clothes in suitcases on top of your cupboards!

 

Storage beds

Yes, there is nothing new about storage beds. Most homes have them. The trick is to elevate your bed, giving you more room underneath. You can take it up to around 2 – 2 ½ feet so that getting into bed is not too difficult. The space underneath will give you ample storage for extra sheets, blankets, towels, and pillows. Pullout drawers will work magnificently!

 

A side table that doubles as storage seat

 

Smart bedroom storage ideas can go a long way in helping you find that much-needed space. A bench or seat can play more roles than you can imagine! You can have storage underneath, and a place to keep your table lamp or books too! If space permits, you can have a long bench or chest.

Storage space behind the door

How is it possible to utilise space behind the door; you may well ask! Well, smart bedroom storage ideas are all about doing the unconventional! Depending on the space you have, you can make a shelving unit, behind your door, to keep books, holiday mementos, and other knick-knacks. When the door is open, it will lock into the cupboard-like space. You will need at least 8-10 inches of space behind the door to pull it off.

 

Floating shelves

Storage ideas for small bedrooms on a budget are essential when you are trying to save money. Floating shelves can be installed artistically, giving the room a quaint look. If your storage is unappealing, you can use cane baskets or fancy storage boxes to keep your clutter in. The boxes and baskets, placed on the floating shelves not only add appeal to the room, but you can also store your things without the room looking messy. For added appeal, you can place some plants or shells beside the boxes.

 

Wardrobes with sliding doors

 

The sliding doors will decrease the space your wardrobe will need as the doors don’t open outwards. Mirrors on the sliding door will make your space look bigger too!

Chests and trunks

Bedroom storage furniture need not be expensive. Antiquated chests or trunks not only add pizzazz to the décor but are great for storage. You can place them piled on top of one another, creating an intriguing look. You can easily find suitable trunks at flea markets.

 

Window seats with storage

An amazing way to have your cake and eat it too is framing your window with side storage and a window seat. The seat will act as a place to relax with storage underneath. A great place to spend a relaxed morning with a cup of tea! Don’t forget the throw cushions!

Behind the bed storage

 

Clever storage ideas for small houses can have their uses. Framing a bed with shelving units on the top and sides is a great way to utilize that extra space. Not only will they add interest to your room but you will get loads of storage space!

 

With a little imagination, any space can be used effectively. Once you get the ball rolling, you will be amazing at the ideas that crop up in your head!
