Hang Extra Hooks

We spot several great small-space tips in this bedroom designed by David Kaihoi: 1) Mirror the inside of your closet doors. 2) Add hooks to the interior side of the doors for extra items and outfit planning. 3) Use bins to stay organized. Pro tip: If you don't need hooks for outfit planning, hang a dirty laundry bag there! It will take up less space than a structured hamper.

Keep Shoes Up High

If you have an amazing shoe and accessory collection, why not flaunt it? Keeping your shoes on shelves in an armoire, tall dresser, or built-in cabinet will also make it easier to pick out your outfit since they'll be at eye level. In this dressing room designed by Aerin Lauder, the wallpaper is as dazzling as the shoe collection. "My grandmother had the same wallpaper in her office," she shares.

Work Around Awkward Angles

If you don't have a closet, but you do have a clothing collection, stay organized and polished with custom wall built-ins that store everything behind closed doors. In this bedroom design by Corinne Mathern, the built-ins provide extensive storage and accommodate the irregular ceiling structure. They're also less deep than your typical dresser and armoire—a win for small bedrooms.

Optimize a Corner

Don't have a closet? Wardrobes work just as well and can make a design statement in your room. This stunning piece will have you admiring it every time you pass by. If you have an awkward and empty corner, invest in a great dresser or armoire that can bring it to life while also giving you an extra place to store all your items. This texture-rich corner in a small bedroom designed by Shawn Henderson can hold intimates and more.

Make It Feel Like a Boudoir

Designer Ariene Bethea's bedroom features a fun bedspread and wild Etsy bolsters. The mannequin and mirror give it a swanky dressing room vibe. Plan out and display outfits with a mannequin or use it as a makeshift coat rack. It's a pretty way to stay organized in an open space like a bedroom when your closet is too small. A vintage or antique-inspired option is the way to go.

Install Touch-Latch Doors

Flush with the walls, this closet disappears into the primary bedroom designed by Shapeless Studio, providing plenty of clothing storage without infringing upon the living space physically or visually. If you don't have the option of pulling out the power drills for custom builds, you can still utilize your wall with rods and floating shelves.

Use the Back of Your Door

Don't worry, your hat addiction is in good hands. A series of hooks can turn an empty wall space or the back of a door into the perfect place for storing your caps, sunhats, and beanies, as Kate Reid proves in this cozy bedroom.

Line Your Cabinets With Fabric

If your storage includes glass or wire doors, line them with a pretty fabric. This will hide all your stored clothing and add a little style to your bedroom and keep it from looking too crowded with clothing. You can use velcro to fasten the fabric if you don't know how to sew. We love the tight print designer Anna Spiro chose here to complement the cream paint and brass hardware.

Distract With Beautiful Patterns

Create Privacy With Barn Doors

Alison Victoria created a 360-degree rotating closet system with Closet Works that features a hidden full-length mirror and ample storage for shoes. Sourced from the Corbel, French doors that date back to the 1800s close off the modern space, which opens right up into the bedroom.

Dress Up Enclosures

Add some fancy ornamentations to your existing doors or built-in enclosures to give them a more polished look, like faux moldings and chic cabinet pulls. Use this stylish and sophisticated bedroom designed by Tamsin Johnson Interiors as a model.

Use a Coat Rack

It helps to buy hangers specific to the item to maximize what little space you do have. Pants, for example, can easily slide on and off of pants hangers thanks to their open-ended design. And you'll be able to fit more into your closet since they hang flat against each other. But when you truly have no space for bulkier items like coats, keep a coat rack in the corner of your bedroom so it looks organized even if it has to be out in the open.

Remove the Doors

Leanne Ford decided to remove the doors from this closet to make the bedroom feel large and more open. Plus, it probably motivates the occupant to stay organized since it's all out in the open. Doubling up your closet space is as easy as hanging up another bar. Speaking of which, choose a system that also includes hooks for maximum versatility. You can double up the number of clothes you store in your closet by adding a second level with a rod.

Use Up Every Last Inch of Space

Store all unseasonal items either under the bed or in hard-to-reach spots in your closet. This bedroom designed by Shari Francis has bonus storage space above the closet, which may not be convenient for everyday items but is perfect for extra suitcases or outerwear. And, if you don't have any more closet space to speak of, consider storing out-of-season items under the bed in boxes or invest in a savvy bed with a built-in platform that sits under the mattress for storage.

Build Into the Walls of a Connected Hallway

"Because my bedroom, bath, and closet are in the attic of my house, space is at a premium," says designer Tim Clarke. And that didn't stop him from making it work. "I utilized the angled areas under the eaves and installed hanging bars and pullout shelves. It's all perfectly hidden behind tongue-and-groove paneling with invisible touch-latch doors. I sleep in my closet!" If you need to cram bulky things like sweaters and jeans in there, too, vacuum bags will become your best friend.

Get Creative With Furniture

This genius small space solution gets a lot done while taking up as little of the floor as possible. Juan Carretero flanked the bed with two custom, ceiling-high armoires that function as closets, and the niche beneath the built-in sconce functions as a bedside table. Another similar clever solution? A storage bench or trunk at the end of the bed for more clothes that doubles as seating.

Kevin Scott

Install Layered Shelving

Layer one wall with shelving, or make one row stretch along the perimeter of the bedroom. You can use it to store everything from books to accessories, blankets, purses, shoes, and more. Designed by Studio DIIA, the exposed shelf above the bed houses books, the upper cabinets corral linens, and the closet across from the bed stores clothing. This is especially smart if you have high ceilings and can afford to use more of your vertical space without eating into useable floor room.

Save shelf space by hanging your pants with belt loops on S-hooks. This way, you can easily make them more compact. Bonus: You can see them all much better when you're choosing which pair to wear.

40 Ways to Organize a Small Bedroom

165.8K shares

A small bedroom can truly be a headache to organize. Having everything in one small space can get messy very quickly too!

Today, I’d love to share a few ways you can organize a small bedroom. These organizers will make your life easier and, hopefully, give you some inspiration.

1. Under Bed Shoe Drawers

Credit: HouseBeautiful.com

Beds in our bedroom take up a large space, so save it up by getting under bed drawers. Here is a nice wooden under-bed shoe drawer with wheels you could use.

You can use a drawer like that to store not only shoes. It’s a good place to keep all your sheets, towels, blankets, and other essentials that perhaps you don’t use on a daily basis.

2. Plastic Boxes with Labels for Wardrobe

It’s essential to use the vertical space in our closets to store more items. As you can see in the picture above, I have quite a bit of empty space under my shirt and sweaters inside the closet.

I’ve got a few plastic storage boxes and attached my very own labels to them. Now, it’s super easy to just pull one box out, get my undies, and put it back. With the labels, there is absolutely no confusion!

The best thing about these is that you can print out the labels and just attach them with a glue stick. No special printable sticker paper is needed! You can use these on baskets and even fabric storage boxes, they’re great.

I have designed a bunch of these labels for different purposes but you can also print out the empty ones and just write down your own categories.

You can download them for free below. Just add in your information and I’ll send the labels straight into your inbox immediately. 🙂

Happy organizing!

3. Book Shelves Over the Bed

Credit: HouseBeautiful.com

We often forget to use the vertical space above the bed. And that’s a huge mistake!

Have a collection of books? Install multiple bookshelves just above your bed and keep all your books there.

My personal favorites:

If you have so many books that don’t quite fit just above the bed, take an extra step, and make your own under-bed book organizer. That’s obviously if that space is free!

4. Turn Your Wall Shelving Unit into a Wardrobe

Credit: Pinterest

I absolutely loved the idea once I saw it online. If you have a small room, feel free to use wall shelving as the wardrobe.

You can hang all the sweaters, dresses and jackets just above the doors. Then, obviously use ladders to reach them.

Not a good idea for someone who’s afraid of heights. However, if you don’t mind getting up there to get your clothes, feel free to try this at home.

5. Corner Shelving Unit for Shoes

Credit: Pinterest

Perhaps instead of using floating shelves for books, install them in the corner, stack them up and store your shoes there?

It offers a super practical way to keep your shoes organized and will keep your room looking tidy and neat. And that’s exactly what we want.

6. Wall Hooks for Everything Important

Credit: Instagram

We often forget to use vertical space in our room. The truth is you can easily get everything neatly organized with wall hooks.

Get a few sturdy wall hooks, attach them to the walls and hang your bags, instruments or even accessories on them.

It’s truly a great way to get things organized. There are a ton of wall hooks that come in different shapes and sizes on Amazon.

Learn more about all the different ways you can use command hooks to organize your home.

7. Use a Pegboard to Get Accessories Organized

Credit: Instagram

This is an absolutely cute idea for those who have a lot of accessories. Organize them by using the vertical space of the wall.

A pegboard is great as a design piece, but it also has a crucial organization function. So, definitely incorporate it into your bedroom design.

8. Animal Head Wall Décor for Organizing Accessories

Credit: Instagram

If you’re a fan of animal head wall décor pieces and had them in your bedroom, use them for organizing jewelry. The through is you can truly use design pieces for organization too.

Couple it with shelves of different forms and you’ll have a beautiful looking room.

You can either go for triangle shaped shelves or hexagon-shaped shelving or good old square ones.

9. Rod Under the Shelves for Hanging Clothes

Credit: Instagram

If you have a few shelving units at home and you’re not using the space under them, install a rod. You can hang all your clothes under the shelf.

In this way, you’re going to be using more of the vertical space. And still not lose any space for books, baskets, or other goodies.

10. Use Storage Boxes on Shelves Too

Credit: Instagram

If you’re running out of space, you can easily make more of it by adding storage boxes to each shelf. You’ll be able to use more vertical space and store the small items.

Great for accessories, clothing items, school supplies, etc. Get fabric cubes with compartments and introduce even more organization into your small bedroom.

Easy, simple and works wonders when it comes to increasing room storage.

11. Rustic Jewelry Organizer

Credit: Amazon

A little accessory organizer on your wall can turn into an elegant design piece. This rustic jewelry organizer is just that.

It looks amazing, it’s super practical, and picking your accessories before going out will be so easy. Absolutely love the idea, so give it a try!

12. Your Own Clothing Rack

Credit: Instagram

In case you don’t have a wardrobe yet you’re tight on space, get a clothing rack. Get a rack with shelving like this one.

In this way, you’ll be able to store more items on it, not just clothes. You could easily get a few storage boxes and throw them in all your accessories.

If you’re creative, you can really use the rack and maximize the storage space. All of that while keeping it neat and organized.

13. Hanging Organizer

Credit: Craftsyhacks.com

Something as simple as a fabric door organizer like this one here can help you to increase storage in your small bedroom. It’s absolutely great for lighter books, notepads, and makeup products.

What’s more important, it’s cheap and functional.

14. Door Utility Rack

Credit: HSW.com

Get a cute, white door utility rack like this one here. It’ll offer you some extra space to organize your accessories, makeup and self-care products, and whatever else you need.

We often forget to use our doors for storing the very essentials we need. So, if you’re running out of space, definitely get one.

They look awesome too!

15. Use Towel Rods to Hang Shoes

Credit: Pinterest

If you’re one of those people who have a ton of shoes and no space to keep them, try this idea. Get a bunch of double towel bars like these ones here.

Make sure they’re double, otherwise you won’t be able to place shoes on them. Now, just stack them up and store all your shoes.

Let’s be honest, it looks pretty cool and gives you a chance to consider all your shoes before going out.

16. Closet Drawers for Organizing Clothes

Credit: Containerstore.com

These closet drawers are budget-friendly and can give you the ability to organize all your underwear, socks, shirts and accessories. The organizer offers a very easy way to do all that.

It doesn’t take a lot of space and isn’t very high, so you can easily fit it under hanging clothes or shelves. They look great too, especially when keeping them organized is so easy.

The compartments here are the key!

17. Keep Your Shelves High

Credit: Makespace.com

If you feel overwhelmed with the number of things you have. And installing shelves on the walls doesn’t seem like a great idea.

Try installing them just below the ceiling. In order to reach your things, you’ll need to get all the way up there.

However, you’re going to save yourself from bumping into shelves all the time and feeling overwhelmed with the amount of stuff on the walls.

18. A Storage Corner

Credit: delphinecosmeticdiary.com

I absolutely love how you can combine all the storage hacks to fit as many things as possible into the corners of the room. All of that while still looking organized and neat.

This is a perfect example of how you can do it all: use the corner, get the corner shelving, get a rack for hanging clothes as well as storage boxes. Elegant and yet so practical!

19. Stunning Agate Wall Hooks

Credit: lovelyindeed.com

Small bedrooms usually require us to maximize wall spaces. Forget the traditional wall hooks and use stunning agate instead.

To do this, you will need agate slices, moldable glue, 4-inch screws, and a drill. Agate slices are available at your local crystal shop, but if you don’t have one, you can buy a mix of agate slices here.

Read this tutorial to find out more about how it’s done in less than five minutes.

Aside from looking stunning, did you know that agate is known for repealing negativity and has a calming and soothing effect? I would definitely like to have it in my room!

20. Use Dollar Store Bins for Garments

Credit: lifesahmazing.com

Small rooms equal small closet spaces. To maximize your closet space, use dollar store plastic bins and roll your garments instead of folding them.

Stack them vertically on to the plastic bins. You will be glad to know this method holds more clothes than traditional folding and piling on top of each other!

Make it even more organized by labeling each plastic bin. Check out more Dollar Store storage hacks like this here.

21. DIY Mirror and Jewelry Box

Talk about maximizing the wall space. This two-in-one mirror and jewelry box is so ingenious. It’s hard not to replicate it. 

The idea is to mount a shelf onto your wall and cover it with a full-sized mirror. It’s such a smart idea. After all, you will need a mirror to check how your jewelry and other accessories match with your outfit, right?

22. Rolling Carts Are Your Best Friend

When you have a small space, anything that moves is super convenient. That way, you can always move it when you need extra space.

For this reason, you should have at least one rolling storage cart in your small bedroom.

There are many types of mobile carts available.

My favorite is this because it comes in an industrial wooden design, that goes with most minimalist décor. Also, it has built-in brakes, which is always a great safety feature for anything with wheels.

23. Hanging Laundry Hamper

Laundry bins can take up so much space, so why not hang them instead? This sleek-looking hanging laundry hamper can be hung behind doors or even on the toilet wall. 

It comes with a zipper lining on the bottom of the hamper, making it super easy for you to unload your dirty laundry straight onto the washing machine.

If you’re wondering where to get it, they’re sold online here.

24. Floor to Ceiling Closet

If you can’t have a walk-in closet because of limited room space, why not have a floor-to-ceiling one? Color-code the way you store your clothes for an added decorative effect.

Complement the sleek and clean look by using minimalist decorative storage boxes. The open shelving concept makes the illusion of a bigger space.

The best part is because it’s open, you are sort of forced to maintain the neat and tidy organization of your stuff. No more hidden unfolded clothes!

25. End-of-Bed Shoe Storage Ottoman

Credit: amazon.com

I love the functionality of this 2-in-1 small bedroom furniture. It sits right at the end of your bed, where you normally put on your shoe anyway, so why not turn it into an ottoman that stores your shoes?

The great thing is, it also folds compact when you need more space or move out of your existing one.

If you think this would look good in your room, you can get this storage ottoman here.

26. Wicker Basket Hampers

Credit: blogspot.com

Wicker baskets are storage solutions that also look great as decorative accents. They are great decorative accents for small spaces to place things you would require to use from time-to-time.

Place them on your bedside to hold throws, extra pillows, or even your extra linen. You can buy wicker baskets from specialty home stores, or create a similar-looking one inspired by this DIY project.

27. Use a Platform Bed

Credit: Instagram

If you don’t mind having a slightly raised bed, then a platform bed could be your solution to limited storage space. The idea is to mount a slat bed frame onto sturdy pieces of cube storage shelves to maximize the under-bed storage.

Finish the look by filling your cubes with decorative storage baskets like these ones.

28. Hanging Storage Organizers

Credit: Instagram

An excellent way of maximizing cabinets that don’t have built-in shelves is by using hanging storage organizers like the ones available here.

I love this brand of hanging closet organizer because it also has side pockets on them, which can hold small accessories such as purses, belts, or ties.

I would also complement this gray hanging organizer with a similarly-colored storage bin like these.  It has a transparent side, which allows you to see its contents easily.

If you don’t want this style, you can also go for the traditional storage box. But, add labels in front, so you know what is inside each bin.

29. Pull-Out Bedside Shelf

Credit: Instagram

Declutter your bedside tabletop by installing pull out shelves to hold your gadgets while they’re charging.

Click here for a full video tutorial on how pull-out cabinet drawers are converted into pull-out shelves.

30. Behind-the-Mirror Clothes Hanger

Credit: Instagram

This is such a brilliant idea of maximizing the space behind the mirror. It comes as no surprise that this concept came from Ikea.

Besides clothes, you can also use the rack to hold your umbrella, bag, and so much more.

31. Wall-Mounted Jewelry Organizer

Credit: homebnc.com

You can create your own cute and artistic jewelry organizer from scrap wood, or buy premade wooden shelves. My personal favorite is the decorative wooden picture frame I found here.

Stick a corkboard on one of the picture panels to hold earrings, and install screw hooks like these at the bottom of the frame to hold longer necklaces.

32. Floating Cube Shelves

Credit: hairsoutofplace.com

You probably can tell by now that maximizing your wall space is a trend in small bedroom spaces. 

Mount wooden cubes on your wall to create extra storage space. Add a bit of character by mixing different cub sizes, such as the one seen in this photo.

You can recreate this by using raw wood materials or use pre-fabricated cubes like the ones found here.

Whatever method you choose, make sure you mount them securely onto the wall with screws. Or, if you’re renting the place or don’t want damage to your walls, use heavy-duty Commando strips available on this page.

33. Tension Rod Shoe Rack

Credit: chasingabetterlife.com

Storing shoes can be a problem in tight spaces. But there are ways of creating extra storage space for your shoes, by using common household materials, like tension rods usually used hanging for curtains.

The trick is to find a niche in your bedroom where you can anchor the rods and hang your shoes on. The best thing about tension rods is you don’t even need to drill holes or use a nail or any adhesive to stay securely in place.

You can find tension rods at your local hardware stores, but if you struggle to find some, you can always order them here.

34. Headboard Mini-Bookshelf

Credit: wordpress.com

If you already have a headboard in place, this may be a little hard to pull off. However, if you are yet to have a headboard and are planning to get one.

You may want to consider building a small niche on each end of your headboard to serve as mini bookshelves to hold your nightly reads.

If for some reason, you can’t create your headboard, there are also relatively inexpensive headboards with built-in bookshelves, such as the one I saw here.

35. Above-Door Floating Shelf

Credit: apartmenttherapy.info

An area often overlooked is the space above your door. This can actually be used as a storage space, especially if you have a small bedroom.

For this project, you can use any wooden slab lying around the house and then paint it over to match your bedroom door’s paint. Alternatively, you can also buy these relatively cheap floating shelves, which can be installed without tools.

36. Under-Bed Shoe Storage

Credit: apartmenttherapy.info

Another excellent shoe storage location is under your bed. A lot of beds sit low above the floor; we tend to dismiss it as storage spaces.

What we don’t realize is that a double bed can store at least 14 pairs of shoes. You can make your pull out shoe storage by using some plywood or wood panels and paint to create the storage base.

Finally, attaching caster wheels like this for ease of pulling the shoe storage out from under your bed. Here’s a video tutorial on how similar shoe storage was done.

37. Under-Bed Linen Storage

Credit: apartmenttherapy.info

Another storage problem for small bedrooms is our linen. They tend to be very bulky and take up too much space in our tiny closet.

The good news is, there are storage bins specifically designed to fit perfectly under the bed and are wide enough to accommodate linens. There are various under-bed designs available, from wicker baskets to simple polyester ones.

My favorite is the under-bed storage bin I found here because they have covers that protect whatever is inside them. They’re collapsible when I don’t need them, saving me more storage space.

38. DIY Storage Daybed

Credit: apartmenttherapy.com

I honestly can’t think of a much better way to maximize a daybed than to install drawers underneath it to maximize storage space. These drawers would be excellent places to store linen, spare pillows, and so much more.

To guide you through how to create a 2-in-1 daybed/storage and a full list of materials needed, read through the tutorial found here.

39. Floating Makeup Dresser

Credit: Pinterest

Desks and vanity tables can be bulky and take up a lot of room space. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have a makeup dresser.

In fact, you can, but it will be mounted to the wall as opposed to on a desk. You simply use a combination of various floating shelves and wall-mounted drawers, mirrors, and lighting.

If you want a minimalist makeup dresser that doesn’t occupy too much wall space, you can get this compact floating one found here.

40. Maximize the Headboard Space

Credit: culturacolectiva.com

This photo shows two ingenious ideas of maximizing your headboard space. Both of which use rods to hang clothes on.

Perhaps my favorite out of the two is the one where you can use a curtain to cover the stuff that is hung behind the headboard. What’s yours?

The bedrooms aren’t exactly small, but the idea is quite good for any space!

Japan: Sleeping and working
Practical Japanese, especially in Tokyo, know firsthand what a very small apartment is, which means it's a sin not to use their wise tricks. Who said that the head of the bed has to be tightly supported by the wall? That's right, there is no such rule! Therefore, it can also be usefully used by organizing, for example, a compact but comfortable workplace behind the headboard.

But instead of standard bedside tables on the sides, you can make one hanging shelf or even a table next to the bed, where a lot of useful stuff will be placed. Just don't clutter up this table too much to avoid collecting dust and clutter that makes it hard to find the item you want.

UK: Show must go on!
In conditions of very expensive real estate, the British have learned to make the most of all the square meters they have. A vivid example is this British bedroom, where light cabinets with hidden handles, made in the entire height of the walls, save space not only visually, but also in reality. And a hanging TV, which also folds up, and your favorite shows will not be missed, and it won’t take up much space.

The owners of this apartment opted for a full-wall open storage system so as not to clutter up the space, but at the same time they slightly covered the shelves and cabinets with light curtains. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that the atmosphere of this bedroom seems to be soaring and free.

The Netherlands: No worries
The Dutch are known for their relaxed and laid-back style, so you should expect this spirit to be reflected in their interiors. Why bother and hide clothes in closets, if you can just hang them openly, making them part of the decor. In addition, access to it will become faster, and the moth will not secretly eat your favorite fur coat.

France: Multifunctional elegance
Looking at the tiny Parisian apartments, one sometimes wonders how the French fit in there at all. So in this small bedroom, they resorted to a tricky trick and put the bed not against the wall, losing a lot of useful space, but in the middle of the room. At the same time, a full-fledged storage system was built into the headboard, which perfectly complements the closet installed next to it - simple, but tasteful.
