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.

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.

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.

Hang Pants on S-Hooks

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.

These small bedroom storage ideas will be vital when every spare inch of space counts. By thinking outside the box, you can make a real difference to the available storage in your small bedroom. 

Clothing littering your floors, piles of messy make-up and out-of-control laundry mountains aren’t exactly conducive to a restorative night’s sleep. But when your belongings are overtaking your boudoir, it’s hard to imagine the space ever feeling like a relaxing sanctuary. 

If this sounds like your space, it’s high time for a storage makeover: from key furniture pieces to cleverly utilized nooks, these bedroom storage ideas and small bedrooms will help you make the most of every square inch and get that clutter under control once and for all.

Small bedroom storage ideas

As the popular saying goes, there’s 'a place for everything and everything in its place', and it’s certainly true that most of us feel better when we are organised. ‘It helps us think clearly,’ says Mark Adam, MD of Vitsœ . And when it comes to tidy bedroom ideas , proper storage is your finest weapon in the battle to control clutter.

1. Build storage into the wall

(Image credit: Time Inc (UK) Ltd)

Small bedroom storage ideas should be creative and beautiful – there is no need to compromise on style in a tiny space. 

In addition to bedside tables, Nina Campbell recommends creating shallow niches on either side of the bed. ‘I find it maddening not to have somewhere to put a glass of water or a book, so I have done this a few times,’ she explains.

2. Keep storage simple and fuss-free

(Image credit: Studio Peake)

When choosing the best small bedroom storage ideas, look to key pieces of bedroom furniture that are simple, fuss-free and almost minimal in their designs. 

When designing built-in wardrobes, try to ensure that they don’t end up dominating the space. A simple design such as this one by Studio Peake , which has no frame and classic V-grooved panels, works well.

3. Create a walk-through wardrobe

(Image credit: Barlow and Barlow)

‘Creating a walk-through wardrobe is a good way to separate your bedroom from your clothes storage and have a more serene sleeping space, especially if you don't have the space to create a designated dressing room,’ says Lucy Barlow, founder and director of architectural interior design studio Barlow & Barlow .

In this project, the design team decided to lacquer the wardrobes in a rich emerald green color to make a luxurious statement entrance to the bedroom. Lacquer finishes are not only a useful alternative to paint when it comes to incorporating color into furniture, but are a practical option too, as the coating sets into a hard, durable finish.

4. Go bespoke in a small space

(Image credit: Rachael Smith)

‘My number one tip for maximizing storage in a small apartment bedroom is to commission made-to-measure cabinetry,' says Irene Gunter, interior designer and founder, Gunter & Co . 'Tailored to the dimensions of your space, the wardrobe or shelving can be designed to work round any quirks, such as a sloping ceiling or an awkward corner.’ 

5. Make a feature out of storage 

(Image credit: Tamsin Johnson)

Storage need not be dull, instead, use statement paint ideas and tricks to give a tired bookcase or cabinet a new lease of life.  

Sydney-based interior designer Tamsin Johnson developed this consciously sophisticated scheme with a rich green bookcase taking center stage. 

‘The green antique French carved oak bookcase with soft yellow highlights anchors the room while the soft mauve linen bedding provides a tranquil element.

6. Utilize awkward corners

(Image credit: Future / Matthew Williams)

As the old saying goes, a tidy room is a tidy mind – so it is important we keep our bedrooms clear in order to feel calm and relaxed. 

Here, an awkward corner has been transformed into useful space with a boxed-out design. It allows any electrical wires to be hidden away safely while also creating a clever recessed shelf for bedside essentials. 

This contemporary design is made more effective with varying widths of panelling used throughout the whole room, which when combined create illusions of depth and length to help the space feel bigger. The textured wooden finish completes the scheme for a warm and welcoming look. To achieve a similar style, opt for real oak, pine or walnut wood veneer wall paneling ideas .

7. Choose built-in small bedroom storage to maximize space

(Image credit: Emma Lewis)

If you are looking for box room ideas , or your space has an awkward shape such as the eaves of a loft room, sometimes built-in units can offer the optimal storage solution. Sticking with a simple, neutral design will ensure the style stands the test of time, making the initial investment worthwhile. 

For something a little less permanent, get the look by installing a bank of freestanding wardrobes along one wall, shopping around for models that fit the space as fully as possible.

8. Utilize dead space

(Image credit: Carolyn Barber)

The bed is usually the single largest furniture item in any bedroom, so it makes sense to use some of this space for storage. Simple trundle drawers or storage containers tucked neatly away give easy access to towels or spare bed linen. If you prefer a clean look, try hiding them under a valance.

9. Factor in fitted furniture

(Image credit: Paul Raeside)

While freestanding furniture has its uses for both storage and display, there is nothing more efficient than well-designed, fitted furniture that allows you to squeeze every inch of use out of even the most unpromising corner in a streamlined way. 

The key is to wake up to your home’s hidden potential. 'Furniture designed specifically for a room will look as if it has always been there,’ says furniture designer and maker Claire Darwent . ‘It’s good to live with, and an asset when you come to sell your home.’

10. Feature to floor-to-ceiling furniture

(Image credit: Mel Yates)

Play up to a room's assets. Maximize storage by using clever multi-functional furniture where suitable, using the walls and height of the room as well as the floor space. 

Plan carefully to incorporate an easily accessible place for each item, which will also help keep it permanently neat. If made with beautiful doors, wardrobes are very much part of the design of the room.

Bear in mind, too, that mirrored bedroom storage will help the space feel bigger and brighter.

11. Create a storage system

(Image credit: Future / Paul Raeside)

Pull together two or more shelving units (or wardrobe carcasses) and arrange clothing and boxed up accessories into an open storage system. You could use clothes rails with shelves above to create a similar look. 

Go the whole hog and have a custom-made storage system made for you. Take inspiration from these walk-in closet ideas to plan a storage solution that will accommodate everything from clothes, shoes and accessories to bulky duvets and bed linen.

Otherwise, a bedroom organizer or two should help transform an existing closet into a storage-savvy haven.

12. Keep small bedroom storage hidden

(Image credit: Mel Yates)

The end of the bed can often benefit from a handy perch to sit on whilst putting on shoes, as well as for additional occasional storage. Padded footstools or blanket boxes offer a brilliant two-in-one option here, packing lots of storage in to a relatively small space.

13. Build around the bed

(Image credit: James Balston)

Bespoke furniture really comes into its own in small spaces. You can build into every niche and alcove, get the best from awkward spaces such as under the stairs, and build around architectural features such as pillars. 

Slim units and shelving will add storage to narrow spaces such as around the bed, and cupboards can go all the way up to the ceiling. A bespoke furniture designer or specialist fitted furniture company usually offers a full design service including site visits, drawings and all manner of clever internal fittings, but don’t overlook the skills of a good joiner too, especially if they have an eye for design and come recommended first-hand.

14. Take it outside

(Image credit: James Balston)

Most homes suffer from bottle-necks, so think laterally about how to free up space. Can a small bedroom have wardrobes or shelving in the hall outside, with dressing room appeal? Challenge your preconceptions of traditional dressing room ideas , whilst making sure any solution is practical.

15. Balance the look

(Image credit: Emma Lewis)

A combination of closed closets and open shelf storage will feel lighter and creates space for display. Mirror, glass and any reflective surface will keep the look bright and airy while movable panels, screens and furniture bring versatile flexibility. 

And never underestimate the designers’ favourite trick – a light, bright decorating scheme. Clever bedroom lighting ideas never fail to enhance the sense of space.

16. Display pretty paraphernalia

(Image credit: Jody Stewart)

Often unused and unloved, the alcoves on either side of a bed act as the perfect foil for open shelving. Display your prettiest objects, accessories or even books for all to see.

17. Keep it behind closed doors

(Image credit: Anna Stathaki)

Built-in alcove cupboards max out the storage potential of a chimney breast wall. The shallow section over the chimney breast needn’t go to waste – just add floating shelves and a small table top for the perfect vanity unit space, like in this stylish gray bedroom .

18. Rethink your layout

(Image credit: Alicia Taylor)

It's always tempting to reinstate a fireplace into a chimney breast that has been filled in, or, as we mentioned above, to build closets across it. However, placing the head of the bed on a chimney breast can be a good use of space – and of a focal wall. That way, you can devote the alcoves above, not just to bedside tables – but to an entire storage system, too. 

Putting wall lights over the bed, rather than on bedside tables, is another handy small bedroom layout idea to free up space.

19. Split a small bedroom with a glazed partition

(Image credit: Davide Lovatti)

This small bedroom storage idea might be perfect for you if your space is on the long, narrow side. Putting a glazed partition in to split the room two thirds to one third allows you to put a wardrobe in one section, and to place more storage furniture against the partition in the bedroom section. Clever.

20. Make space for a desk – and paperwork storage

(Image credit: TG Studio)

Post-pandemic, we are more than ready to embrace the idea of desk space – and the necessary accompanying storage – featuring in a bedroom, even a small one. The best solution? Hidden desks , which can be clever solutions like the one above, desks within wardrobes or even dressing tables that can double up.

How can I get more storage in my small bedroom?

Even the most humble of box rooms has the ability to serve as a comfortable bedroom, and clever use of storage furniture can turn it into a multi-functional space too, incorporating useful study and storage areas. Careful planning and a dash of inspiration are all that’s needed to maximize a small bedroom’s storage potential.

Do you have room for a small walk-in closet design or is space tighter, in which case sliding doors may be the most space-saving solution? Think about how much hanging space you need, whether you have lots of long dresses or multiple jackets and coats, and whether you prefer to hang or fold your shirts. Do you want drawers for lingerie, jewellery and accessories, extra-deep drawers for bulky clothes, or lots of shoe, boot and bag storage? You may also want to incorporate mirrors and lights that activate when the doors open.

'Start planning your room by considering storage. Go beyond joinery – a substantial chest of drawers can act as a bedside table; a divan can hold hidden storage and an end-of-bed blanket box can double up as a laundry bin,' says Bunny Pocock of Turner Pocock .

How do you organize a small bedroom?

Like any small space, the key to a successful compact bedroom is to create adequate storage within a functional layout.

Often in a small guest room, a couple of large, hard-working pieces of furniture will create a less cluttered look than several small pieces. When looking at guest bedroom ideas , consider how the space can serve more than one function, such a doubling up as a workstation too.

When square footage is at a premium, try incorporating a wall bed instead of a traditional sofa bed. It takes a standard mattress, offering greater comfort, and can fold away to look like a wardrobe or cabinet, freeing up valuable floor space for a desk and chair.

Ensure that the surrounding furniture is lightweight so that it can easily be moved to accommodate a pull-down bed. If you have adequate ceiling height, look at bespoke options, such as a simple mezzanine incorporating a sleeping area on a raised platform with a wardrobe or shelving below.

Small bedroom: 11 design ideas for a small room not enough space? Calm down, bases of panic.

If you're already a longtime friend of Houzz, then you know that competent interior design works wonders! And we, as always, are ready to throw a couple of very effective solutions just for such cases. To be exact - as many as eleven!

SPACE FOR LIFE

1. Stop vacuuming under the bed - take it to new heights
Placing the bed on the catwalk is a truly brilliant idea, especially in a small bedroom. A high podium becomes not just an additional place for storing all sorts of little things, but acts as a full-fledged alternative to a chest of drawers or even a closet. Most often, drawers are built into the podium, divided into sectors, but it’s up to you to store bed linen, seasonal clothes or precious canned tomatoes there.

Tip: A small podium 10-15 cm high is just a decorative element and nothing more. In order for it to bring real benefits, it is necessary to raise it at least to a height of 50 cm. You can often find meter-long podiums, as in the photo, but in this case you will need to build steps or take care of the stairs.

2. Make the irrelevant appropriate
If you are the victim of architectural sophistication and the “happy” owner of an irrational recess in the wall, then this advice will be useful to you, like no one else. Just fill this ridiculous formation with floor-to-ceiling shelves (like it was meant to be from the start). In addition, you must agree: there is no extra space for storing things!

Tip: To decide on the material of the shelves and the height between them, you should at least roughly estimate what exactly you are going to store there. Too thin shelves can bend under heavy weight, but very massive ones should not be purchased without special need. Firstly, they visually load the interior, and secondly, they will simply cost more.

3. Find a niche and use it
Sometimes we inherit wall recesses, sometimes we make them ourselves. Say, in small and narrow bedrooms, they are absolutely justified. Thoughtful niches are a great additional storage space for, for example, books. See what library fits into this shallow built-in shelving in the photo, and imagine how many cabinets it would take to fit the same volume!

Ze|Workroom Studio

4. Extend the window
If your bedroom is 75-80 cm from the floor to the window sill, then it's time to replace this useless “flower container” with an excellent wide tabletop that will allow you to get a full-fledged workplace. Not only will you get a lot of usable area as a result, but you will also work in the rays of natural light - is this not happiness?

But you can go even further and extend the tabletop to the entire length of the wall, and in the resulting space you can place various drawers, niches, or even use this place as a TV cabinet or game console.

favorite book. It is important to remember that the optimal height from the floor to the windowsill in this case should be about half a meter. And if the bed is located near the window, then the newly made sofa can be made its logical continuation. Of course, you will have to re-equip the window sill for these purposes, but, in my opinion, it's worth it.

Advice: Sometimes it's hard to find a company that will fulfill such a small order, and it will be expensive. Therefore, it will be easier and cheaper to order a modified window sill as a load for some furniture - for example, a closet or chest of drawers.

5. Hang the bedside table
Freeing up the floor and making the bedside table hanging is a wonderful solution for those who want to unload the sleeping area and make it more compact.

Cabbages & Roses Ltd

But in order not to drill the wall, you can cheat even more and get a light stand on thin, almost invisible legs instead of a massive cabinet.

Rock Kauffman Design

You don't have to limit your appetite to just one small shelf. After all, you can hang two of them at once, or even as many as three! Even so, you'll get extra storage space while still feeling airy and uncluttered in a small bedroom.

6. Find “space-saving” lamps
A bedside table without a lamp is a waste of money, but how much space does a table lamp take up! To save space, there are several options. Firstly, this is a pendant lamp from the ceiling itself, which looks extraordinary, but at the same time perfectly copes with all the tasks.

The second solution is a wall sconce. But whichever option you choose, in any case, the glow of the warm light of the lamps will elegantly decorate your bedroom, and the free space on the bedside table will be a great bonus.

If funds allow and a suitable two-in-one lamp comes across - of course, take it. Alas, the offer of such options on the market is limited, and you will not always find a model that is interesting in shape and design. 9]

7. Use furniture with "storage reserves"
No desire to "build" a podium and start repairs - a bed on a platform with ready-made built-in containers will do.

Tip: Choose models where drawers are located not only on one side of the bed, but around its entire perimeter. So you will have more branches, and access to them will be easier.

8. Complete the wall
And again we move to the window opening. Although the idea of ​​​​building a closet around it and thereby filling the entire wall is not at all new, it is incredibly effective and saves a lot of space. In addition, we will not spend money on slopes, since the sides of the cabinet will act as their role. And the place of the window sill can be arranged with the same cozy sofa, where you can wonderfully relax and admire the marvelous view from the window.

Tip: Don't get carried away with the depth of the closet, because the larger it is, the less natural light will enter your bedroom, which is not good!

Denis Komarov

It is not necessary to build a closet around the window. Most often, around the bed, we are used to seeing either a pair of bedside tables, or some small table with ornate legs, while the entire wall behind the bed remains empty or is covered by some kind of picture. But wouldn't it be wiser to put all this unused space to good use?

The best solution would be to build a wardrobe here, and install full-fledged modules on the sides, and build open shelves above the bed itself or install a lightweight connecting element that will visually make this design not so cumbersome.

9. Choose the “Right” Dressing Table
When choosing a dressing table, look for small, elegant glass models. They look weightless and completely dissolve in space, visually facilitating it. By the way, why not kill two birds with one stone at once?! Place a dressing table next to the bed, replacing it with a bedside cabinet.

Andrew Snow Photography

Another airy dressing table option that doesn't take up much space is a wide shelf that mounts directly to the wall or furniture. It will not be difficult to build such an “island of beauty”, especially if there is a man in the house with hands from the right place.
