163.9K 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

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

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

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

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

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.

7. Use a Pegboard to Get Accessories Organized

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

19.5K shares

The closet is just one of those places that gets messy all the time. These organizing hacks will help you organize closets easier.

Nothing beats the overwhelming feeling you get, knowing you’ve got for yourself a clean, organized closet.

And who doesn’t crave a nicely laid closet? Not me!

A well-arranged wardrobe would not only help organize and simplify your morning routine; it offers you enough space for some new shoes and clothes. That’s like everyone’s ‘closet wish.’

So many people wish they had some tricks to put their closet in top shape – I once did, too. Not anymore though.

Do you still fantasize about a dope closet organization? Here are some great ideas you could steal.

1. Plan Your Castoffs

Credit: recoveringshopaholic.com

Are you planning on cleaning out your closet? First, think of who you’d be giving out the castoffs to.

You may feel a bit more relieved knowing exactly where your stuff is going. So, support charities instead of just throwing all your clothes away.

2. Use Plastic Boxes with Labels

If your closet is small like mine and you’ve got no drawer space, organize your bras, socks, undies, belts, tights, and more with plastic boxes.

I simply applied the labels, which you can get just below. Print them out and use simple stick glue to get them onto the boxes.

Once you have the boxes labeled, it’s very easy just to pull out the box that you need, get your undies or bras out, and put them back on.

Using the vertical space in your closet will allow you to pack in way more clothes without the sense of mess!

Here is what the labels look like. I include empty ones, so you can just write whatever it is that you need on them. They’re super easy to print, cut out and glue to whatever! It won’t damage the surfaces 🙂


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

3. Hang Strategically

Credit: makespace.com

It’s easy to throw up your clothes on the hangers – carelessly. We don’t even give it a thought.

Of course, this is one thing that keeps your closet in a mess. So here’s the hack: to ensure your stuff is sectioned off, hang your tops, skirts, and blouses, over built-in shelves.

Pants and long dresses could hang on the part of the closet bar where there are no fittings beneath.

4. Ever Considered a Boot Organizer?

Credit: Pinterest

If there’s one item that easily ruins your organized-closet goal, that’s most likely your boots. Just a little touch can get those long footwear toppled over.

So, I recommend you get a boot organizer. The organizer is designed to accommodate as many as five boot pairs in a vertical order.

This creates room for five boots in one boot’s space. Great if you have a small bedroom and not a lot of storage.

5. Get Hangers With Hooks

With their open and slim nature, these hangers are the best tools to store pants, decently, in your closet. You can get them here.

The unique design makes it easy for you to grab a cloth off the rack, as you dress up in the mornings. Also, they give you an opportunity to use the vertical space in your wardrobe.

That’s super important if you don’t have a lot of space and want to organize a small bedroom.

6. Do You Own Wicker Baskets?

Credit: Pinterest

You probably do, if you don’t you can get some here. Yes, we all use the wicker storage baskets to keep those junk at bay.

Don’t you think placing them on your open-shelves would add some stylish appearance to your closet?

Most interesting is that these baskets come surprisingly cheap. And on top of all of that, they really help you to keep sheets, pillowcases, accessories, and underwear organized.

7. Get Your Purses on Shower Hooks

Credit: orgjunkie.com

Did you know shower hooks could come handy for hanging up your handbags and wallets on your closet’s hanger rod? Trust me; it does the work pretty much perfect.

This hack doesn’t only help to create space in your wardrobe; it also protects the bag’s handles from misshapen. These hooks are great for all types of accessories.

You can get some here.

8. Don’t Waste Your Wall Space

Credit: watercloset.ca

Rather than putting up belts, scarves, and related items on hangers and packing up valuable space on the bar, this trick may help.

Install a towel bar on that unused space of your wall, and design a personalized outlook for your accessories. You can install one on the doors too.

And if you hang a basket or two, you can even store the smaller accessories or other school necessities.

Towel bars aren’t that expensive and you can get one (or more) here. You might also want to consider buying a towel bar with a basket on top of it like this one here.

As always, you can just attach the basket-like this one here yourself.

9. Occupy the Entire Room

Credit: closetmaidpro.com

If you lack space in your closet, no worries. You could turn your entire room space into your closet.

Intriguing right? Well, that makes your clothes and shoes have the whole room, all to themselves.

My usual tips are to install bars on your doors, get vertical organizers like these ones here. You could also always sew up your own organizer to increase the storage!

10.

Use Built-ins

Credit: Pinterest

Perhaps you already have good-enough space for your shoes and clothes; sadly, your accessories are left ‘homeless.’

Built-in drawers are your best bet. They are most fit for storing your jewelry, scarves, and sunglasses.

Depending on the size of your drawers, it might make sense to get drawer organizers.

11. Raise Your Closet Rods Higher

Credit: lopressroom.com

This idea may sound ridiculous – until tried. Taking the bar higher helps to create more space for other fittings and items underneath your clothes.

This way, a shoe rack or dresser can still find their way under your hung dresses.

12. Add a Bar to Double Space

Credit: Pinterest

Do you need more space in your compact room to hang up your stuff? That’s a cakewalk: simply hang up another rod – above the existing bar.

For optimal versatility, opt for a design with hooks.

13. Your Door Can Take Your Shoes

One thing we love about high heels is the ease of storage. Their fittings to this storage hack make it seem as though the hills are designed for the hack.

Fix rails on the inner part of the door to save storage space. Trust – your shoes would be just fine there.

Here is a lovely door shoe rack you can try. But, you don’t have to store the shoes only.

You might as well use a basket hanging storage like this one here and store accessories.

14. Arrange Your Top Shelf

Credit: lukeprater.com

This will give home decor lovers some feelings for self-dividers. These organizers come real handy in storing stuff in their categories.

At the same time, this will prevent piled clothes from tripping over. You can get a few shelf dividers here.

15. Be Thoughtful of the Way You Organize Clothes

Credit: vipbootsbox. com

To make your arrangement easier, you may have to set up your closet to reflect your preferred wardrobe structure.

For instance, when selecting a dress for an outing, what primarily informs your decision? Weather condition?

The event? Or the type of garment? 

Use this format to separate your closet into sections.

16. Stagger Shoes

Did you know your shoes consume less space when the right and left of a pair face opposite directions? This is as simple as it sounds.

But, you’ll be surprised how much space you can save.

10 tips for decorating a small bedroom — INMYROOM

All small bedrooms are different: they can differ in the shape of the room, the height of the ceilings, and the location of the door window size. But in this post for each of them there is a suitable tip that will help turn a small room into a cozy and beautiful space. nine0003

1. Colors for the bedroom - tenderness and lightness

We are all familiar with a simple but effective method of visually enlarging rooms - for this you just need to paint the walls white. But if you want more color in the bedroom, then it is better to opt for pastel shades: with them, the room will also look more spacious and lighter.

2. Floors: laid diagonally

This point is best considered at the design stage. In a small bedroom, the floor should be light - just like the walls. Choose parquet or laminate in light shades. Life hack: for a small bedroom, choose a small parquet board and lay it diagonally: this way you visually make the room larger. nine0003

3. Furniture that does not weigh down the interior

For furniture in a small bedroom, the same rule applies as for walls and floors: it should not be dark. Another important condition is to choose objects with thin legs and without excessive decor. Transparent or mirrored furniture is also ideal.

And don't worry: you don't have to give up bulky furniture, just follow the measure! It is better to give up two small chairs in favor of one large one, and do not take up space with small items like coffee tables. nine0003

4. Mirrors - extra light and space

Drop your prejudice and add mirrors to your bedroom interior - they will make the room not only bigger, but also lighter, especially if you hang them opposite the window.

Large mirrored wardrobe doors are a good solution. But if this option seems too extreme for you, you can get by with a few small mirrors - any model will do, except mirrors in massive frames.

5. Storage: looking for an alternative to wardrobe

A sliding wardrobe is not the only way to organize storage space. Opt for pieces of furniture with a storage function: it can be a bed, an ottoman or a pouffe.

Another interesting solution is the podium bed: it is convenient to store out-of-season items and bed linen in built-in drawers.

6. Small bedroom - more light

Take lighting in a small bedroom seriously. Remember that three levels of lighting - upper (ceiling lamp), middle (spotlights, sconces and table lamps) and floor (floor lamps) - should not be turned on at the same time in order to maintain an atmosphere of softness and comfort in the room. nine0003

Do not forget about natural light, it should also be enough. Tip: do not use blackout curtains in the bedroom. But curtains made of light translucent fabric will scatter light and make the room spacious and bright.

7. Don't forget the door

In the design of a small bedroom, don't forget about the door. A great solution is to make the doors match the flooring, but the door in the color of the walls looks just as good.

When in doubt, white doors are a safe bet: they will look harmonious in any interior. By the way, to save space, install a sliding door, and hide the mechanism in the wall. nine0023

8. Stripe solves

If your bedroom ceilings are too low, nothing will lift them up better than vertical stripes on the walls. Horizontal stripes will help make the room longer. And you don't have to live in a completely striped room - to achieve the desired effect, it is enough to use only one wall.

9. Small bedroom decor - opt for moderation

When decorating a small bedroom, don't overdo it with decor. Your motto is "Less is better". After all, the more details and small items in the bedroom, the smaller it will look. The ideal solution is to put all the accessories in decorative drawers or boxes. nine0003

10. Bed linen is also decor

Don't leave the choice of bed linen for later - this is no less important part of the bedroom decor than mirrors or lamps. Now in stores you can find bed linen of a variety of colors, textures and materials, but if you are lost in this variety, then trust the classics - white bed linen suits any interior.

Expert opinion
