I have a clean and highly functional living space. I have achieved that in my bedroom by going to the max and getting organized.
Now I want to share with you my best innovative storage ideas. I consider these ideas solutions to problems many of us have in our bedrooms.
When I say “bedroom,” I mean any kind of intimate space—a room with a bed, a closet that needs to store things well, or a small room that must be somewhat multifunctional. The problems I address here may also apply to some bedrooms that serve as home offices.
So I have tried to groove these ideas along a workspace-friendly path.
The 15 Best Bedroom Storage ideas
1. Under-Bed Drawer Storage
The under-bed drawers are a stylish and practical solution for a bedroom with space issues. These sleek compartments fit unobtrusively under the bed, making them perfect for storing things you don’t need immediate access to.
But they are so unfussy and good-looking that you could also use them to store items you want to see when you open a drawer. And you can build a set, with as many drawers as you need, to fit under your bed frame.
2. Wall-Mounted Shelving
Bedroom wall shelves are a beautiful storage solution. Like the best furniture, they can help make your room feel bigger while also serving as a design element.
Their basic installation makes them adaptable to almost any bedroom. You can put them high, low, or in between.
You can use them to display all manner of items close at hand or to show off the few things you want someone to see when they first walk in. Even the way you load your wall shelves can make them a more effective design feature in your room.
3. Over-the-Door Organizer
Make your bedroom elegant, even with the space constraints. Here’s how: Install an over-the-door organizer that offers both style and function.
This is a storage solution that allows you to hold your decluttering attempts in a stylish light. Use its compartments or pockets—and they are sleek and beautiful—to hold anything from accessories to shoes to curiosities you’d prefer not to have seen in the living space “beyond the door.” The perc on this?
Its understated design allows any type of decor to hold it without exfoliating an unsightly vibe.
4. Multi-Hanger Closet Rod
The appearance of the bedroom closet can be quite an unsightly one. However, the impression can be vastly improved by a smart organizational tool like the Multi-Hanger Closet Rod.
To the eye, it is a modern take on the basic bedroom closet rod. But it is more than just a pleasing form: It is also a highly efficient way of hanging close to hand and within eyesight.
Indeed, it holds as many as five different closet hangers while using up the space of just one rod and maintaining a sleek and stylish profile.
5. Storage Bench Seating
Add a stylish and practical storage solution to your bedroom in the form of a storage bench. A storage bench provides hidden storage compartments for the things you want to keep out of sight—like linens, clothing, or accessories—that you need to retrieve easily when getting ready in the morning.
A storage bench can also be your go-to spot for putting on shoes. You might say that a storage bench is a little bit of everything in your bedroom: function, fashion, and a flexible friend for whatever room you’re in.
6. Floating Nightstands
A stylish and minimalist bedroom storage solution is afforded by floating nightstands. They free up floor space in a room, make it look modern and are mounted on a wall.
But within the confines of modernism, there is the danger of coldness and lack of character. A piece of contemporary furniture can be warm and charming.
It can both look good and serve basic, unfussy functions. There is a modern nightstand that does all that.
7. Corner Shelf Unit
A corner shelf unit is a sophisticated bedroom storage solution that beautifies while it spatially economizes. Best suited for dormers, nooks, and crannies—where traditional storage solutions would either crowd or simply not fit—a corner shelf unit sifts your humble moat into a moat of elegance.
It also does things with lighting and semaphores that make your flameless candles seem way more flam-y than they would otherwise. Most important, a corner shelf unit adds a visual dimension to your bedroom that’s not quite floor-to-ceiling, a topographical gradient of graphic design that lifts your lids at just the right angle.
8. Hidden Compartment Headboard
Function meets elegance in the hidden compartment headboard, which offers secret storage and an enhancement of the borderline “blah” aesthetic of the ordinary headboard. With compartments, it covered what PopSci referred to as “the biggest drawback to any headboard: a lack of storage”; without compartments, it was just another headboard with another kind of “blah” factor.
For the ideal bedroom that is sort of dull and lifeless but not cluttered, that is, for my ideal bedroom, compartments seem key.
9. Rolling Clothing Rack
A clothing rack on wheels is an eye-catching way to store your bedroom clothes. A clothes rack combines the functions of both a garment and an appearance model.
It showcases your favorite outfits while serving as a convenient way to access all your looks. Plus, it’s on wheels!
A wheeled garment rack allows the user to rearrange the ensemble from outfit to outfit.
10. Stackable Storage Bins
Stackable Storage Bins offer a sleek and organized solution for bedroom storage, blending functionality with aesthetics. These multi-use bins are available in a number of colors and materials, so you can really personalize your space.
They’re great for stashing away not just clothes but linens and other accessories, creating a neat look that’s not just functional but also a visual treat.
11. Foldable Fabric Storage Boxes
Bedroom organization can be achieved through the use of fabric storage boxes that are both stylish and practical. The boxes complement any type of decor and come in a range of colors and patterns that add a touch of class and make them suitable for any room.
When not in use, the storage boxes collapse. Their space-efficient design and aesthetic appeal make them a good choice for any room, whether for storage under the bed, in a closet, or on an open shelf.
They are perfect for storing clothes, toys, and a wide variety of other room contents.
12. Jewelry Wall Organizer
Increase the sophistication of your bedroom with a Jewelry Wall Organizer, a stylish solution that combines effortless function with alluring design. This innovative storage system allows you to show off your accessories in a way that’s as convenient as it is decorative.
Your jewelry will be right at home on this wall-mounted organizer, which maximizes presence and function without sacrificing an ounce of beauty. Indeed, when it comes to your bedroom, why not make a bewitching display of your stunning collection?
13. Bedside Caddy
An attractive and functional bedside caddy is an exquisite storage solution that organizes your most important items right at your bedside. It’s a fantastic way to keep things tucked away but still close at hand, and these caddies look gorgeous doing it.
You might call it “elegant efficiency” for your interiors. No more searching for your book (or E-reader) while half-asleep; it’s right there, perfectly organized, in your caddy.
14. Modular Closet Solutions
Modular Closet Solutions offer a sleek and customizable approach to bedroom storage, emphasizing both functionality and style. These systems let you combine parts like shelves, drawers, and hanging rods to form a tailored, neat area.
Placing emphasis on beauty, they not only make your bedroom visually appealing but also act as a space-saving storage solution for your wardrobe and accessories.
15. Shoe Cabinet with Mirrors
The Shoe Cabinet with Mirrors
A storage solution that is sleek and stylish, the wardrobe cabinet provides ample room for shoe organization. Its mirrored front, though, is what really makes this piece shine.
The light that a good-size mirror can throw around a room cannot be overstated. The secret to using mirrors effectively is to position them where they can reflect as much light as possible and not so much where they obtrusively stare back.
This cabinet strikes an excellent balance. It is ideal for the uncluttered, contemporary look that many of us strive for in our bedrooms.
