9 of the best storage ideas for your bedroom

It's high time to upgrade your bedroom storage: from key pieces of furniture to cleverly used nooks and crannies, these 9 ideas will help you make the most of every space in your bedroom!

Modern chest of drawers

When it comes to bedroom storage furniture that has both good looks and plenty of storage space, consider a large modern chest of drawers. It's an ideal piece of storage that will be functional for years to come.

If you have the space to install a modern chest of drawers in your bedroom, it will allow you to store clothes, books, files and anything else you want to put away. You can also use the storage surface as a dressing table by installing a chair and mirror, or you can decorate the top of your dresser with decorative objects.

Bedside table

To add storage to your bedroom, simply choose a bedside table. First of all, bedside tables are compact, so they can fit into any space. Many come with drawers, giving you even more storage (on the surface, inside and underneath) for everything from books to phone chargers to slippers, all within easy reach of your bed.

Clothes cupboard

The advantage of clothes cupboards is that this type of storage takes up space vertically rather than on the floor, and that's a big advantage for bedrooms with little surface area.

Think of the wardrobe as an all-in-one piece of storage. It's both a chest of drawers and a closet, allowing you to store everything from clothes and shoes to bed linen and towels. It usually has deep storage compartments that allow you to create your own storage system inside with baskets or bins.

Wall-mounted shelves

In any small bedroom, apart from cupboards and a chest of drawers, clever storage solutions such as wall-mounted shelves are essential. Those with compartments are even better for storing small everyday items.

Whether you hang them above your bed or along an empty wall, wall-mounted shelves offer open storage space that doubles as an attractive presentation. They can conceal random decorative elements, such as books, plants, candles or artwork.

Under-bed bins

The space under our beds is often under-utilized. It's an ideal storage space for easy-access baskets and bins. If you're short of ideas for bedroom storage, make the most of this space.

Whether you use pretty decorative baskets or add a sliding system of plastic bins under your bed, this is the ideal place to store seasonal clothes, shoes, blankets and other bulky items. Remember to use lidded bins, which keep dust out. This type of storage is ideal for children's rooms, where there are lots of frequently unused items that need to be put away for the time being.

Storage bench

One of our favorite bedroom storage ideas is the addition of a pretty and practical storage bench. It offers comfort as a seat while allowing you to put away clutter.

Storage under the padded seat is ideal for extra blankets, sheets and pillows. At the same time, it fits perfectly into your bedroom as an end-of-bed seat. It's a simple and elegant idea of storage!

Bookcase with open shelves

To replace bedside tables and chests of drawers, consider an open bookcase as bedside storage. This makes use of vertical wall space, and the shelves become a kind of focal point in your bedroom.

It's a creative approach to bedside table and bedroom storage that saves you a lot of floor space. You can use a shelf for bedside table essentials, books, artwork and other small decorative items you want to display.

Bedside chests of drawers

Use a pair of chests of drawers instead of standard bedside tables to increase storage. Usually designed with three drawers, chests of drawers are ideal for larger bedrooms.

Dressers can hold clothes, extra linens and other personal items while remaining within easy reach of the bed. This approach works well in couples' bedrooms, as it gives each person their own storage space.

Lidded baskets

If you've already set up your main storage items and are looking for smaller containers to hold your stuff, baskets are always our best bet. Often sold in sets, they're perfect for bedrooms.

Whether you use just one or a set of different sizes, they always give you a sleek, chic look and can hold more storage than you think.
