A well-equipped bedroom typically includes a bed and a storage cabinet. However, to maximize storage space in a small bedroom, you need to think beyond the basics. While you can’t change the size of the room, you can make smart storage choices. Consider the following suggestions:
Optimize the height of the bedside cabinet
The bedside cabinet is an essential piece of furniture in a bedroom. It not only adds variety to the space but also provides a place to organize your belongings. By utilizing the concept of raising and narrowing the bedside cabinet, as shown in the accompanying photos, you can free up shelf space for items such as books, bedside lamps, decorative flowers, or stuffed animals, while reserving floor space for other purposes.
Create a creative wardrobe
An ideal wardrobe for a small bedroom should fit the wall surface to avoid wasted space. However, placing a large wardrobe is often impractical. Instead, consider utilizing a suitable corner and creating a multi-compartment open shelf. You can add boxes or containers to store clothes and use a curtain to keep the area tidy and prevent dust.
Utilize the space above and below
In a small bedroom, it is crucial to prioritize the widest and most visually appealing space for the bed. However, organizing storage in this room can be challenging. Two areas worth considering for additional storage are the ceiling and under the bed. Installing an open shelf close to the ceiling creates a space to neatly store books and decorations. The area under the bed can be used to “hide” boxes containing shoes, slippers, or occasionally used bags and clothes. Combining both of these ideas can help make a small bedroom more organized.
