Most Popular Bedroom Storage Solutions

If there’s one thing that always seems to be at a premium in the bedroom, it’s free space! Sometimes we need to be creative in order to find those extra few inches of storage space that could make all the difference. Let’s take a quick look at some popular bedroom storage solutions.

Under the bed storage – This is often wasted space but you can fit a huge array of containers, air tight bags and even mobile drawer units under the bed. This sort of storage is ideal for summer/winter clothes when they are out of use or if it’s a child’s bedroom it can be really useful for putting toys safely out of the way.

Bed settee/Fold down bed – When the bed is in its “up” position, there is immediately more floor space and therefore more storage space and we have already highlighted the possibilities for storing things underneath the bed.

Fitted sliding door wardrobes – Perhaps currently the most popular storage solution for the bedroom, they are so versatile and are able to store a multitude of things, often at the same time! Tailor made to a particular space, these wardrobes really are an asset to any bedroom.

Shelving – Shelving is another really versatile form of storage. Shelves can be fully visible on your walls or can be neatly tucked away inside your wardrobes, and you can have as many of them as your space will allow. Containers and baskets work really well with shelf storage too.

Light stands – Instead of having space consuming stands either side of the bed, that serve no other purpose than to provide you with light, why not use a small set of chest of draws on either side, so you still get the light you need but you get extra room to put things as well.

Bunk beds – Especially suited for the kids’ room, bunk beds have evolved a lot over the years and many of them are now packed full of storage opportunities, including drawers, cupboards and even desks with their own drawer units. This can certainly be a good way of freeing up some floor space.

Ottomans – A resurgence in popularity means that the ottoman makes our list of effective bedroom storage solutions. Typically placed at the end of the bed, concealed storage capacity can actually be quite generous and of course it can double up as a seat when required. Modern designs mean they can look good in any bedroom and they can be a great place to put your extra duvets, pillows and other bedding.
