20 Bedroom Storage Ideas[Back]
1. Make use of dead space - If you have a window without any view or light, use the space to build shelving. Consider the width of your window recess – a narrow space can be used to display trinkets and framed photos; deeper ones can be used for books.
2. Hanging Around - Short on bedroom wardrobe space ? Hang your clothes on multi-garment hangers, and you’ll save around 10cm of hanging room. The Holding Company – www.theholdingcompany.co.uk has a few options, starting from £9.95.
3. Hidden Away - Use the space under your bed to stash seasonal clothing, or things you don’t use very often. Invest in proper boxes and tubs, to keep your items dust-free, well-organised and in perfect condition.
4. Stair Storage - Even your stairs to the bedroom can be put to good use with a willow stair basket from the The Cotsworld Company, £22.95, which will keep your stairs tidy and clutter-free.
5. Changing Space - Maximise space in your baby’s nursery by choosing a change table with shelving space underneath. Then not only are your nappies, lotions and wipes within easy reach, you will also free up drawers and cupboards for all those adorable baby outfits!
6. Get yourself organised - Keep your smalls accessible with a drawer organiser. Each square fits a pair of socks, tights or a pair of knickers, with the result that you’ll make the most of your available drawer space and you’ll never be rummaging around for underwear in the morning again.
7. Corner Units - Maximise wasted corner space and create the perfect place to house a pot plant, the telephone or simply the bedroom reading light.
8. Ironing Board - It might be one of your least favourite jobs but the ironing has to be done! But an inexpensive storage unit from Argos, for just £4.99, and you’ll enjoy putting the dreaded things away even more.
9. Keep a lid on it - Wicker baskets look so natural and stylish and are wonderful for storing just about anything. Choose ones with lids to keep your belongings neat and dust-free. The Cotsworld Company has a brilliant range.
10. Vacuum Packed - You can maximise storage space by packing bulky items, like jumpers, in Vacusacs, available from Cucina Direct. Made from strong plastic, they reduce to a quarter of their original size when the air is removed – brilliant.
11. Blanket Box - It’s worth buying a bed base with built-in drawers – you’ll be able to store all your blankets, linen and spare pillows without taking up space that you want to use for anything elese.
12. Show no mercy - It may sound obvious but one way to maximise your storage space is to have a really good clean-out. The more stuff you get rid of, the more new stuff you’ll be able to store. Aim to do this at least once a year.
13. Wardrobe Love - Why have a mirror mounted flat to the bathroom wall, when you can have mirrored doors on a cabinet, leaving extra space to lovingly arrange your lotions and potions.
14. Suitcase Storage - Got suitcases in the bedroom and rarely travel? They’re a storage opportunity going to waste. Use them to pack away clothes and bed linen.
15. Kid’s play - Everyone knows that children’s bedrooms are the place where smart storage is absolutely crucial! Bright plastic cubes and rattan baskets look great and keep toys and books neatly off the floor.
16. Window Seating - Make the most of your view, if you have one, by building a window seat in your window – but build it with a lidden seat, so that you’re creating storage space, too.
17. Don’t forget the door - Use the insides of your wardrobe doors to hang a shoe bag, racks for ties, scarves or even your jewellery.
18. Wheel it out - Woolworths do some great underbed storage boxes on wheels. For just £6.99, you’ll be able to easily access things that you usually keep tucked away.
19. Loft Space - If you have access to your roof space through the ceiling upstairs, it’s definitely worth looking at making the space useable for storage. It may be as simple as using tongue and groove boarding but you may wish to call in the professionals for this one, and make sure that it’s 100% safe.
20. Sling Your Hook - Hooks are discreet and easy to affix and provide the ideal place to hang coats, dressing gowns and towels. Make the most of that space on the back of your bedroom or bathroom doors.
