Use Vertical Space with Wall-Mounted Shelves

wall storage ideas for small bedrooms.

When floor space is limited, look up! Installing wall-mounted shelves is a great small-bedroom storage hack that keeps your essentials within reach without taking up valuable square footage. Use floating shelves above your bed, or above your door to store books, decor, or anything you need to stash out of the way. Vertical space is like gold for small space storage. Don’t overlook this space!

Opt for Underbed Storage Or A Bedframe with Drawers Underneath

Underbed storage Drawers are a great solution for small bedrooms short on storage. You can also opt for a bed with built in storage. A bed takes up the most space in your room—so make it work for you! Choose a bed frame with built-in drawers, to store seasonal clothes, shoes, or linens and so much more.

Use Multi-Purpose Furniture

In a small bedroom, every piece of furniture should do double duty. Look for a storage ottoman that can be used as seating while hiding clutter or a bedside table with drawers instead of just an open shelf.

Concealed & Matching Storage Bins

A cluttered space looks even smaller, and ‘visual clutter’ is a real thing. To reduce visual clutter and create a cohesive space, choose matching and concealed storage solutions. A set of matching storage boxes on open shelves looks tidier than a mix of different colors and styles.

Choose storage solutions that come in sets, like bins, or baskets, that blend seamlessly with your decor. When shopping furniture for small spaces, prioritize pieces with doors and drawers to hide away items and keep the space looking streamlined.
