Bedrooms often need more storage than other rooms. You need to find somewhere to store clothes, accessories, and out-of-season items, so you can need a lot of space. Bedrooms can easily become crowded, which doesn’t exactly feel relaxing when you go to bed tonight. Luckily, there are lots of ways to add storage that still look great.

Buy yourself a bedside table or a cabinet with some storage space included. Bedside tables with drawers or a cupboard are a great way to hide away the things you might want at night without leaving them lying on the table top. Use it for things like your hand cream, pillow spray, glasses case, tissues, or the remote for your TV in a drawer so they’re kept tidy but still easy to access. A narrow bedside table works well if your room is narrow.

An ottoman at the end of your bed is a useful addition to your room. An ottoman gives you a place to sit when you’re putting your shoes on, and adds some useful storage. Furniture can make all the difference to a room, so choose a nice looking one, with room to stash extra bedding or blankets.

If your bed frame is high enough,you can buy storage boxes with wheels that can easily fit under the bed and be slid in and out when you want them. These boxes are ideal for shoes or out-of-season clothes. If you don’t like the way boxes look, look for a bed frame that has drawers already built in.

Stay traditional and attach hooks to the back of the door to hang coats and dressing gowns. For more space, buy hanging storage that is made to go over a door, which has pouches for shoes. Keep your shoes in it, get creative and use it to organize other small items, like hats, gloves, sunglasses, make-up, or toiletries. If your laundry basket is too big, swap it for a soft, fabric option, and hang that on the door.

Storage doesn’t always look nice, but you can still add it and hide it away. Furniture that doubles up as storage works well, like the ottoman idea. Add concealed storage for all kinds of items by stacking vintage suitcases at the end of the bed or as a bedside table. Look for a bed frame that has storage already discreetly built into it, such as small drawers in the headboard. You can get your belongings under control without squeezing in more bits of furniture and making the room feel just as disorganised and overcrowded.

By adding more storage options to your bedroom, you can keep things tidy and well organized, and make your bedroom a relaxing place for you to retire to at the end of the day to sleep and unwind. A well-organized bedroom is a more peaceful place to be, so it’s worth doing.
