10 Attractive Ways to Optimize Small Bedroom Storage

Having a small bedroom means you need to think about storage, making sure you have a place for everything and everything in its place to create a clutter-free oasis for relaxation, rest, rest and sleep.

Organizing a place to store clothes is important, but don’t forget to create a place to store everything else so that your bedroom doesn’t look cluttered and chaotic.

These small bedroom storage ideas will help you find smart ways to keep books, extra sheets, glasses, accessories and other bedroom items neat and easy to access while maintaining a stylish look and ease of use.

01 Choose Storage Nighstands

When choosing bedroom furniture, you should look for nightstands with built-in storage, such as drawers, where you can store everyday items out of sight.

In this small bedroom by Emily Henderson Design, a wooden nightstand has hidden storage behind a textile front panel that can be removed using leather pulls, leaving a few extra items on top.

02 Use the Windowsill

A thick window sill serves as a headboard and nightstand in this small Swedish bedroom from Fantastic Frank.

03 Try a Dresser Nightstand

In this New York City apartment bedroom by Becca Interiors, a large chest of drawers replaces the nightstand, creating ample storage space for additional bedding, clothes, accessories and more.

The top is decorated with table lamps and objects that create a feeling of finished decoration.

04 Hang Magazine Racks

Hang a vintage magazine rack to add style and storage to the walls of a small bedroom, like this compact space from Frank Fantastic.

05 Add a Stealth Storage Bench

Thistlewood Farms added an upholstered ottoman at the foot of the bed to this light and bright bedroom. It serves as both a place to sit and a cover for extra blankets or anything else you need nearby but want to get out of sight.

06 Repurpose a Trundle Bed

Thistlewood Farms repurposed a folding bed to create extra storage space under the bed, lined with vintage newspapers instead of a mattress.

07 Add Storage Around the Bed

In this small Parisian bedroom by Neva Interior Design, built-in shelves around the bed provide ample storage space for everything from clothes to bedding, keeping clutter out of sight.

The U-shaped stand is painted a soft pistachio color, creating a niche that can be used as a headboard.

08 Outsource Your Shoe Closet

If your closet is getting crowded, rent a shoe closet and transform your shoe collection into a decorative piece by adding a row of shoe cabinets like this small bedroom storage solution from Neva Interior Thiết kế. Then decorate the top with objects and designs to make it look intentional rather than temporary.

09 Source a Vintage Crate

A vintage chest or chest adds character to a small bedroom, like the painted wood chest at the end of this small modern farmhouse style guest bedroom from My 100 Year Old House.

The interior can store extra pillows and blankets, and the durable top gives guests a convenient place to stow their suitcases.

10 Try Midcentury Furniture

Look for mid-century modern pieces that combine style and functionality with built-in storage.

In this Palm Springs bedroom by Michelle Boudreau, a pair of nightstands with double drawers keep the bedside table clutter-free.

A built-in floating console made of precious wood can serve as a desk in the bedroom or as a dressing table.
