Difficult to have a lot of storage in your room. Between clothes, books and other things, you quickly run out of space! Instead of piling everything up everywhere and suddenly anywhere in the room, think of smart storage! Discover 22 practical storage solutions to optimize the space in your room.
1. The pull-out bed
The best-known solution is undoubtedly the drawer under the bed. When you are small, it contains a collection of Lego, often gigantic. When we are older, it accommodates our reading pillow or our other sets of clean bed linen instead.
2. Opt for a headboard with storage
This one can take several appearances. But one thing is certain, we escape the “just beautiful” to select a good design: aesthetic and functional at the same time. You will find where to find a headboard with storage in my dedicated article, because I couldn’t settle for a few lines. You will find what you are looking for to hide your cables, arrange your books and decorate your bed!
3. Choose nightstands that are as practical as they are pretty
It may sound simple, maybe even obvious. But it must be remembered: clever nightstands have their small effect in terms of storage. So choose them well!
4. Think vertical to optimize storage in the bedroom
When the room is too small, there is no need to add thousands of small pieces of furniture. It would only make the situation worse. So, if we cannot take up the floor space, we must optimize that on the walls and therefore, focus everything on verticality! The wardrobes are often placed at a height of 1.60 m, which leaves plenty of room for one or two shelves.
In addition to the clever headboard which contains a bookcase, we add a large shelf above to store books, and some frames as decoration.
5. Optimize storage with a basket shelf
In closets, piles of T-shirts rarely reach the top shelf. By sliding a hanging basket in it, you gain a little space to slip your tights, swimsuits or even belts. La Redoute also offers even smarter ones that also serve as a wardrobe. Moreover, we can even decide to put these additional storage at the top of another piece of furniture, in order to gain additional storage space.
6. An extra-flat walk-in closet to optimize storage
Just because your bedroom is cramped, doesn’t mean you won’t have plenty of storage space to organize your clothes. However, you have to be smart and combine the advice given above. It is indeed out of the question to opt for a small chest of drawers, which does not take advantage of the available height in your room. Or even to choose the large disproportionate country wardrobe, which would block all traffic.
If your room is narrow, opt for a very narrow but very high walk-in closet. You will not therefore benefit from a large wardrobe to hang your beautiful collection of tailors but a telescopic wardrobe can still accommodate your 3-4 most beautiful dresses.
7. Use the walls!
To optimize the storage of the room, I strongly advise you to use the walls. It is thanks to the fact that, with the help of beautiful shelves, you will be able to preserve and even highlight your trinkets and other decorative objects!
