Reclaim your bedroom sanctuary with these smart storage buys.
Whether you're looking to organise a piles of books, pack away seasonal clothing, or manage the accumulation of debris on your desk, these bedroom storage ideas prove that you can create a calming and tidy bedroom sanctuary by creating space in the most unlikely of places.
We are still very truly not over Marie Kondo, the woman who taught us to rid our homes of anything that doesn't spark joy. But if you do have a lot that sparks, or at the very least simmers with joy, keeping clutter to a minimum can be a struggle.
From a hidden storage pouch under your bed, to full-height modular clothing rails and clever shoe storage hacks, get inspiration from these practical and stylish bedroom storage solutions, ideal for small bedrooms, or even large bedrooms that need a thorough tidying up.
Your bed has the largest footprint in your bedroom, and so it makes sense to maximise its storage capacity. This House Beautiful Jay Ottoman at Dreams lifts up to reveal ample space for you to hide away spare bed linen, pillows and more.
To optimise space in a small bedroom, hidden storage is key. Not an inch is wasted in this boucle pouffe that multitasks as a footstool or a perch for magazines, with a lid that lifts up to reveal handy storage space to hold clutter.
If you have a small bedroom with awkward alcoves and narrow recesses, a slim locker like this sage green design makes for a great storage solution. At 183cm it makes the most of vertical space, and has a removable hanging rail, four adjustable shelves, two hooks and a cable hole on the inside for super efficient organisation.
Don't just think about investing in storage solutions, consider maximising existing storage too. This clever shoe holder stacks pairs on top of one another to maximise space. It's a great investment for anyone with an impressive collection of shoes.
Fitted wardrobes are a must in small spaces, especially if they are configurable, like the House Beautiful Realm Fitted Wardrobe at Homebase. These space-savers can wrap around corners, provide floor-to-ceiling storage and accommodate the most awkward configurations in a small bedroom.
Make use of every corner of your bedroom. This clever white and brass table from Wayfair can become a small desk or vanity, and fits neatly into an unused corner.
Bedroom storage is not just about functionality. You can add statement pieces – like this upholstered velvet House Beautiful blanket box – that double up as storage. It's particularly useful in spaces that are usually unused, like the end of your bed, to store bedlinen, towels, or as added clothing storage.
Those short on storage space in the bedroom should think vertically. An average freestanding wardrobe should match the lintel level of doors, which is around 84 inches. Clothing rails and modular storage that make use of the full height of the room – with high-set shelving and a double row of railing like this IKEA model – optimise every inch of space available in the bedroom.
Some furniture can serve dual purpose as storage and decoration. This Oliver Bonas mango wood chest of drawers, with hand-painted floral motifs, provides ample drawer space and acts as a decorative touch.
This woven jute basket from La Redoute is one of those great bedroom storage options that lets you tidy away clutter without thought or effort. Throw in magazines, hide your charging cables or use it as a chic laundry basket.
More hidden storage hacks here with this arched mirrored wall cabinet from Rockett St George that conceals four handy shelves perfect for cosmetics or jewellery.
This sleek solid wood bed sits low to the floor to open up a bit of visual space in the room and includes flexible under bed storage and a neat clip-on shelf to act as a space-saving bedside table.
If you've got the space for an armchair in your bedroom, choose a design like this velvet snuggler which combines comfort and storage. Its upholstered frame has a brilliant, built-in, space-saving feature – simply lift up the seat to reveal the perfect storage spot for books, magazines or bed linen.
Any piece of furniture that is multifunctional creates extra space by design. This clothing rail from B&Q has a pared-back framework that keeps it light and airy, whilst allowing you to organise your clothes and shoes. The integrated full-length mirror frees up valuable floor space for...more storage.
Another bedroom storage solution that considers vertical space, this Swoon tallboy provides five deep drawers without much of a footprint. The slim top drawer has an internal organiser to tidy jewellery or underwear, and as a bonus, it is topped with a brass mirror to save wall space elsewhere.
Storage bags are the simplest and most cost-effective of all bedroom storage ideas, perfect for bedding, towels, or seasonal clothing. This bestselling John Lewis under bed storage bags have the added benefit of being vacuum packed to hold the equivalent of two double duvets and two pillows.
In a small bedroom, side tables aren't the most efficient choice next to your bed. Bedside tables should be stylish and functional, like this House Beautiful Grove bedside table, which has a deep internal draw as well as open storage space, and a charging feature for your phone or laptop to keep other wall points free.
This PLATSA bed by IKEA is a super hard worker, accommodating sleep and storage needs in one, with a total of five drawers, five cupboards, under bed storage and display shelving. To make the most of this bed, place it in the middle of a bedroom rather than against a wall.
Simple to install and available in a range of sizes and finishes, this white radiator shelf proves that there is storage capacity in the most unlikely of places. It also helps to deflect the heat back into the bedroom rather than escaping up the wall, and helps reduce heat staining above the radiator.
If you like your bedroom to be full of trinkets and treasured objects, contain them within a tray. This will create a busy corner that draws the eye without having to add extra side tables or shelving to accommodate everything you want to display.
