While you can find plenty of articles on organizing your home office, kitchen, and pantry areas, you probably won’t find a lot of information on organizing your bedroom.
Your bedroom isn’t meant to be just a quiet resting place, it often has to serve another purpose: as storage space for your clothes, accessories, shoes, bedding, and more. Figuring out how to store all those belongings and at the same time maintain a stylish and calm environment can be quite a challenge.
Let’s start with the bed. It takes up a lot of space in the room, so why not make it as functional as it is comfortable? Storage beds provide the ideal solution for adding more space to store your belongings while providing a cozy place to sleep. You can choose to buy a bed that includes pull-out drawers or an ottoman bed that actually lifts up from the base to reveal metal storage boxes in the frame.
But what about the rest of the bedroom? If you have a lot of jewelry, you may want to repurpose old window screens by painting the frame a bright color and using it to hang your earrings and necklaces on small S-hooks attached to the screen. Wall-hung kitchen drawer utensil organizers and hidden ice cube trays in a dresser drawer are also great ways to store your jewelry.
A toilet tension rod could present the perfect way to add extra space for hanging clothes. A refinished wood or ceramic planter placed on the table next to those storage beds can hold magazines, lotions, or other items you want to keep close at hand.
When it comes to storing those items in the drawers or boxes on beds with storage, use sturdy cloth bags and place description labels on the handles to indicate which items are stored in each. That takes organizing to a whole new level!
If you have decided to order the space in your house this year, start with the bedroom and opt for beds with storage to gain as much space as possible.
