Space Saving Bedroom Storage Ideas For A Clutter Free Boudoir

No matter how many times you have a clear out, you always seem to need more space in your bedroom.

Small bedrooms can be a nightmare, but even those who have a good sized one can struggle. If you can barely close your drawers, have clothes all over your bedroom floor or your wardrobe rail is creaking under the weight of a million unworn jumpers, this is the post for you.

We've put together some useful bedroom storage ideas to help you save space and enjoy a clutter free boudoir. Let's take a look...

Make use of dead space in your wardrobes

For the few of us who are tidy enough to organise their wardrobe properly, there's no problem finding what you're after. For most of the rest of us, opening those wardrobe doors is like unveiling an abyss of everything you're not looking for.

Whether your wardrobe is just small, or you've packed too much in it, extra space is nearly always welcome. The Corndell Nimbus wardrobe can be modified with shelf packs to create more storage. We can't promise a doorway to Narnia, but it'll certainly make use of some of that dead space, freeing up more rail for your hanging garments.

You can use the shelves for spare jumpers and jeans, leaving more space on the rail for thinner clothes like t-shirts and tops. 

You could also think about having a shoe rack in the bottom of the wardrobe, while a tie rack behind the door is an easy way to hang ties and belts without having to sacrifice precious rail space.

Stash things under the bed

Depending on your bed, you might be able to make use of the space underneath to clear some of your clutter.

Divan & drawer combination

If you have a divan bed, many come with the option to add storage within the base – either as a sliding door or a pull out drawer. This is a really useful way to store additional belongings. Whether it's spare clothes, shoes, handbags or even bedding, a bed drawer can be a godsend!

Ottoman opening beds

Ottoman beds offer the ultimate secret storage – the whole bed lifts up on a hinge allowing you to fill the bottom with a large amount of stuff... And access it easily when you need to.

Just make sure your other half isn't asleep in the bed when you lift it up!

Bedsteads and bed frames

A bedstead or frame usually leaves some empty space underneath it. Take advantage of this space by sliding some storage boxes underneath to keep your belongings out of the way.

Why not pack away warm clothes in the summer, and then swap them with your summer clothes when it's colder? That way you'll create extra space in your wardrobes. For even more space in your storage boxes, put your clothes in vacuum bags first.

Blanket boxes

To keep your wardrobes and drawers free of clutter, a blanket box is an ideal bedroom storage solution. Simply place it at the end of the bed, and stash away all your bulky items. As well as blankets, you can probably keep a spare duvet in there too!

An ottoman can be used in the same way – it'll usually be slightly smaller than a blanket box but can neatly store bed sheets, slippers or pyjamas.

TV beds

A TV that is stored inside your bed frame? It might seem like a bit of a luxury, but it's actually a great space saver too.

Think about it: When you're not using your television, it doesn't serve much purpose. In fact, all it does is collect dust. But if it could neatly pack away out of sight? That's one less thing to worry about keeping clean.

And even more beneficial – if your TV isn't taking up space on your bedroom furniture, you can use the extra room to store your belongings and avoid clutter.

Children's bedroom storage ideas

For someone so small, it's hard to believe how much space your child's belongings can take up! On top of their clothes, their bedroom is often the place where their toys and books are also kept.

With space at a premium, a good way to create more is by using a sleep station – it features a single bunk with space underneath for storage, a desk for studying, and a ladder for easy access at bed time.

If you have more than one child sharing a bedroom, classic bunk beds are also an option for making the most of the space available.

Shelves in children's bedrooms can become quite messy and untidy, so why not think about using some decorative storage boxes to keep things neat?

If a child's bedroom looks tidy, the drawers might tell a different story. Usually they're a forbidden zone where everything just gets thrown in out of the way. To keep drawers in some kind of tidy order, use drawer dividers to separate them into easy-to-manage sections.
