Try Under-the-Bed Shelves

Instead of haphazardly shoving random items beneath your bed, make the most of your floor space by using under-the-bed storage. This would be a great spot to stow extra bed linens, exercise gear, or even handbags.

Get Creative With Your Furniture

Who says your bed needs to sit against a wall? Turn your tallest bookshelves into a modern, eclectic headboard, and you'll have easy access to your favorite bedtime reads.

Turn Clutter Into Decor

Old magazines, random houseplants, extra large frames — if items are littering your floor, try arranging them in an artful way to make the clutter seem purposeful. Stack your books, add trays, and suddenly a messy corner becomes a trendy tableau.

Opt For Hidden Storage

Opt For Hidden Storage

Side tables tend to have small, slim drawers — hardly enough room to store all your essentials. A better, unexpected pick? Something like this wicker trunk, which has plenty of space for nighttime necessities and even extra blankets.

Store Up, Not Out

Store Up, Not Out

Invest in tall furniture like this sleek armoire to save space. Nix the wide, wall-to-wall dresser in favor of vertical storage so that you have plenty of extra room for additional furniture.

07
Divide Your Drawers

Divide Your Drawers

Don't toss your jewelry into a random junk drawer. Try a classic drawer divider, or get creative by using vintage teacups. Even better? An adorable arrangement will inspire you to maintain the organized space.

08

Get Crafty With Odd Dimensions

Walls at unusual angles, strangely-shaped corners — make the most of odd room dimensions by choosing furniture that fits. Think of your bedroom as a puzzle and do your best to arrange items in a smart, easy-to-access way.

09
Display Your Favorites

Display Your Favorites

If you're short on storage, try displaying some of your favorite items instead. Whether you're dealing with gorgeous clothing or unique travel souvenirs, use your imagination to fashion art out of your most treasured possessions.

Make Smart Furniture Decisions

Skip the standard table, and choose one with extra shelves instead. It's important to take advantage of any possible storage space, so learn to get crafty. Try to view your room with fresh eyes, then ask yourself: "Where can I add more surface area?"

Double Up Whenever Possible

Double Up Whenever Possible

If you have room for an extra dresser or bookcase, use it! Even if you're not quite sure what you'll store in the second piece of furniture, you should still take advantage of the space. Chances are there will be something you'd like to stow away.
