Your bedroom needs to be the most relaxing room in your home. Even if space is not on your side, you can still get creative with the furniture setup and the organization of your belongings to turn your bedroom into a functional yet pleasing room. Here are some\u00a0storage ideas for your small bedroom:<\/p>\n

<\/span>1. Consider a Murphy bed<\/span><\/h2>\n

A space-saving solution<\/a> for smaller bedrooms, the Murphy bed<\/a> is a timeless classic. The original model might have been forsaken in favor of the modern one, as it provides a foldout bedframe that not only saves you space but also changes the daytime look in your bedroom. If you choose to keep it as is, treat the bed framework like a regular wall by painting it, draping it with textiles and decorating it with artwork.<\/p>\n

<\/span>2. Add a tiny library to your headboard<\/span><\/h2>\n

Why not take advantage of this space that naturally comes with your bed to use it for nifty storage? You can either use a custom-made headboard with shelves or make it a special project if you enjoy dabbling into DYI. A bookcase headboard can not only host books but also all kinds of knickknacks and it\u2019s a great wall storage idea.<\/p>\n

<\/span>3. Use bed raisers<\/span><\/h2>\n

Expand storage under the bed by elevating your mattress with bed risers and turning this space into a hidden storage area. You can place here winter clothes, additional bedding and other items you\u2019re not routinely using. However, you might discover that you still can\u2019t make room for all of your possessions here. Avoid cluttering your home by using self storage<\/a> to keep items until they\u2019re needed.<\/p>\n

<\/span>4. Make good use of the foot of the bed<\/span><\/h2>\n

Squeeze in a little extra storage space by adding a storage bench at the foot of the bed. It won\u2019t take up much space, and you\u2019ll be happy to have a furniture piece that pulls double duty: You have instantly created clothing storage for your small bedroom whether you need the next day or you need to put them away long-term.<\/p>\n

<\/span>5. Turn your dresser into a nightstand<\/span><\/h2>\n

To help you better organize a small bedroom, you can move your dresser next to your bed and you have instantly created a nightstand! It\u2019s a win-win design choice: You get a spot to keep all your essentials next to you before going to sleep, and you can stash out-of-season clothes and accessories you use less often.<\/p>\n

<\/span>6. Store more in your drawers<\/span><\/h2>\n

With a little creativity, you can organize and maximize storage space inside your dresser. Buy a honeycomb organizer for your smaller items. This way your socks will be easy to find, and each pair will have its own designated spot. If you enjoy a good DIY project, why not make your own organizer? With the help of cardboard strips from an upcycled box, slices of PVC pipe and small organizers, you can keep the contents of each drawer tidy and organized.<\/p>\n

<\/span>7. Explore up all the storage opportunities in the closet<\/span><\/h2>\n

If your closet comes with limited space, you can hang a rod and even add a shelf. If space allows, add a secondary rod for skirts or other short clothing items. To gain additional space, you can use a chain to link hangers together.<\/p>\n

<\/span>8. Use tennis balls to store shoes<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your closet doors are the perfect spot to create a new home for your shoes<\/a>. Attach tennis balls either to the wall \u2014 if you have the room \u2014 or to the closet door and use them to hang shoes. Due to their round shape and the fuzzy coating, your shoes are protected and can stay in shape. Did we mention this is a great space-saving storage solution?<\/p>\n

<\/span>9. Clothes and accessories can turn into d\u00e9cor<\/span><\/h2>\n

If your bedroom space is in short supply, but your belongings aren\u2019t, why not incorporate them into the room d\u00e9cor? Here are a few things you can do to gain extra storage:<\/p>\n
