Your bedroom can be one of the most difficult places to organize. You might have a variety of things to store, from clothes to books and bedding. Having a diverse range of possessions to put away neatly can make it harder to find the right solutions. Not only that, but you might get things out often and be lax about putting them away again. There are many messy bedrooms all around the world because of these issues. Fortunately, there are also plenty of storage options you can use to get everything under control. If you’re looking for ways to get your bedroom storage sorted once and for all, use the methods below.
Use All Available Space
Some people are lucky enough to have large, sprawling bedrooms. However, many have to make do with less space. When you only have a small room, it can be hard to get enough storage. The best thing to do in this case is to make sure you use all the space you have available. Rather than using every single bit of floor space, look at other ways you can use unused space in the room. For example, you might have space under your bed where you can store boxes or sliding drawers. You can also use vertical space, making use of the walls and ceiling.
Add Organizing Tools to Your Dresser and Closet
A dresser and closet are two of the most ubiquitous types of storage to have in a bedroom. While there’s nothing ingenious about them, you can be clever in the way that you use them. One of the things you can do involves using organizing tools to help separate your things. For example, you can put dividers inside your dresser drawers. This will help you keep different things separate. You can put your socks and underwear in the same drawer without them getting mixed up. You can also use boxes or hang organizing pockets in your closet. Putting out of season clothes in vacuum bags can help too. There are so many ideas which you could benefit from.

Get Multi-functional Furniture
Storage solutions can sometimes take up a lot of room, and so can other pieces of furniture. You can solve this problem by combining your storage with other furniture. For example, you can buy a bed with storage underneath it or even in the headboard. If you want to add a chair or sofa to your room, choose one that has space for storage inside or underneath it.
Consider Built-in Wardrobes or Walk-in Closets
Another option to consider is trying to maximize the amount of closet space you have. In a small room, using an entire room for a large, shallow wardrobe could be a good idea. You can build it in and cover the whole wall to give you as much space as possible. Or what if you have some extra space either in the bedroom or a room next to it? You could put a door between your bedroom and the box room next door to turn it into a walk-in closet.
