Unless you live in a mansion you probably don’t have enough storage space, especially in your bedroom. It seems there are always too many pairs of shoes, a never-ending supply of clothing and dresser drawers stuffed to capacity yet there’s still nothing to wear, mainly because you just can’t find it. It’s time to get serious about organizing and making the most of every square inch in your bedroom.
One great way to begin is to create space where once there was none – bed risers are the real-life equivalent of sky hooks – they elevate the bed to create extra storage space. Begin by creating extra space with bed risers and then look for storage boxes which will tuck under the bed into this new space. Store seasonal bedding and blankets, winter coats, sporting equipment, holiday decorations or your wedding dress – the possibilities are endless.
Hampers are another handy idea for any bedroom. There are pop-up hampers which fold flat for storage along with teak, wicker, bamboo and plastic hampers and they are not just for soiled clothing. You can store spare bedding, off-season clothing, stuffed animals, toys and games, sporting goods and more in a hamper. Some hampers also serve as seating while others are specifically designed for laundry and have removable liner bags so you can tote soiled goods easily. Remember, a hamper is the best way to intercept dirty clothes before they hit the floor.
