Storage Solutions for the Bedroom

Bedrooms are where we escape to for sleeping and relaxing, but sometimes, they can become storage rooms when we dont know where to put things. Clothes pile up on furniture and it becomes difficult to find what we are looking for.

Here are some creative ideas to make the most of the space you have.

Closets:

Maximize closet space by installing a closet organizing system. A custom designed closet can add so much storage space, but can be expensive. Less costly options are available at many department stores, such as Target. Mix and Match closet storage units are sold separately and reasonably priced. Take stock of what you need to store and decide which pieces you will need to purchase.

Use clear storage boxes to store childrens clothing according to size and age. Store it in the closet for future use or to prepare to donate or sell. They can easily be stacked and keep the clothing dust free and protected. In these boxes, they can even be stored in the basement if closet space is limited and they wont be ruined by dampness.

Use a hamper in the closet to collect clothing as children grow out of it, when its full, pack it up into a storage box.

Under the Bed:

Another option, flat plastic storage boxes made especially for under the bed are perfect for seasonal clothing when not in use or other things you dont need often, but cant bring yourself to toss. Vacuum-packed storage bags are also easily stored under a bed.

Hanging:

Hang hooks in the closet for robes and pjs for quick and easy access. A wall mounted tie rack makes grabbing a tie in the morning a breeze. Hang your purses as well. Use a hanging show rack on the back of the closet door for shoes, or slippers or other items, belts, socks, anything small you dont have to have to search for.

Shelves:

Keep clutter to a minimum by hanging whatever you can, including shelves. Wall mounted shelves for accessories keep clutter off your dressers.

Take a day to organize your bedroom storage and youll create a more serene space. Everything will be easily accessible and more apt to stay organized.
