Since the pandemic, it has become the norm for our homes to also be our places of work. We’re all using our quiet spaces in our homes as our offices and our bedrooms are full to bursting with all aspects of daily life. When you live in a small home, you’ll want to maximise the space you have available so clever storage will be your friend. You won’t need to spend a fortune either so check out these top tips for maximising bedroom storage on a budget.
Utilise multi-use furniture
The best pieces of furniture are the ones that can provide storage as well as being practical. When you’re looking to maximise storage in your bedroom, ottoman beds are a brilliant choice. These types of beds provide ample storage space under the mattress for larger items such as linen, blankets, and seasonal clothing. Ottoman beds are a great choice as the base lifts easily with the help of a gas hydraulic system. This allows you to access the storage area underneath the bed without worrying about being able to lift the base. This is especially useful for older adults who may struggle with lifting on a regular basis.
When looking for bed storage in a children’s bedroom, a divan bed with drawers is a great option. Children can easily open the drawers and access their toys, books or clothing as well as knowing that all their favourite things have a place in their bedroom.
Soft toy storage
If you’re looking to keep all your children’s soft toys in one place, go up! Use the dead space in your children’s bedrooms above their heads. Use a hammock-shaped net positioned carefully in the corner of a bedroom and your children can throw up their soft toys into the net. This gets the soft toys off the floor and uses space that you ordinarily wouldn’t use. From experience, children will find it a novelty at first and the hammock will get emptied regularly. Give them the task of tidying up and they’ll soon stop emptying the net so frequently!
Add tension rods in wardrobes
If you need additional hanging storage space in your wardrobe, buy tension rods. These expandable tension rods utilise the space underneath your clothing. They’re easy to install and easy to use and really do help provide more accessible storage space for shirts, jumpers and trousers that otherwise would be stored elsewhere. These can be removed easily and used in other rooms as needed and can be easily stored away when not in use.
Use over-the-door storage
There are many over-the-door storage hacks you can use in your home. You can buy shoe storage panels which utilise the whole length of a door and stores many pairs of shoes. Buy a 5-in-1 hook set which allows you to hang dressing gowns, coats, hats and scarves on the back of the door. These can typically be found in all supermarkets and provide a hanging space for clothing that you need to access on a regular basis.
Introduce cube storage
Cube storage in a bedroom allows you to not only use the width of the space available but also the height. Cube storage is particularly useful in children’s bedrooms as it allows children to access their toys and if organised, will help to separate storage into themes or topics, for example, books, toys and games. There are lots of inner storage cubes available at various retailers which can help you box up the clutter in each cube, these are available in different colours and patterns to suit your bedroom style. There are also inner storage pieces to fit storage cubes. These include drawer units and cupboard doors so you can customise the look of your cube storage to get maximum storage potential.
How will you use these storage ideas in your home? All of the tips are inexpensive and provide storage as well as practicability options into your home. Make your storage work for you and your needs and don’t be afraid to try something different if your current storage isn’t working.
