5 Tips for Adding Storage to Your Bedroom
Megan DeslongchampsLet's face it, it's so satisfying to live in a well-organized room! Unfortunately, it's also so easy to lose control over storage, especially in the bedroom. Clothes and accessories end up spilling out of the closet, creating a real mess! Reorganize your space without cluttering it up with these 5 tips for adding storage to your bedroom.
1. Use the space under the bed
Clear the floor by optimizing the space under the bed. This is the best place to store your belongings, such as out-of-season clothes or shoes, since it's easy to access. Your extra storage will be within easy reach without spoiling your decor.
Depending on the configuration of your bedroom, you have several options to put this tip to use. Choose a mates bed with 3 side drawers, a complete bed set with front drawer, or a bed with open storage compartments, allowing you to add storage baskets. All these solutions have one objective: to give you even more storage space in your bedroom!
2. Choose a headboard with built-in storage
A headboard is not only decorative, it can also be a great source of storage if you choose it well! Suitable for children and adults alike, a bookcase headboard optimizes otherwise wasted space. It lets you showcase your books, knick-knacks and everyday objects. Never look for your cellphone ever again when you wake up!
Whether for a single, double or king-size bed, South Shore Furniture offers a wide range of headboards in different finishes and styles to suit every taste.
3. Declutter
Visualize your ideal bedroom. What does it look like? Sleek? Colorful? Trendy? Once you've got an idea in your mind, get rid of all the furniture and clothes that don't fit your vision. Sometimes you need to start from scratch to see things more clearly.
Give away your outgrown clothes, keep only your favorite pieces and declutter the space of all superfluous objects. This simple step will already clear up a lot of clutter in your bedroom. You'll then be in a better position to select furniture that really meets your needs.
Consider following the principles of minimalism
Don't forget that minimalism has been on a roll in recent years. This lifestyle puts forward simplicity and quality of material possessions over than their quantity. Embrace this forward-thinking philosophy to create a soothing environment in your bedroom. After all, it's supposed to be the most relaxing room in the house!
