Common Bedroom Storage Mistakes

Avoid these bedroom storage mistakes:

Mistake 1: Under-Utilizing Vertical Space

Mistake 2: Overstuffed Closets

Mistake 3: Neglecting Under-Bed Space

Mistake 1: Under-Utilizing Vertical Space

Many bedrooms ignore the potential of wall spaces, leaving them bare and unused. This results in wasted storage opportunities.
Install tall bookshelves to make use of the height of your walls.
Add floating shelves to store decor items or daily essentials while keeping the floor clear.
Utilize wall-mounted storage units for a sleek and functional look.

Mistake 2: Overstuffed Closets

Stuffing closets with too many items leads to disorganization and difficulty finding essentials.
Incorporate closet organizers like shelves, dividers, or hanging racks to maximize space.
Regularly declutter and remove items you no longer use.
Use baskets or bins to store smaller items neatly.

Mistake 3: Neglecting Under-Bed Space

The area under the bed is often left unused, missing valuable storage potential.
Opt for beds with built-in drawers or under-bed storage compartments.
Use storage boxes or bins designed to slide under the bed for seasonal items or less frequently used belongings.
Ensure the storage options are easy to access and convenient to maintain.
