Use Vertical Space In Your Closet View this post on Instagram
KEY TO FENG SHUI IN YOUR CLOSET Your closets represent your subconscious. They easily become a collection pits and then you become overwhelmed in other areas of your life. That’s why it is so important to organise your closets and edit them down. On the other hand, when you have diligently organised closet, it reveals fear of perfectionism or success. Make sure when you go through your closet, that you are really being honest and getting rid of things you haven’t warn in a while and those that no longer fits you. Apart from editing down, attach an emotion to each item, that you bringing out. Make it an undesirable attribute about yourself that you just don’t want anymore, fear or negativity or self-doubt. It’s so revealing how these closets do really represent our subconscious issues. We throw everything in there, we close the door and don’t want to deal with it! #fengshuitips #closetgoals #closet #organizedcloset #closetediting

You don’t need to hang everything. A closet that only contains a hanging rod doesn’t make good use of storage space. This closet is an excellent example of how to incorporate multiple storage options.

There’s a rod for hanging clothes along with shelving and cubbyholes to put items that don’t need to be hung.

Even a small bedroom benefits from the addition of furniture like this over-sized side table. It provides additional storage so you won’t need to stuff all your oft-needed things inside your dresser or closet. If your bedside table is too cramped, things are likely to fall off and find a home on your floor — which ultimately creates added clutter.
Turn Your Headboard Into Storage
The back of your bed (assuming it’s placed against the wall) is the ideal place to sneak in bedroom storage ideas. Try a DIY headboard with shelving or buy one ready made.

All that empty space under your bed is wasted. Make use of it by sliding in storage bins or bags. It’s a great place to store seasonal items that you only use part of the year.
Use A Bookshelf As A Headboard View this post on Instagram
The headboard is one of those features that, besides being practical and functional, can also serve as a decorative element for the bedroom. If functionality is what you’re looking for in a headboard, one that has built-in storage can turn out to be ideal. Bookshelf headboards are popular for their practical and space-efficient designs. But finding the perfect balance between useful storage and simplicity can be a real challenge. That’s where a DIY headboard gives you the ability to decide what you want to store/display and customise accordingly.

Books take up so much room, and avid readers know the struggle of trying to pare down. If they’re are scattered on your floor, or you’ve created a massive pile on the nightstand, consider adding bookshelves to the back of your bed.

When my husband and I moved into our home, we spent a few years grappling with a poorly designed closet. The awful doors didn’t allow us access to the whole space, and we were continually struggling to store our garments.

Sliding doors are essential if you want full access to closet space. Choose mirrored doors in a small room to make it appear larger, and you won’t have to install a mirror elsewhere.

You’ve probably seen this cart everywhere. It’s great for storing a host of things. In a bedroom, you might use it for shelving books, jewelry, or other items you don’t have a spot for elsewhere. Check out this article for three different ways to use this handy cart in your home.
Add A Corner Shelf
Corner space is often wasted in rooms, and if you’re low on storage space in a tiny bedroom, a corner shelf is a great way to display decor or store books. Shelves are great go-to bedroom storage ideas since there are so many different options to fit every kind of space.

Go up to the ceiling! In a small room, adding shelves close to the ceiling frees up floor space and helps make the room feel a bit bigger than it would with a traditional bookshelf.

An exposed storage unit like this one is perfect for those with a small, monochrome wardrobe. If your space lacks a closet, hanging clothes within view is an option — just be sure to keep the area tidy to prevent visual clutter.

No closet? No dresser? If you want to store your clothing on a rack but don’t love the idea of letting everything hang out, use curtains to hide your DIY closet area.
Store Shoes On A Rack Dương Nhân / Pexels
Don’t dump shoes at the bottom of your closet. Use a rack! Whether a beautiful wooden display rack to show off your shoe collection, or a standard metal model for inside your closet, keeping your shoes neatly organized prevents them from getting prematurely scuffed and worn.
Utilize Corners
If you don’t mind leaving your clothes exposed, this corner bar is a handy storage option for tight spaces. Have a closet and don’t need extra hanging space? Install the corner bar anyway and create a spot where you can prep your outfit for tomorrow.
Find it at Amazon Add A Storage Bench To The End Of Your Bed
End-of-bed benches are popular bedroom storage ideas and adornments. If you’re short on space, choose a bench to store clothing and memorabilia as needed. A storage bench is a dual-purpose furniture piece that also serves to glam up your sleeping space.

Not keen on adding shelving that will cannibalize floor space? Build into the wall instead. Of course, this won’t work in every bedroom, but it’s a clever way to add storage without sacrificing floor space.

Find it at Amazon Install A Loft Bed View this post on Instagram
Functionality is a key part in how I incorporate mindfulness into my life at home & has been especially necessary for me to maintain a sense of calm while living in a small Brooklyn apartment. The width of my bedroom is shorter than I am & just a few inches wider than a queen-size bed. When I first moved in, this space fit an unlofted bed & a dresser. I took advantage of the height of the ceilings and have doubled the space where the bed once sat low to the floor by lofting the bed. Now I get to have a distinct sleeping space above & a working space/desk + a lounge space below (where I actually sleep 70% of the time after falling asleep to a David Attenborough documentary or an episode of "I Love Lucy"). The additional space has added so much functionality in my life which has invited in so much more peace & serenity.

It’s tough to store everything you own in a tiny bedroom. A loft bed frees up floor space and provides extra room for a desk or bookshelves.
