Bedroom and Storage Systems: 6 Ideas, 40 Examples

We present 40 options - from the simplest to very clever solutions.

1. Serious and Long-term

Perhaps the most popular way to store things in the bedroom is a built-in closet or dressing room. This solution has many advantages: items are always within reach, there's no need to clutter the apartment with extra furniture, and storage space in the closet can hide clothing, bedding accessories, and household items like an ironing board. When planning a dressing room, make sure it has an optimal number of drawers and hangers. With proper organization, such a storage area in the bedroom may eliminate the need for other wardrobes in the apartment.

2. Lower Shelf

A drawer for bedding inside the bed is a good example of making full use of bedroom space. Today, manufacturers produce models with built-in, often sliding drawers that occupy space within the bed frame. This simple and very functional design solution will especially appeal to owners of small apartments: it allows easy savings in square meters and avoids cluttering the room with bulky wardrobes and dressers.

3. Traditional Approach

Dressers, wardrobes and sideboards are not only important style-defining elements in the bedroom but also storage areas. Large or decorative, designed in minimalism or art-deco style, they not only conceal unnecessary items from outsiders but also help bring the interior design into a unified stylistic denominator.

4. Nothing to Hide

Interior trends in recent years lean towards openness. Scandinavian minimalism prescribes abandoning design elements that can easily be done without, and this includes décor. Open clothing racks have long moved from stores into small apartments. There are pros and cons to keeping clothes visible. On one hand, open racks somewhat dilute the perception of privacy. On the other hand, they take up significantly less space than wardrobes, and a suitable outfit can be chosen by simply scanning the rack with one glance.

5. Simple Solution

The simplest way to store things in the bedroom is cardboard organizers, woven baskets and chests. This approach works for any budget: buying boxes won't break the bank, but a forged chest, especially one from an antique lounge, will cost a significant amount.

6. Transform Surfaces

Any horizontal surface in the bedroom can be easily adapted for storage - from the headboard of the bed and mounted shelves to the windowsill. In this way, a bedroom can accommodate a bookshelf, a desk, and a presentation area for awards or commemorative souvenirs.
