Use Ethan Allen Furniture to Increase Bedroom Storage

Every room needs storage, and some rooms are better equipped for this than others. Kitchens can have abundant shelving, a pantry, an island, and cabinets. Bathrooms have medicine cabinets, vanities, and linen closets. On the other hand, bedrooms generally don’t offer much in the way of storage capacity. A cluttered bedroom can contribute to stress and less restful sleep. Adequate storage is the answer to clutter catastrophes, and we have some savvy storage tips to share with you to help turn your bedroom into an organized oasis.

Using a small dresser as a nightstand not only increases bedside storage but it also cuts down on the overall pieces of furniture you need in your bedroom. Nesting tables are another excellent nightstand option. You can pull out extra storage when you need it and slide it away when you've finished using it. Luggage racks are an unexpected item outside of a hotel room but are useful for holding items and then tucking neatly away when not in use.

Adding a bench at the bottom of your bed is a classic decor move and is a practical way to add storage. You can set things on top of the bench and store smaller items, such as slippers, underneath. You can also use your bed itself to stow things away. Choose a bed frame with pull-out shelves or drawers to maximize your available space. Speaking of drawers, making furnishing that features drawers a priority in your bedroom is a sure way to make more of your storage space.

Don’t forget to utilize the vertical real estate in your room. Use mounted lights instead of tabletop lamps and install shelving in an unused nook. You can also hang accessories, such as hats or designer bags, on vintage hooks to create storage that doubles as eclectic wall art. Peg boards are another fun idea to create space, and you can rearrange the pegs to accommodate different items as needed.

You want to keep the sizes of all furniture proportionate. More storage is nice, but your entire room will look off-kilter if your dresser or nightstand is significantly taller than your bed. Tucking a small desk into a corner not only doubles your bedroom as a workspace, but also adds to your storage capacity.

Lastly, use all your available options. Your nightstands don’t have to match, especially if it would be more efficient for the space to have non-coordinating stands. Large, woven baskets add natural beauty, texture and additional storage space. Plan out what you need to store, then purchase storage items accordingly.
