Looking for small bedroom storage ideas? Look no further! We know it's easy when faced with a small bedroom to struggle with keeping your stuff neat, tidy and out of sight. When space is a premium, you want solutions that don't make the space feel more cramped!

We've gone through our products and selected the very best small bedroom storage pieces, and found some great customer imagery to help inspire you! Plus, some tips and advice on making the most of your available space. Small doesn't have to mean you compromise on style, tranquillity or comfort.

Small Bedroom Storage - Use The Underbed Space!

In most bedrooms, and especially in smaller rooms, the bed tends to be the largest piece of furniture taking up the most floor space. If you can use that same floorspace area for storage, you're already maximising available space. Ottoman beds and beds with drawers that slide underneath are a perfect way to keep things tidied away and out of sight entirely. You can use your under-bed space for clothing, toys, shoes, linens or even books.

Lucky for you, we happen to sell some amazing ottoman beds and beds with drawers!

Our ottomans are all easy to use on smooth-glide gas-powered hydraulic lifts. Bottom-lifting ottomans are standard, but the side-lifting Elisa is great if you need to push the bed right up into a corner. An alternative to an ottoman is to opt for a bed with enough space underneath to slide in drawers. Our Azure beds come with the option to purchase 2 or 4 drawers on wheels.

Bedroom Storage Ideas - Bedside Tables

After under-bed space, the next obvious option is to use any space on either side of the bed for bedside tables or nightstands. Taking up relatively little floor space but offering flat top surface and potentially drawers, these are a great easy storage solution. We sell a big range of bedside tables to suit all homes and styles.

Mirrored Bedside Tables

A great way to bounce natural light around small bedrooms is by using mirrored surfaces for your storage!

Small Bedroom Storage - Use Chests of Drawers

If you're able to forgo a wardrobe, using only chests of drawers can stop a small bedroom from feeling too cluttered. Keeping space above the bed clear and open helps create a sense of additional height in the room.

Chests of Drawers as Bedside Tables

Now here's a cool idea! Maximise drawer space while still having some flat surface space beside the bed for your lamp, alarm clock and book.

Here are some other great examples of using our chests of drawers to provide a way to keep your clothes or other belongings out of sight.
