When it comes to storage in your bedroom, it is important that you have a diverse arrangements that can meet your many needs. You will need to have closet and dresser storage for your clothes, shelving storage for other belongings and under-the-bed storage for those tough-to-store larger items. Here are some tips to help you maximize your bedroom storage.
Closet Space
It is important to any bedroom that you have ample and clean closet storage space. Closet storage will help to ensure that the livable portion of your room stays free from debris and other clutter. It will also be nice to enter your closet and have all of your clothing and accessory items neatly packed away.
Your closet storage options will depend largely on the amount of space that you have allocated to storage. Some people have very small closets while others have huge walk-in closets. In any event, the key to maximizing your closet space is to think in layers. It is never a good idea to have only one level of closet space. Even if your closet is very small, you can have two hanging levels and a shelf. Think about a floor shoe rack and storage on the door as well.
Larger closets generally have enough space for extensive shelving units, such as hanging racks, drawers, accessory shelves and floor shoes racks. Make sure that you investigate all options and have accurate measurements before investing in a closet storage system.
Under-the-Bed
Storing items under the bed ensures that you maximize the space in your bedroom while also keeping things out of sight and tidy. You can purchase a roll-away plastic storage bin at your local discount store or you can simply neatly tuck items under your bed. The biggest thing to keep in mind when storing items under the bed is that you will still need to have access to them. You will also need to be able to frequently get under the bed with a vacuum or broom, so make sure that your items are not packed too tightly.
Dressers
Dressers are popular storage items for things such as clothes, accessories, gadgets and underwear. There are many types and sizes of dressers such as units with large drawers, small drawers and convertible drawers. Make sure that you look around for options that work best for you, as they come in many sizes and forms.
Shelves
Many people enjoy adding shelves to the mix for some added space in their rooms. Shelving units can tend to be clutter-filled, so make sure that the shelves in your room stay neat and tidy.
There are two basic kinds of bedroom shelves: the stand-alone and the wall mounted. Stand aloe shelves are generally easy to assemble, but they can fall over easily and sometimes do not fit with the layout of the room.
Wall mounted shelves are attached directly to the wall and can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. With wall-mounted shelves, you can even purchase individual shelves for items such as trinkets. Visit your local home improvement store to investigate options that would be suitable for your room.
