Bedroom storage solutions

Bedroom storage solutions

Make your bedroom a sanctuary from everyday stresses by keeping it tidy. Here\'s our pick of the best space-saving items to help keep clutter under control!

Under the bed

Don\'t forget the dead space beneath the bed. Some beds are designed to incorporate drawers; alternatively, boxes can hold a surprising amount concealed beneath the overhang of a bedspread,\' says Kiran Singh, interior designer and stylist for KK Designs. The space-enhancing Olivia bed base (£879.85) from Feather & Black is a bestseller.

Wardrobe wonder

Do you find getting dressed in the morning a painful procedure? You\'ll feel less hassled if you can see everything you own. Keep your belts, scarves and ties in order with this Komplement multi-use hanger (£2.99) from Ikea. What a bargain!

Style on the side

Top of your list should be a bedside table, providing an individual surface for a reading light, book, alarm clock and a glass of water,\' advises Singh. When space is tight, use a shelf above the bed instead of a bedside table.

Lucinda Waterhouse, OKA Director recommends their popular Chinese trunks (from £162.22). \'Attractive storage boxes are invaluable in keeping your life in order.\'

Compact glamour

Keep at least one horizontal surface totally clear to relax the eye and feel less hassled. A dressing table like this pretty Valencia dressing table (£399) from Next is perfect for stowing away your lotions and potions.

Bits and bobs

Put aside and evening in front of the tv to sort out your bits and bobs. Do you want to keep everything? Store your favourite accessories in these handy drawer organisers (£9) from Littlewoods Direct.

Shoe tower

Got too many shoes? You\'re not alone. \'Where once a few hooks and a wooden chest would have sufficed in the bedroom, we now require endless drawers, tiers of shoe racks and metres of hanging rail,\' says Singh.

Put an end to stilettos and trainers clogging up floor space with this must-have Cedar shoe rack (£40) from The Holding Company. Organise shoes by colour and purpose. Think day, sport, evening, summer, winter.

Tucked away

Nobody does storage solutions better than The Holding Company. Their Split lid underbed box (£16.95) is genius. \'A good storage system is essential for hiding away all those bulky winter jumpers and blankets that all too often fill our bedrooms,\' says Suzanne Baker from The Holding Company.

She recommends storing clothes in the Vacusac (£26). ‘The air is removed by using the nozzle on a vacuum cleaner, within seconds you have a small vacuum sealed packet.\'

Box it up

Are your cupboards crammed to the max? A blanket box is a wise investment for those short of space. Hide unwanted clutter in this very pretty and popular Annalina blanket box (£299) from Next.
