Clear the Decks With a Good Tidy Up
Before investing in new bedroom storage, it’s important to get rid of unwanted items once and for all, so you only store what you use. We all know how satisfying it feels to have a good clear out and declutter, and there’s no better time than when you’re reorganising your wardrobe. Not only can decluttering free-up space and make your bedroom feel calmer, it can also improve your sense of well-being by finally targeting those troublesome clutter spots that get you down.
Put aside an evening or a weekend to reassess your wardrobe and drawers, and earmark unwanted items for charity, selling online or swap shop events. Taking back control of your bedroom space, and generally putting your house in order, will make your daily routine easier.
Maximise space with clever additions. As well as maximising storage space by folding items into pristine piles, you can also increase the storage capacity and efficiency of your wardrobe and drawers by adding clear plastic boxes to store clothing, shoes or other accessories. Dedicate separate boxes to similar items, such as T-shirts, underwear, or jeans, and you’ll create a heavenly storage system that you can view in an instant.

Take Stock of What Storage You Need
Having a clear out will help you take stock of the belongings you’re keeping, so you can configure your storage to your exact needs. For example, consider how much hanging space you’ll need, if any, and how much shelving or drawer storage you’ll require, and decide whether this will need to be deep or shallow depending on the storage boxes you’ll be utilising.
Think about the ambience you’d like to achieve in your sleep space and whether you’d like items on display for interest, or you’d prefer to hide everything away for a minimal vibe. These decisions will help determine what type of storage to go for.
Consider your items as decorating tools. Clothes organised in colour blocks, either on shelves or racks, can create a visual impact in a room that has no focal point or decoration – a common bugbear of rental properties.

Think Outside the Box…
Fitted wardrobes look impressive and solve a myriad of storage woes, however they aren’t the only answer, particularly if you’re looking for storage that you can take with you when you move. Versatile bedside tables can double up as useful storage for everyday essentials that can be grabbed on your way out the door, while designs with pullout shelves will make quick access even easier.
Easy-to-install floating shelves are also a cost-effective way of storing your items, while at the same time creating an impactful fashion boutique display of your favourite accessories, shoes and neatly folded clothing.
Create a dynamic display.
An open cube storage unit is your secret weapon to creating a unique and quirky focal point. Alternate books and ornaments amongst your clothes and shoes storage and enjoy a confident display that will travel with you wherever you move.

… and Think Inside the Box
Do you have a built-in cupboard that’s become one big dumping ground? Then pimp this valuable space with functional solutions, such as an accessible freestanding hanging unit, open shoe racks and lightweight boxes that make the most of the unreachable spots.
Don’t forget to utilise the back of the cupboard door too, by adding open-front baskets on a secure rail system. These baskets take a loading weight of 25kg, making them ideal for small accessories that have a habit of going walkabout.
Make the most of unseen spots. Under-bed pullout storage or boxes on top of wardrobes can be used for storing seasonal clothing, extra bedding and bulky sportswear, keeping it out of the way and out of sight.

Avoid the ‘Floordrobe’
Opting for a freestanding wardrobe system gives you the ultimate in flexibility. For example, you can start with storage for your basic needs and then add to the freestanding furniture as or when you require more drawers, hanging or shelving space.
Create your own bespoke walk-in-robe area by starting with a functional corner unit that features open shelving and a large surface for a makeup station. Then add to it either side with drawers, hanging racks and mirrored wardrobes.

Keep adding innovative solutions. Where space is tight but storage solutions are still needed, install a wall shelf and attach a rail underneath to hang light items, such as scarves, singlets, belts and bags.
