Bedroom Storage

Bedroom storage to make the most of your space

Bedroom storage works best when it solves the daily-clutter problem rather than just filling a wall. Bedside drawers handle books and chargers; a tallboy or chest absorbs out-of-season folded clothes; an ottoman at the foot of the bed hides bulky bedding.

For a fuller wardrobe overflow, look at our 7-drawer chests or 6-drawer chests to give you more drawer space and organisation options.

Bedroom storage furniture options

A mix of drawer-based and shelf-based storage gives the most usable space. Open shelves are great for shoes, baskets and bedside decor; closed cabinets keep dust and visual clutter down.

Wall-mounted options free up floor area in tight rooms. Explore our wood wall shelving for low-profile add-ons.

Bedroom storage solutions for shared spaces

Couples sharing a bedroom usually do better with two narrower chests than one wide one, so each person owns their own drawers. Add a sideboard along an unused wall for extras like linen or off-season clothing.

Our wood sideboards and buffets double as bedroom storage in larger rooms. For a home-office-bedroom combo, slot in a white filing cabinet that blends with the rest of the furniture.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best bedroom storage for small rooms?

Vertical storage like tallboys and wall-mounted shelves are effective in smaller rooms. An under-bed storage drawer also captures otherwise-dead space.

How do I organise a chest of drawers?

Keep daily items in the top drawers and seasonal or rarely-worn items lower. Drawer dividers help with smaller items like socks and underwear.

Are drawer chests deep enough for jumpers?

Standard chest drawers are around 35 to 45 centimetres deep, which fits folded jumpers easily. Tall, narrow tallboys often have shallower drawers better suited to smaller items.

How do I stop drawers from sticking?

Rub a candle or paraffin wax along the runners and the underside of the drawer. Avoid overloading drawers, which is the most common cause of sticking.

What other bedroom storage can I add without floor space?

Under-bed boxes, over-door hooks, wall-mounted shelves and bedside drawers all add storage without taking up floor area.
