Use multi-function furniture.
With no room for both a display table and nightstand, this small bedroom made use of a narrow console with two shelves, incorporating storage of beloved decorative items and daily-use essentials.
Pay attention to surfaces.
Many small bedrooms—particularly kids’ spaces—do double-duty as work or homework spots, too. That means they can quickly accumulate extra supplies and knickknacks that overtake surface spaces. Luckily, simple solutions can help keep clutter at bay. Divide different types of items (erasers and paper clips, for example) into separate smaller dishes, and keep them all together using one larger tray with sides. It’s a good solution for jewelry, makeup or other grooming supplies, too.
Utilize wasted spaces.
Niches are sometimes considered too narrow to be useful. But those tight spots and overhead spaces are great for storage of lesser-used items and for displaying favorite treasures. To avoid bedside surface clutter, consider mounting a swing-arm lamp.
