Free space is not only a luxury in your bedroom, in today’s world it’s a necessity. With rooms and houses seemingly shrinking by the minute, storage can become a large problem for those of us who live in a metropolitan area and even those of us that don’t.
When you’ve exhausted all your other storage avenues, from wardrobes to side tables and everything in between, it can start to feel like all hope is lost. Sound familiar? Don’t worry, we’ll help you come up with the perfect place for those old yearbooks you can’t quite commit to tossing away.
Thankfully, there’s always a solution if you’re willing to think outside the box. Here, we’ll run through some of our favorite bedroom storage ideas to help maximize the usefulness of your space.
First Thing’s First: Your Bed Frame
While some may suggest starting by adding more space-conscious furniture to your bedroom, we disagree. Arguably, your very first port of call should be your existing furniture; specifically, how can you change it to be a better fit?
Starting with your bed frame, if your existing bed doesn’t offer much storage in the shape of drawers or compartments, it’s probably time for a change.
Anyways, we digress. What you need in this situation is a bed with drawers. Or maybe even a platform bed with storage underneath. So, in the meantime, let’s show you the storage options that we here at Get Laid Beds have to offer. We’re confident we’ve got the solution to your war on space.
Platform Beds – the Provider of Space
Let’s first start with our platform beds. These beds are above the ground allowing you to store things below the bed, remain elevated, and appear taller. Even though they won’t make you seem giant-like, they will supply you with a giant amount of underneath storage to tuck away just about anything.
With a wide variety of sizes, colors, and models, we’re confident you’ll find what it is you’re looking for. Take these platform beds as the perfect solution to storing those cumbersome suitcases, backpacks, and anything else that may slide right beneath your mattress.
Save Even Further Space with a Space Saving Style
So, you like platform beds, but you’re looking for something to help you save even further space? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. With our Space Saving model, we have the platform bed you’re looking for with the drawers of a dresser, great for quickly accessible clothing, extra bedding, or anything else you may need to grab straight from the comfort of your bed.
Under- bed storage is the perfect solution to a bedroom that may be a bit smaller than your collection of belongings.
All our platform beds and platform beds with under bed storage come in a wide range of sizes; from twin beds to Ccalifornia kings. A twin bed with drawers will allow you to turn your tiny bedroom in your metropolitan flat into a Marie Kondo dream, filled with space for everything that brings you joy.
And while a king size bed with storage may be a rarity for certain companies, Get Laid Beds has a little bit of everything while still offering a bed that can last generations.
2. Full-Width Underbed Storage Solutions
With so many bed sizing choices, our underbed storage boxes have to follow suit, right? This is why we offer multiple sizing choices to make sure you can get exactly what you need.
½ Storage Box
While it may be our smallest sized storage box, be rest assured there’s still plenty of space to store those loose possessions.
¾ Storage Box
Taking up roughly three quarters of the bed length, this size of storage box leaves plenty of room for those with a side table who still wish to be able to pull their storage boxes out.
Using the same sturdy design as our bed frames, the ¾ box provides plenty of strength for spare bedding (or perhaps just that rather large sneaker collection).
Full Storage Box
For those looking for the ultimate space-saving solution. Filling pretty much all of the bed (lengthways), it’s perfect for those with just way too much in their room.
3. Drawer Organizers
If you have a bedside table or chest of drawers that’s overflowing – don’t worry, we’ve all been there. Constantly shoving socks in and hoping for the best - it’s a tough situation to deal with. What if there was a way of organising all that chaos? Thankfully, there is.
Drawer dividers and organizers are the perfect solution to cluttered drawers. They come in a bunch of different sizes, but if you’re savvy enough, you can even DIY your own with some cardboard or offcuts of wood. They simply get placed into the drawer and can split up your belongings into their own compartments.
Sure, you lose some space by using a divider. But, your gains will more than make up for the small amount of lost room.
The trusty bedside table is a common sight in modern bedrooms. They can be used to store your immediate night-time essentials or serve as a platform to hold your phone as it charges overnight. Regardless, a bedside table is another great storage solution in the bedroom, and we highly recommend you get one that’s storage-focused.
At Get Laid Beds, we take a minimal approach to bedside tables with our floating shelf accessory. These get placed on the side of your bed frame to raise your storage off the ground, freeing up space on the floor.
5. Wall-Hung Storage
When it comes to storage, it’s not just your furniture that can help.
Looking beyond just your furniture can really help unlock the full potential of your bedroom. Wall-mounted storage with floating shelves and boxes is a brilliantly creative way of picking your possessions up off the floor and out of sight. That is, of course, unless you have anything you want to proudly display. In which case, this storage medium also works quite well!
While some may find the idea of drilling into walls daunting, don’t worry. As long as you can find a stud or have some drywall anchors, you too can benefit from the luxury of wall-mounted storage.
6. Radiator shelves
Covers and shelving units that fit over your radiator are the perfect solution for that extra bit of shelving space. For some small rooms, it could even replace a bedside table.
7. Have a spring clean
Now this is one you may not want to hear, especially if you’re a bit of a hoarder. But throwing out the old clothes that you no longer wear, old spare bedding that you never use, or that strange shaped pillow that you tried once all helps make more space for the things that matter.
If you want to save even more space, then try packing away your out-of-season clothes. Hiding away your summer shorts and shirts will open up much more space in your wardrobe, freeing up every valuable inch of storage space for your winter warmers.
Declutter With Get Laid Beds
A small space doesn’t mean the inability to store all your worldly possessions and Get Laid Beds wants to prove that to you.
Here at Get Laid Beds, we know it’s possible to have what you want and what you need. Ranging from a Cali king size bed with storage to just a twin bed with drawers, we’re positive we have something that will bring you a little joy in your life.
