Adding storage to any space of your home is essential, we need it everywhere. How to effectively organize it all in a bedroom? First of all, you can go for wardrobes and dressers in the room, then you may use the headboard adding some storage space there. Open shelves, drawers under the bed and niches will help you organize things in your sleeping space and the last but not least is the foot of the bed. There we usually see a bench but this bench can be a storage one, or you can substitute it with some alternative that provides even more storage space. Here are some ideas to use the foot of your bed to store things.
Storage Benches
A storage bench is the most popular solution for a bedroom, it’s usually a bench with an additional shelf where you can place your shoes, books, bags and stuff. The design of this bench depends on your bedroom and vibe you want: it can be rustic, industrial or modern. A waterfall bench can be used for storage, too: just place some things under it on the floor. A bench can be finished off with baskets to keep it more organized.

Storage Units
No need to sit? Then skip a bench and choose a whole storage unit! Such a unit can be some piece like IKEA Kallax or another shelf or TV unit that includes storage space. The design is again up to your bedroom and the amount of storage space you need. A tall storage piece can double as a space divider.

Other Ideas
What we didn’t mention here is special storage furniture for bedrooms and not only bedrooms like poufs and ottomans that can be placed at the foot of the bed or in other spaces. This is perhaps the most comfortable idea as you get a ready furniture piece with hidden storage space in one, and there are lots of designs and upholstery types to match every space. Crates are the easiest way to add storage at the foot of the bed, and they won’t cost you much. You can restain or repaint them if you want to match the vibe of your room. Baskets are my personal favorite because they are easy to get and they bring cozy vibes to the space, besides, you can pair them up with other items.
