Don’t neglect small accessories – they need a designated place too. Having these guys piled up in a corner or shelf can really make or break the feeling of chaos. Clear acrylic boxes or no-frills baskets are a good way to organize small items if you don’t have a drawer.

Your walls are your best friends when you live small. Hang as much up as you can and save precious surface, drawer, and rail space for items that can’t go on walls.

Calling all organization junkies: Making the most of small closets

Our house has a fair amount of small closets, but we lost one in the renovation, so now we have to be even more organized in the closets that we have. So, I’ve been gathering up ideas and inspiration for how to make the most of what we have.

The secret seems to be bins and compartments designated for like items.

We will definitely be utilizing the back of doors, so I really had my eyes peeled to see how people utilized their own.

Maybe not as aesthetically pleasing, but clear bins can help you spot things more quickly.

Shelf dividers make it easier to grab items as opposed to pulling something from the bottom of a tall stack.

Little people have little things, so smaller bins will help keep little socks and hats in order. You could also add another rod between the top one since their clothing is not as long as adults’

Bedroom Storage

You all know how much I love light and beautiful bedrooms. Today I wanted to share with you what I think can be a tough obstacle for a bedroom – storage space.

I feel like every time I move, the amount of possessions I have to find space for doubles. It’s important to me that I have a way to tuck some of these things away and hide them so my bedroom can stay clean and serene.

If you’re like me, and can’t afford built-ins, a clever way to “fake” it is to find a piece of furniture that can mimic a built in. The white credenza in this room sits under the window and is white, just like a built in would be if it existed in this room.

You can also find a lot of storage solutions that double as decor, like old trunks.

One space you never want lacking in storage is the closet! I love built in style closets because they feel so luxe and it makes it really easy to store and find items. Not having enough storage space in a closet results in random boxes on the floor or above where you can’t reach them or end up not using the contents because it’s such a pain to get to them!

When everything has a spot your less likely to keep things you don’t need and it’s going to save so much time in your day not having to “find” all those missing things!

Keep it simple – sometimes, all you need is a few beautiful baskets to create the storage you need. A guest room may only need a few extra pillows and blankets and baskets can be a beautiful and functional way to fill that need.

Another options is to a bed with built in storage in it! Something like a double storage bed is a great option if you are having trouble finding space to create storage in your room or you just need that extra space.

The built in storage under the bed gives it a more flush and clean look – I personally don’t like to put things under the bed, so it’s a great option if you are like me.. There are plenty of different styles of double storage beds that you can choose from. Some have a similar look to multiple drawers or cubbies you can put fabric bins like under the window seat.
The most important factor is not only that the storage is functional, but that you like it, so sometimes it takes a bit of hunting to find a storage solution you like. You want your bedroom to be relaxing and clutter is the last thing that’s going to achieve that! Find a storage solution that doesn’t distract your eye or take away from much needed rest!
