10 clever bedroom storage solutions for small spaces

One of the biggest home storage issues is finding room in a bedroom that has limited square footage. All hope is not lost, however, if you don't have a spacious walk-in closet or room for an oversized dresser. There are plenty of creative solutions to stow your items, even when you might be spatially challenged.

The bedroom storage ideas below provide all the inspiration you need for tucking things away, without creating unnecessary clutter. Check out these perfect ways to store clothing, shoes, accessories, and other personal belongings in your small space.

One typically underutilized space is under the bed, mostly because it's used inefficiently when we shove things there and forget about them. Use simple plastic containers to wrangle clothing or check out how ThriftyCraftyGirl creates rolling storage with dresser drawers.

This is the easiest DIY closet hack ever. Simply grab a couple of office file trays, like these seen at TheBaloneyBug, and mount them on a closet door. They're the ideal size for small items, like socks, belts, and scarves.

Slip a soda can tab over a hanger for the easiest closet hack ever, as seen at TheShabbyCreekCottage.

A closet door often goes to waste when it comes to storage, so these clever over-the-door shoe hangers, as seen at BHG, do the trick nicely for organizing shoes without sacrificing floor space. Bonus: you can also tuck belts and accessories in the pockets!
