11 Simple Tips For Bedroom Organization

Who says your bed needs to sit against a wall? Turn your tallest bookshelves into a modern, eclectic headboard, and you'll have easy access to your favorite bedtime reads.

Side tables tend to have small, slim drawers — hardly enough room to store all your essentials. A better, unexpected pick? Something like this wicker trunk, which has plenty of space for nighttime necessities and even extra blankets.

Don't toss your jewelry into a random junk drawer. Try a classic drawer divider, or get creative by using vintage teacups. Even better? An adorable arrangement will inspire you to maintain the organized space.

Walls at unusual angles, strangely-shaped corners — make the most of odd room dimensions by choosing furniture that fits. Think of your bedroom as a puzzle and do your best to arrange items in a smart, easy-to-access way.

If you're short on storage, try displaying some of your favorite items instead. Whether you're dealing with gorgeous clothing or unique travel souvenirs, use your imagination to fashion art out of your most treasured possessions.

Skip the standard table, and choose one with extra shelves instead. It's important to take advantage of any possible storage space, so learn to get crafty. Try to view your room with fresh eyes, then ask yourself: "Where can I add more surface area?"

If you have room for an extra dresser or bookcase, use it! Even if you're not quite sure what you'll store in the second piece of furniture, you should still take advantage of the space. Chances are there will be something you'd like to stow away.
