How to Increase Storage Space in Every Room of Your Home

Everyone can benefit from having more storage in their home. It could be as simple as adding a magazine rack in your living room to clear the clutter off your coffee table. It could be as innovative as using vertical space with stackable boxes to manage living room games and toy storage. Whether your home has one closet, a tiny kitchen and dining area, or an awkward bedroom layout, you can maximize your small space.

Consider incorporating multifunctional furniture, rearranging your room, or adding smaller storage solutions such as a narrow bookcase or slim sideboard. Our creative and stylish storage tips will make your home look and feel how you imagine it.

Create More Storage Space in Your Bedroom

Your bedroom should be your oasis where you sleep, relax, or lie on a cozy bed and read a book. The last thing you want to consider is where you will store out-of-season clothes, sports gear, or excess shoes. Why not consider the following?

A Bed With Bonus Storage

A bed with built-in drawers, such as our Bocelli storage bed, can increase your bedroom storage space. It allows you to use the area under your bed that would otherwise not be utilized.

Alternatively, consider a bed with shelving similar to our Victoria River Bed for displaying knickknacks and souvenirs without adding more furniture to your space.

Stylish Shelf and Drawer Options

Adding a chest of drawers to the closet can also increase your room storage in small spaces, especially kids’ room storage. Consider furniture that sits off the ground to make the space feel larger. If your room has no wardrobe, add a versatile piece of furniture, such as our Vanessa Carved Door wardrobe, which includes a drawer and shelves.

Living Room Storage Ideas

Your living room gets the most traffic in your home. Since it’s a shared space, it becomes overrun by clutter quickly.

Multifunctional Furniture

Multifunctional furniture such as storage ottomans and media centers are ideal for holding gaming accessories, remotes, books, and magazines. You can easily access what you require or hide it when entertaining guests.

Dual-Purpose Tables

Occasional or coffee tables with drawers are another way to maximize living room storage with versatile furniture. Our Harper coffee table features a built-in drawer and an under-table storage shelf, giving you two options for storing accessories. You can place stylish home decor or your most used items on the lower shelf while filling the drawer with smaller items you’d otherwise misplace.

Versatile Bookcases

If you don’t want to fill the middle of your living room with a coffee table, place a small bookcase at the side of your room. You can proudly display your favorite books and prized possessions or hide your living room accessories in a cupboard, drawer, or stylish basket on the shelf.

With some imagination, there’s no end to creative small-room storage ideas. It doesn’t end with the living and bedroom areas, either.

Optimizing Storage Space in Your Kitchen

If you have a small kitchen with limited storage, you can optimize your shelf space by storing similar items in labeled baskets. Alternatively, a counter-height dining table works well in an open-plan kitchen or dining space. You can use the tabletop as another preparation area. We have a range of counter-height dining suites featuring drawers for plates and utensils, or you can enjoy the easy storage and convenience of a table with built-in shelves.

Decluttering Your Home Theater

A home theater should be as sleek and sophisticated as the advanced tech it relies on. Consider the following:

Media Centers and Consoles

Rather than hanging your TV on the wall and wondering where to put your other accessories, an entertainment console is an ideal storage solution. It can house everything you want and more in one stylish piece. You can opt for a media center with plenty of open-shelf storage to close off the television when not in use.

Creative Use of Cabinets

Alternatively, select a smaller living room storage cabinet with numerous drawers for storing remotes and games. Maximizing your storage in one moderate piece of furniture can prevent cluttering your small media room with several storage consoles.

Dining Room Storage Ideas

There is no fun in hunting through cupboards to find the perfect dish or table setting just as your dinner guests arrive. One downside of small spaces is trying to fit more things into less storage space, but solutions are at hand.

Sideboards: Designed for Serving and Space Saving

We recommend incorporating a dining room storage cabinet or a sideboard into your dining room. You can store excess plates, dishes, candles, and placemats in an easily accessible cabinet.

A Beautiful Buffet Alternative

The top of a stylish buffet can also work as another surface for serving drinks or storing glasses. If you want to showcase your fine china or crystal, look for a server with open shelving and cupboards. Alternatively, use your sentimental items as decor on your buffet.
