The Best Furniture Pieces for Extra Bedroom Storage

There are several great ways to create more space for your home. No matter the size, you sometimes need some extra room. Luckily, you can get that room in style and with substance. There are many ways to put extra storage in your bedroom, and we’re here to show you the pieces you can use to help you get the spaces you need. Check out our best furniture pieces for extra bedroom storage below.

Storage Bench

First, if you want a piece of furniture to double as a storage unit, the best way to do this is to invest in a storage bench. There’s nothing better than having a place to sit and a place to store your belongings. How revolutionary is putting things inside your furniture while still using it? Additionally, you can fit a storage bench virtually anywhere, whether next to a window or at the foot of the bed. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors, making them easy to fit into any interior design scheme.

The Bookcase

You have to put your books someplace. Bookcases are excellent for, well, storing books. But you can also use them for placing mementos and knick-knacks like statues and bookends. Some people use bookcases for shelving dolls or figurines and other collectibles. In short, when it comes to a good bookcase, there’s a ton of room to get creative. In addition to this, there are many types of bookcases. You can even get floating shelves that you can put on your wall, giving you far more space to work with. You go into that more later.

Ornate Chest

You can’t exactly sit on an ornate chest like a storage bench, but what you lose in form, you make up for in functionality. Chests are exceedingly useful in many ways and can serve as your central storage unit, similar to your storage bench. Most people choose the chest over the storage bench since you can get many of them much cheaper than a bench. However, chests store more items since that’s their sole function, whereas storage benches tend to be more compact. The choice is ultimately yours. Perhaps you can buy both and have more space for your needs.

Collapsible Table

You may be thinking that a table in a bedroom sounds odd. But, yes, it’s possible to have a small table in a bedroom, especially if it’s collapsible. That’s the benefit: collapsible tables can start huge, but you can close them up if necessary. They’re perfect if you need a space to sit, study, or work. You can fold them up and place them off to the side if you need more room. It’s the perfect setup for productivity that won’t make things too crowded when you’re trying to add storage space.

Storage Bed

This is yet another piece of storage furniture, but it’s one of the most important. It also keeps things tidy. How many people get random items stuck under their beds? To mitigate this, you can go for a storage bed where you can pull out drawers to store everything neatly. This might even completely replace a dresser if you play your cards right and have enough storage space. Instead of a full-blown dresser with a mirror, you can save that precious space by using your bed instead. The storage bed is also perfect if you have pets that may normally try to climb under the bed. You won’t need to worry about that problem if you have a storage bed.

Floating Shelf

We briefly mentioned this in our section on bookcases, but floating shelves are great for using wall real estate without taking up any extra space in your room. They’re useful for holding virtually anything from smaller statues and knick-knacks to mugs, cups, and other inexpensive items. We say inexpensive because we wouldn’t recommend anything valuable. After all, it’s floating off the floor. That said, if you have children and want a place to keep toys off the ground, you should get the floating shelf.

Modular Sofa

A modular sofa is one of the few sofas that can fit in small spaces. Its L-shaped configuration makes it perfect for fitting in a corner. You can even add a small ottoman for maximum comfort. Additionally, you can pull it apart and separate it into pieces that you can place at different spots in the room. This means you’ll have a space to lounge and relax, perhaps by the bed or an open window with the wind gently blowing against your face. A modular sofa in your bedroom is quite the luxury. This is the perfect furniture piece for extra bedroom storage if you want to save space.

Bar Stool

Let’s say you don’t want to go “full sofa,” but you want to have a place to sit. You may have decided to get a small collapsible table for your room rather than the standard office table to save even more space. If so, try getting a bar stool rather than an office chair. Ergonomic office chairs can run anywhere from $200 to $300. So a bar stool that’s $30 may be a more manageable choice and certainly something you’ll want to invest in if you decide to go with the collapsible table above. The bar stool will give you more room for storage-focused pieces.

Bonus: Organize Your Closet

While not exactly furniture, your closet is a foundational storage space. Organizing your closet can be a pain; we understand this too well. However, you must do it if you want to save some space for your bedroom in the long run. Instead of keeping shoes on the floor in your bedroom, toys for the children, or other accessories, you can place them neatly in bins in your closet. Alternatively, you can use floating shelves and arrange your shoes up top. You can place your laundry basket in your closet if it’s big enough. This way, you can keep it out of the way in your room and have a place to put your dirty clothes, which helps you declutter.

In short, we know you won’t be able to fit everything on this list into your room, and some things may not even be practical for your situation, depending on room size. However, even a few furniture changes can make all the difference.
