Saving some space in small bedrooms while making it look organized is a tricky task. Luckily, there are plenty of ways of being creative and making the best use of empty spaces. Here are some hacks to make your small bedrooms appear bigger.

Increase Closet Space With Crates

Installing crates can increase space in your closet. It is also known as a crate closet. Using this hack, you can stack more stuff vertically.

It is a comparatively inexpensive way to revamp your bedroom. If you like, you can create your own wooden crates using a few simple tools.

Make Use of “Bed-Shelves”

This is a clever hack for a small bedroom. You can build bed frames at the side and store stuff there. We call them "bed-shelves," which is a built-in shelf right underneath the bed.

In this way, you can maximize the usage of space. Store your blankets, pillows, or even clothes. This idea works if you prefer a slightly elevated bed from the floor, giving ample space to carve out shelves.

Valance Holder or Scarf Hanger?

Storing scarves in a small bedroom closet is nothing short of a nightmare. They are difficult to keep folded inside a closet drawer and tend to get tangled. In this case, make the best use of a valance holder.

These are simple knobs where you can hang any cloth items like scarves. You can glue them to the closet door or the bedroom door. Scarf hangers also work as a décor item, increasing the beauty of your bedroom.

Flip-Up Beds With Storage Underneath

Beds take up a lot of space in a bedroom, so a lot of hacks are focused on how to utilize the lost space. Flip-up beds are one of those smart ways to retrieve some negative space. Think of them as storage cupboards, but in large size.

You can flip them up and down. There are storage spaces just under the top flip-cover where you can store anything. However, flip-up beds differ from Murphy beds, as the latter once does not have storage boxes underneath.
