Before moving into my own spacious one-bedroom apartment, I lived with three other girls and had the smallest room in our four-bed unit. Like, so small the only furniture that could fit was a full size (I haven't had one of these since middle school), , desk chair, and four Ikea I used for dresser space. It sounds a lot worse than what it actually was, so believe me when I say that having a small room isn't , it's just a challenge—and one that calls for creative organizing solutions.

"In small spaces, prioritizing storage solutions is essential," says founder and president Amanda Zuckerman. "Effective planning helps keep your area organized and clutter-free, and it’s all about maximizing the space you have." I happily took on the challenge of using damn near every square inch of that bedroom and made it work for about two-and-a-half years, all thanks to some of the below organization tips.

So if you are currently looking for storage ideas for a small bedroom, then keep scrolling and get ready to basically have your whole life changed. Use the height of the room. Where my room lacked in square footage, it made up for in height.

I utilized every inch of the tall ceilings and loaded up my walls with shelves. This is a fun way to add personality with decor, but it's also a nice way to store some of your belongings while making them come across as thoughtful decor. For example, I had a few handbags that didn't fit in my closet, so I styled them on a shelf and boom—the chices.
