As someone with ADHD, keeping my bedroom organized has always been challenging for me. However, I’ve learned a few tips and tricks that might help other women like me who are struggling with finding ways to optimize storage spaces and make them work for us. In this blog post, I’ll share some of my favorite creative ways to maximize storage space in your bedroom without compromising on functionality or style.
1. Use Bed Risers
This tip may be a head-scratcher, but hear me out. Bed risers are an easy and affordable way to create extra storage space under your bed. They raise the height of your bed and allow you to store items such as shoes, clothing, and bedding underneath.
You can find bed risers in various heights and styles to suit your preferences. Use a bed skirt to cover the risers and hide the stored items underneath.
2. Install a Wall-Mounted Coat Rack
A wall-mounted coat rack is not just for hanging coats—it can also be a fantastic storage solution for hanging handbags, scarves, and jewelry. I like to choose racks with decorative hooks that enhance the look of my bedroom while also providing practical storage space.
3. Add Shelves Above Your Bed
Adding shelves above your bed is a perfect way to utilize vertical space for storage. You can place books, decorative items, and even jewelry boxes on the shelves to keep them organized and accessible. I also like to use these shelves to store decorative items I’ve picked up during my travels. Avoid installing shelves that are too high—ensuring the shelves are at an accessible height helps you keep the items clean and dust-free.
4. Use Multi-Functional Furniture
Investing in multi-functional furniture is an excellent way to optimize storage space without compromising style. Multi-functional furniture includes ottomans with built-in storage, bedside tables with drawers or shelves, and platform beds with built-in storage drawers. Using these items is the perfect way to achieve a cohesive look while efficiently using the available storage space.
5. Hang a Pegboard
Hanging a pegboard on the wall above your desk or dressing table is an inexpensive and visually appealing way to organize various items. You can hang plants, jewelry, bags, notes, and office supplies on the board. Because everything is in plain sight, it’s easy to find what you need while saving valuable counter or drawer space.
Having ADHD doesn’t mean that your bedroom has to be messy and chaotic. With these creative storage solutions, you can keep your room organized and tidy while expressing your personality through your décor. These above tips will transform your bedroom into a sanctuary.
Remember that organizing your bedroom might require some trial and error, so don’t be afraid to test different furniture arrangements and storage options until you find what works for you.
