Under the bed
That’s prime real estate that you could be using as storage. A fancy upgrade would be to create a platform bed.
Or if you’re working on a budget like yours truly, simply increase that storage area with this home organization hack: bed risers*.
These zippered drawers* fit perfectly underneath the bed. (via Pin image)
Under the mattress
Bet you didn’t think of using the space under your mattress to store stuff.
Extra sheets and linens are perfect to go in this totally forgotten space. Not only does it free up drawer or closet space, it’s so conveniently located for when it comes time to change out your sheets.

Near the headboard
If you have a bookcase, you could use that as your headboard.
Or install these shelves* in a staggered manner like so for some headboard storage on the dime. Also makes for nice home décor.
In the nightstand
If you’re lucky enough to have space for a nightstand, consider putting a power strip inside so that all your wires and electronics can be charged in one central location. (via Giddy Upcycled)In place of a night stand
If you like the idea of a nightstand don’t have the floor space to fit one, how about having a hanging shelf instead?
Such a clever repurposing of a kitchen piece* in your bedroom. You can even pick the number of “shelves” you want. (via Redbook Magazine)
Portable nightstand
Or better yet, use one of these foldable caddies* to keep your stuff bedside.
Perfect to take with you on trips, friend’s house, or to your college dorm as well.
At foot of the mbed
If you’ve got a skinny desk or shelf, you can have that at the end of your bed. Or have seating and storage space in one with this ottoman storage bench*. Love that it’s compartmentalized.
As bedside display
If you’re keen on showcasing your jewelry, accessories, keys, photos, and more, you may want to set up a pegboard, which isn't just for garage organization.
So easy to customize and change out as you please. (via Better Homes and Gardens)
Behind the door
One of these* behind the door can serve as a catch all for your random knick knacks. Hats, keys, sunglasses, and what have you. (via Pin image)In the closet
There are many great closet organization ideas to maximize the space in your closet, but one that you probably didn’t think of is using space behind your hanging clothes.
Simply stick these hooks* onto the backside and hang up more stuff. (via Cents and Order)
In the corner of the room
This is a pretty simple DIY project. Just turn a magazine holder* on its side and mount to any awkward or unused corner spaces.
Stack multiple for extra “shelves.” (via @lempideco)
