Keeping small spaces clutter-free can be a challenge, but with a few clever storage solutions you can create a home that’s both stylish and functional. Here, we share our top storage ideas to make even your smallest spaces feel bigger.
Living area tips
When it comes to your living area, opt for multi-functional furniture in neutral colours to keep your space comfortable and tidy.
- Multi-purpose pieces like IKEA’s STRANDMON Footstool with storage can do four jobs without taking up much space. Use it for storage and as a table, seat, or footrest.
- A coffee table with drawers will help keep those miscellaneous bits and bobs tidy, like TV remotes and extra coasters.
- Your living room can double up as a guest bedroom with the handy FRIHETEN Corner sofa-bed with storage – there’s even space for the spare bedding.

Bedroom storage ideas
- Ottoman beds or beds with drawers provide more storage and take up no extra space. The IKEA IDANÄS Upholstered ottoman bed is a timeless, minimalist design.
- Or get creative with your bedside furniture, from inbuilt cupboards and drawers to the BRIMNES Headboard with storage compartment.
- Invest in full height wardrobe storage solutions, like the flexible PAX Wardrobes to use all your vertical space. Factor in sliding doors too, as they give you more room.

Bathroom storage ideas
- Wall mounted cabinets are perfect above the bathroom sink. The IKEA ENHET Mirror cabinet with 2 doors helps to make the space feel bigger too.
- Under sink cupboards tidy away the clutter and sit in otherwise wasted space.
- Utilise the often forgotten back of your bathroom door with hanging storage solutions.

Hallway & under stairs space savers
- Get shoes off the floor with the IKEA HEMNES Shoe cabinet – its slim design fits the narrowest of hallways.
- Fill your under stairs area with shelving and hooks on the door, so the space can be used from top to bottom. Pull out drawers can also work.
- If your under stairs area is open, you could transform it into a study nook by adding a slim desk complete with drawers. The IKEA BESTÅ BURS Desk is a versatile option.

Tips for every room
- Store seasonal and less-used items in decorative boxes on shelves above head height.
- Add space for books and objects into under-utilsed spaces, awkward corners or alcoves with floating shelves like the LACK Wall shelf.
- Think vertically. Max out the height of cabinets and other storage units to make use of every inch of space.
