15 Storage Ideas to Maximize Small Spaces

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 colors to keep your space comfortable and tidy. 

  • Multi-purpose pieces like IKEA’s STRANDMON Ottoman 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 miscellaneous items (such as TV remotes and extra coasters) tidy. 
  • Your living room can double as a guest bedroom with the handy FRIHETEN Corner sofa-bed with storage. There’s even space for the spare bedding!

Hire a Tasker to assemble your living room furniture.



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 a 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 hide the clutter and can sit in otherwise wasted space.
  • The often-forgotten back of your bathroom door can also be used for hanging storage solutions.

Hallway & under stairs space savers

  • Get shoes off the floor with the IKEA HEMNES Shoe cabinet—its slim design fits in even the narrowest hallways.
  • Fill the area under your stairs with shelving and door hooks so the space can be used from top to bottom. Pull-out drawers can also work.
  • If the area under your stairs 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.
