Think of all of the storage potential hiding underneath your bed!

Instead of wasting room with box springs and bed frames, consider this tacked drawer option to maximize space.

#2) Utilize A Small Bedroom Rolling Cart

Small rolling cards are so versatile and functional! The bin dimensions on this Ikea Raskog cart are just shy of 13″/17″ (much smaller than an average night stand).

It can also hold so much more.  They are fun to paint, wheel around, and fill with your belongings.

If you don’t have an IKEA close by, you can find a similar one on Amazon here.

 Bookshelves offer so much more storage space than a night stand. 

Framing the bed with a long board across the top of two bookshelves to complete the look and feel of a headboard.

I also love how they placed a cubby organizational unit (like this one) at the end of the bed for extra storage.  So smart!

This is a great way to get rid of the clutter on your night stand, or do away with one completely if you’re short on space.
