Ten well-organised bedrooms with clever storage solutions
For our latest lookbook, we have rounded up 10 bedrooms from the Dezeen archive that make use of smart storage solutions, including custom-made headboards and floor-to-ceiling wall units.
From basement one-bedroom apartments that use bookshelves as room partitions, to a plywood insertion in a children's bedroom that combines work, play and sleep, these interiors all feature clever storage.
Small cupboards inserted into headboards, below stairs and even within bed frames are also used to provide discreet additions to traditional storage units.
This is the latest in our series of lookbooks providing curated visual inspiration from Dezeen's image archive. For more inspiration see previous lookbooks showcasing interiors by Ukranian designers, coastal hotel interiors and self-designed homes by architects and designers.
