SPLURGE: Our bedrooms often become the storage area for not only our clothes but also books, keepsakes, make-up, jewelry and more! Main storage pieces like a dresser or chest of drawers, will receive frequent use making quality an important consideration.

SAVE: For added storage, make use of the space below the dresser, under the bed or at the top of the closet for storing out-of-season items or rarely used items in boxes.

SMALL SPACE TIP: Make use of vertical space! Choosing a tall, narrow chest or wardrobe instead of a long dresser will allow you make better use of floor space within a small bedroom.
