Make a built-in cabinet.
Even though it's a little more time-intensive, built-in storage is always a win-win. It doesn't take up any extra space, and what's better than that? In this example from J. Korsbon Designs, a built-in jewelry cabinet is found behind a mirror. As another space-saving solution, here's how to install an entire built-in dresser.

Ditch the standard nightstand.
Standard nightstands are useful, but there are better ways to maximize the storage potential of the space next to your bed. Instead of nightstands, opt for a rustic trunk or a small desk. Carts and stylish filing cabinets also make great options.
