The Best Products At IKEA To Help You Organize Your Bedroom

Ikea has been in the business of clean, easy living for decades. Founded in 1943, the brand now serves a global consumer base through 460 stores that can be found on every continent. The retailer is best known for cost-effective furniture brought home in flat-packed boxes, and homeowners have been DIYing Ikea hacks to create customized pieces with the bones of the seller's products for years. Whether you've engaged in this chopping and changing or stuck to the products' intended assembly guidelines, Ikea furniture remains a crucial resource for homeowners of all varieties and across the country.

Organization is a big part of the Ikea appeal. With clean lines and a simple, Scandinavian decorating sense, anyone can improve upon the organizational structure of their home or room with a few purchases from the massive furniture retailer. The bedroom is perhaps one of the most important places to focus when seeking this transformation. Your bedroom is where you start and end each day, and so it acts as a kind of launchpad for your hopes and dreams and a soft landing spot in the evening. Fortunately, Ikea provides a sizeable volume of organizational and decorative options for the bedroom to help facilitate this calmness and comfort.

Utilizing the storage area under your bed is an excellent way to take the pressure off your closet, cabinets, and other areas of the bedroom and house. The bed can be a lifesaver, and Ikea offers a smattering of drawer options that can fit directly under the bed. Selling for $659, The MALM Storage Bed uses a hydraulic lifting system to open up the space beneath your mattress for storage. This product sports over 300 5-star reviews, with many noting their happiness with the price tag, bed frame size, and the premium feel of the material used in its construction. Ikea reports that the full-double bed frame has a length of 78¾ inches and a width of 59 inches — with a headboard rising to 39⅜ inches. The bed frame rises 15 inches off the floor, providing a quality lift for the mattress and ample storage space beneath the feature.

Alternatively, a bed with drawers can be a feature that allows you to eliminate a bulky dresser in favor of something sleeker and better for general storage and organization. If your bed is already raised off the ground and you don't want to change the frame, the FREDVANG drawer unit can be a quality alternative. Listed at $59.99, the drawer offers front and top storage, and with the rollers on the bottom included, it only extends 7⅛ inches off the ground. The reviews rave about the feature, too, noting that it's easy to build and use.

For those looking for something different for the bedroom or even the living room, the KALLAX collection is also a versatile option. KALLAX shelves come in a variety of configurations and colors, and this makes them incredibly customizable. Depending on your chosen design, the storage pockets are laid out as square cavities arranged in a rectangular or square pattern. They can even be mounted directly to the wall as a hanging addition. KALLAX shelves come in small, rectangular configurations (offering four inline storage cubbies) and expand to a five-by-five square that provides 25 individual cubby slots. 

Ikea includes a KALLAX planner on their site as well. This allows you to visualize the shelving unit and play around with add-ons that will complete the feature. The 5x5 KALLAX starts at $249.99, and the 4x2 rectangular layout retails at 79.99. Shelving attached directly to the wall can be built with décor-agreeing brackets or as floating shelves. The sky is the limit here, and you can introduce as many shelves as is practical for your space.
