Choose bedroom storage solutions that give you extra space while hiding what's inside. Here are some essentials:

- Use a dresser instead of open shelving. Unless you fold your T-shirts like a veteran Gap employee, open shelving is best left to the closet, where chaos can be concealed behind closed doors.

- Reduce nightstand clutter by stashing nightly essentials such as hand lotions, lip moisturizer, and reading glasses in the drawer and out of sight.

- A trunk or a hollow bench at the foot of the bed can store extra pillows, blankets, and linens or out-of-season clothing, as well as provide an extra perch in the room.

- Lift-up storage beds and beds with built-in drawers are great ways to put unused space to work.

- A headboard with storage cubbies gets books and magazines off the floor and within arm's reach.
