“Using the stairs for storage has also become a popular trend, especially for walking closets…and the user doesn’t have to climb up a ladder to get things from the top of a cabinet,” said Clifton.
Storing items in drawers under the bed is nothing new. The smarter alternative nowadays is to store the lesser-used things under an elevated floor, which is a clever way of using all the space available in a small bedroom. For those who like a Japanese touch, it is suggested to install a tatami platform floor that creates hidden storage space underneath. With a few more cushions, it also serves as informal seating for occupants and guests, especially in a small studio space.
