There are no miracles, so before you even think about organizing your bachelor pad, start with a thorough cleaning. Getting rid of excess items will make your task easier. For a successful tidy up, make a plan of action and, meter by meter, tidy up!

This is a piece of furniture that can be very helpful when it comes to storage. A bed equipped with a chest or a pull-out drawer is a great idea, because you can confidently hide there, for example, bedding, blankets, pillows or whatever you want. There’s plenty of space underneath the mattress to make use of it. By the way, it’s worth noting that you can also hide quite a lot inside a sofa bed. If you choose this type of sofa, you’ll have a lot of space inside.
There is no doubt that baskets and containers are a great help when it comes to storing small things. Not only on the internet but also in many chain stores you will find these types of items that will greatly improve storage in your bachelor pad and beyond. Bins work especially well in rooms like the kitchen and bathroom, but not only there. Larger baskets store more than just small things – they’re invaluable when it comes to children’s toys, for example. Plus, baskets and containers can be a design element!
