Smart Bedroom Storage Solutions: A Modern Wardrobe Setup Worth Discovering

22.03.2025

Mauritz recently visited the well-known furniture store Aiko, where he captured a beautifully designed bedroom interior that perfectly blends style with functionality. One standout feature? The impressive and cleverly integrated wardrobe system. This article takes you through every detail of this setup—from the corner cabinets to the hidden storage compartments—providing inspiration for anyone looking to upgrade their bedroom.

A Corner Wardrobe That Maximizes Every Inch

The centerpiece of this bedroom layout is without a doubt the custom-fitted corner wardrobe. With its seamless integration into the room's architecture, it uses every inch of space efficiently—making it ideal for smaller bedrooms or for anyone who values minimalist design without sacrificing storage.

The wardrobe is composed of several modular units that fit together into a cohesive whole. It features soft matte grey fronts, wood-accented handles, and cleverly angled doors that create a flowing line through the room. One corner unit even includes open shelving, ideal for books, decorative items, or quick-access essentials.

Overhead Storage: Sleek, Spacious, and Hidden

Above the bed, you'll find sleek overhead cabinets with push-to-open doors. These offer generous storage space for items you don't use daily—like seasonal clothing, extra bedding, or suitcases. The top cabinets maintain the clean design aesthetic while offering practical vertical storage.

The use of light grey panels helps the storage units blend in with the walls, reducing visual clutter and maintaining an airy feel in the room.

Integrated Bookshelves and Nightstand Units

On either side of the bed, slim built-in bookshelves add character and usability. These shelves are not just decorative—they are fully functional storage zones for books, small lighting, and accessories. Some sections even hold vertical slots for organizing magazines or documents.

Attached to these shelves are floating nightstand elements in matching grey, giving the setup a cohesive and elegant look. The surface is just enough for your evening book, a glass of water, or your phone charger.

Thoughtful Interior Organization Inside the Wardrobes

When opened, the wardrobe doors reveal more smart features. Inside, you'll find:

  • Hanging rods for shirts, coats, and dresses

  • Deep shelves for folded clothes and boxes

  • Drawer systems for undergarments and accessories

  • A pull-out organizer tray, perfect for watches, jewelry, and small items

One section includes a dedicated set of drawers with clean white fronts and soft-close features. Above that, a pull-out grid drawer offers perfectly sectioned compartments—ideal for keeping things tidy and easy to find.

Open Shelving for Decorative Touches

Beyond pure functionality, the design incorporates open shelving in wood veneer finishes, providing warmth and contrast to the cool grey cabinetry. These sections are great for showcasing books, candles, plants, or framed photos—adding a personal and decorative touch to the room.

Coordinated Colors and Textures

The bedding, with its bold geometric pattern in yellow, grey, and beige, ties the whole look together. Combined with mustard and taupe throw pillows, the color palette feels both cozy and modern. The wood elements, which appear consistently in the headboard, shelving, and drawer accents, soften the overall design and make the room feel inviting.

This bedroom solution from Aiko is more than just beautiful—it's a masterclass in smart storage design. Whether you're working with a small space or simply want to streamline your bedroom, this setup proves that function and style can go hand-in-hand. The careful attention to layout, modularity, and aesthetic consistency makes it an ideal choice for modern living.

IKEA has officially begun phasing out the beloved MALM series, replacing it with a new and safer alternative: STORKLINTA. But what exactly is different between these two lines of bedroom furniture? Here's everything you need to know if you're considering a switch or just curious about the change.
