those bunk bed office set ups are good too. they are a fill size bed up high like a bunk bed, and room for a computer desk under.

cube shelving and baskets will use a wall and make it cute and functional.

avoid dressers by getting rolling totes and sliding them under the bed. if your bed is low, get risers to raise it up about 6 inches.

corner computer desks are great, they have room above your head for a printer, and stack peices.

make your bathroom(s)’ cabinet space count, add shelves under the sink and stack all you can there.

purchase seating that has storage under the cushins.

instead of folding your clothes, tightly roll them into logs. and ball socks military style. my drawers have never held so much!!

have fun.

This will define the line between the floor and walls. Trim colors that contrast with walls and ceilings might suit your style in one room, while a more subtle color change might be right somewhere else in the house.

You can liven up plain, flat walls by adding moldings so as to create panels around the room. For best results, make sure you keep your working area within the proper temperature range recommended for the paint.

All interior woodwork that has been stripped, from baseboard to dining room tables, needs to be primed with either a standard acrylic wood primer. After that you can paint on it with oil-based flat eggshell, gloss, or acrylic paints.

Most interior woodwork looks best in an eggshell finish, as high-gloss paint can have a rather bleak, deadening effect. If your plan is to paint walls, ceiling, and trim, then it’s best to get the trim painted first, along with the room’s windows and doors. Paint woodwork in small sections. Keeping a wet edge to avoid lap marks.

A wide range of broken-color effects work well on woodwork, but ideally you should use oil-based paints as latex has little durability on wood. Stains add color to wood while allowing its natural grain pattern to show through.

Varnishes are clear finishes that form a tough coating over stain. They are available in a range of finish sheens from satin to high gloss. At the end of a project, combine all of the leftover paint of the same color into as few cans as possible.

My sister had a similar problem in her house. Old house, no coat closet. We hung single hooks on the wall behind her door for coats, book bags, etc. It keeps everything neat and the hooks themselves are almost like art.

If that doesn't work for you, then search second-hand shops for armoirs. They make great storage pieces and can be outfitted for almost anything — closets or even a pantry.

You may also want to see what furniture you have, or could purchase, that could serve a dual purpose. For instance, I needed more storage in my living room for blankets and games, etc. so I purchased a vintage 4 drawer chest. I put the TV on top of the chest & use the drawers for storage. Looks nice & it really cleared up some of the clutter.

Good luck!
