An Ikea hack is probably the most DIY we'll ever attempt. Thanks to the furniture shop's trustworthy and streamlined designs, we *just* about trust ourselves to turn one of their classic pieces into something a little more chic. When it comes to small bedrooms, it's all about storage. Because even with under bed storage sorted, these Ikea hacks are perfect for maximising 'dead' space and making your square footage feel bigger. It could be wall mounting things rather than stacking them on the floor, or even introducing a little trolley for keeping your home workout stuff together. Here are our pick of the best.

1 Use a stool rather than a chair

Got a vanity unit but find yourself tripping over the chair that juts out? Invest in a little stool that slots slyly underneath, for space saving *and* a stylish look.

Get a stool with storage to hide even more stuff away.

3 Use a trolley as a flexible storage space

If you're not in the position to start putting up shelves or investing in large storage items, consider a small trolley. Great for wheeling around your room and also for mixing it up - a gym one month, or a library on wheels the next.

5 Combine shelving with your bedside table

If you haven't got space for a bedside table *and* bookcase, why not use the top of a bookcase as your bedside table?

6 Consider combining your bedroom *and* walk-in wardrobe

OK, so this is quite an extreme Ikea bedroom hack. But really maximise space by making the most of wall space as well as floor space, by building loads of storage space underneath your bed frame.

7 Create a platform bed

For a lesser version, you can still avoid wasting space under your bed by creating a platform bed with lots of pull out drawers.

8 Make use of awkward spaces

Don't let any storage opportunities go to waste with these brilliant floating corner shelves, perfect for storing all your bits and bobs.

9 Mount your vanity unit on the walls

Create the illusion of more floor space by mounting your vanity unit on the wall. The lack of legs allows for storage baskets or boxes below, too.

10 Create extra shoe storage with a tension rod

Remember what we were saying about making use of dead spaces? This shoe storage is a great example of that, and can be created by fixing a pole to the wall or with a tension rod.

11 Wall mount slim cabinets for awkward side-of-bed areas

Ikea's slim shoe cabinets are great for popping down the side of your bed or down skinny corridors that you can't fit a full size chest of drawers in.

12 Create a desk as part of your storage

No space for a desk and two chest of drawer? Don't worry! Combine the two with an extra long worktop, leaving enough space to slot your chair in the middle.

13 Wall mount your bedside shelves (and lights!)

Don't fret about cluttering up floor space by mounting your bedside table on the wall. Then, don't fret about using up bedside table space by mounting your light on the wall. Brilliant.
