Well, I've moved back home, and I have no space whatsoever. I had a largeish room at uni, and accumulated a fair bit, but my room has partly been used as a dumping ground, so will need a clear out but also need a LOT of space saving ideas.
Willing to buy / simple DIY for furniture and stuff. I've got a desk, but it's way too high so that's gonna go. Wardrobe is in the corner and can't open cos the desk is against it, again full of stuff. Clothes drawers, I have 3 small drawers for all my clothes, obviously they don't fit. Then I have some metal shelves, with a TV, CRT monitor, some xbox stuff, a laptop and a telescope. Nothing I can really stuff away in the attic, unfortunately.
Considering getting a new bed that's raised up for some storage underneath, but still... it's ridiculous. My floor is covered in full boxes, and boxes have to be transfered from the bed to my desk chair in order to sleep / use the computer.
In my defence, I had a bigger room but was demoted when I went to uni, and then since I was away (and didn't like coming back for any long period, lol) any odd bits around the house have been stored in my room.
Gonna start eBaying some of the stuffI guess though.

Anyway i'd move out the stuff that isn't yours and doesn't need to be in there, then like Scary Monster said get some floor to ceiling storage, or if you really have to a raised bed or a bed with built in drawers or something.
My brother has stolen my room!!! I have to make him go back into his own when I occasionally come home. Haha. Ah well.
As soon as my brother went to uni i took all my gym stuff up there and took it over. Hes been demoted though sadly to the spare room. It's not really viable to spend 20k on a loft conversion to only have him sleep in it every few months!
I let my brother sleep in there on the condition that 1. he does no dodgy business with his girlfriend in there
When I have a place sorted of my own in May/June (when I finish uni), I'm just gonna tell him he can have it permanantly though. Its currently bright pink and purple so he is probably wanting to redecorate it! Haha!
What I'm thinking, is that your deep storage sounds a good idea. Get a higher bed, and shove in more shelves. Trash the wardrobe because that's dead space, and get a proper desk that can fit my computer stuff on. Damn monitor doesn't tilt down so I can't see it properly!!!
I'd love to let you have it back, but it's been so long (2/3 years?) that I have no clue where it is now! It's probably around somewhere, possibly in the garage...
At least you still have a room, some of us had theirs given away :nervous:
Probably signed up and forgot about the account?
he's just being silly, ignore him. My room is tiny.
