Especially in a rental, storage is very hard to come by. My favorite bed solution for storage comes from Pottery Barn. This is a beautiful wooden bed that comes in 3 different colors, and has either baskets or drawers to hold storage… it’s out of the way, but easy to access. I would love to have this bed and put shoes in the baskets. (Somehow I never have enough places for my shoes!) It’s a bit of an investment, but its three piece design will make the transition from rental to home seamless.

Another one of my favorite solutions is from Ikea. This is a wardrobe with shelves inside that could easily hold a myriad of leftover items that need a home. The design is so sleek, it can transform from modern to traditional, living room to bedroom.
