    There are a number of ways you can create space in a small area. If you are willing to invest some money, you can always get a high bed with storage cabinets under it. That way your belongings go in the cabinets and your rooms stays clean too.
    If you have any groves or depressions in your room, why not install racks in it or clothes hanger if you want to. Then, simply put a curtain rod in front and put some bright curtains over it. If your room is also closed and without windows, this trick does wonders. It not only helps you keep your belongings off the floor, it also lends an air of space as curtains appear to have windows behind them.
    If you do have windows and you have a wide window sill, why not convert that area into your bed so that the rest of the room is more available for cabinets etc. Put in
    some plump cushions and a bright cheerful cover on and your room will be the most warm and cosy in the house.
    Instead of floor space, think in terms of wall space. Install racks and units on the walls to maximize the space. Racks placed by or under a mirror can serve as your dresser, above or besides a table they can serve as book racks etc. You can place racks beside your bed too as bedside tables and then put in many layers in which you can put your things. Install a pull up canvas sheet for the racks so that your belongings are enclosed and not available for everybody's eyes. How about painting some nice pictures
    on the canvas while you are at it? That would make your room interesting.
    Hope this helps you!
