When we first wrote about The Jennings, a boutique hotel in rural Joseph, Oregon, there were only five rooms that were guest-ready. Checking in a year and a half later, we’re happy to report that owner Greg Hennes has nearly doubled that number to nine. Each room has been rigorously edited and stylishly decorated, but what is particularly noteworthy to us this time around are all the smart small-space storage ideas.
Instead of hampering the rooms with clunky storage pieces, many of them feature wall-mounted organizational solutions. Here are a few especially chic ideas:

1. Wrap the room with a peg rail.

2. Lose the nightstand.

3. Use a coat rack that’s pretty whether empty or filled.

4. Go high with the night lights.
Above: Not only do these Rejuvenation sconces help bring the eye up—a good idea when you have a platform bed—but they also free up the nightstands for your favorite reads.
5. Choose open shelves.
Above: Imagine this space with cabinets and book shelves—it would have an entirely different vibe. Open shelves give this communal kitchen and library an airy feel.
6. Consider what lies beneath.
