Help need advice on moving from large room to small room

I have been in a very large room for year in half and im moving to a new salon. The new room is half the size of my old room. Its 7.5X10ft. I have just enough room for my bed, equipment and just enough space to move around. In my old room i bought cupboards and put them in for storage and a counter. There is absolutely no room for that and my bed so i have no counter space or storage fortowels, sheets etc. Any ideas for me?

I am in the same situation. My room is 12x8.  I bought 2  standing cabinets off craiglist for $40. I painted them to go with my decor. One holds linens and the other my supplies. Hope that helps. Do you have a facial bed or massage bed?

I have a facial bed. I bought a corner cabinet that on wall up by the ceiling hoping that will at least hold my linens and I'll still have floor room. I'm trying to figure out where I'm going to put my towel warmer.... maybe under my bed not sure.
My room is tiny too (8×9). I bought a big free standing cabinet from Amazon pretty cheap. I put it in our dispensary. While the client is putting their clothes back on, I just go get my towels and linens for the next facial. I have a three shelf rolling cart for my towel warmer. It goes on top and the next two shelves i use for product and supplies. It works just fine. I push it against the wall at the end of the service to give the client more room when they get off the bed. Hope this gets the ideas flowing!

I purchased a "Billy" Bookcase from Ikea because it comes with doors you can attach and make into a cabinet and it is shallow enough not to stick out from the wall very far.  It really helps by holding my linens and supplies and can be locked if needed.  I put the foot of the facial bed in the corner and then had it come out at an angle so that I can sit at the head and still have room for things on my left and right.  I also purchased Tool Cart from Sams Club that has a beautiful wood top and stainless steel drawers.  They have a matching table that the cart fits under so I can put my hot towel cabbie and wax pots on.  I hope this helps.  It was a real challenge fitting everything in.  Let us know how it goes...

Could you buy or make a sling? I have one but I have a massage table. Could the cabinets be installed higher and use a stool?

 

Thank you!!
How about a wall shelf unit? You could get one with closed cabinets or if you want to get fancy glass- keep towels and supplies in there. I use under my bed for a few things - i keep them in closed color coded storage bins. Also if you could use an area or space right outside room or in bathroom for small cabinet? Another idea- smaller ottoman bench or foot ottoman could double as storage and whatever else you could use top of it for.
That's a good idea. What do you put under your bed?
Cleaning supplies- garbage bags- (no towels or products of course- just ons an ends that I may need to grab ( extra first aid supplies) hopefully never need to grab that one! I have a massage table so my "facial bed' that I rarely use is in corner with side table it sitting position. With massage table i use a regular bed skirt to cover fully or some of my blankets are long enough that nobody would see under- if they did peek its 4 bins that are closed and labeled. .

Can you post pictures of the room by chance?  I moved from a 300 sq ft to about 100 sq ft room so I know the feeling.  I have interior design background and would love to elp you with some space planning ideas.  You can text me anytime as well as you are out looking for ideas I would be happy to help.
