4 Ways To Make the Most out of a Small Bedroom
When you have a small space—especially a small bedroom—you shouldn’t feel the need to limit your choices in furnishings. Comfort and style are well within reach, even when you can practically touch opposite walls at the same time! Here are four ways to make the most out of a small bedroom. Use these few fun tips and tricks to get the most out of your less-than-cavernous sleeping space.
Go Multifunctional
Multifunctional furniture is always the first and best choice for places where space is in demand. Make your furniture do double and even triple duty. Pick a bed with built-in storage below or a headboard that doubles as a shelving unit. Pick a work desk that also serves as your nightstand and grooming station. And, of course, find shelves and other organizers that maximize closet space. Or install pieces that turn a closet into an annex for reading, studying, or what have you.
Think Vertical
There’s more space in your room than the floor offers. Look up and around! Walls accommodate floating shelves and cabinets all the way up to the ceiling. Hanging organizers turn doors into storage units for smaller things, such as shoes, socks, and accessories. Even that slim space above the door can host a shelf for possessions you may not need right away but would like to keep handy.
Fake Yourself Out
Okay, this doesn’t really create space, but it tricks you into thinking the room is much larger than it is. Mirrors grant a sense of openness by reflecting light in the bedroom. Creating a system of lights and mirrors makes it seem less dark and even airy. And wall sconces won’t take up floor space, leaving more room for other things.
Discard the Clutter
Every room looks large when there’s less stuff in it. Stay on top of the clutter by periodically collecting and discarding things that you don’t need, you never use, or simply don’t work anymore. Go minimalist by keeping only the things that you really like or at least still serve a purpose. Of course, you don’t need to go scorched earth. Store things that you might need another time as long as they’re out of sight in a box, a closet, or elsewhere. Decluttering keeps things open and tidy, which is good for your mental wellness too.
Those are just four ways to make the most out of a small bedroom. Remember—it’s not about the space, it’s how well you use the space you have. Looking for the right bedroom pieces? Contact us today. We offer bedroom furniture on credit and more!
