Whether your bedroom is blessed with tons of space or cursed with the same space Harry Potter had under the stairs, we at Perfect Property Ireland have assembled a list of 8 handy ways to maximise the space in your bedroom:

1. Bed With Storage

Choose a bed that is equipped with storage capabilities. Select one that is high off the ground so you can store items below, or choose a bed that comes with built-in drawers.

2. Go Vertical With Storage

Wall space is vital for storing items in a small bedroom. Consider installing floating shelves, decorative storage ladders, or wall-mounted furniture.

3. Choose Double Duty Furniture

Purchase furniture that is multi purposed. Select a nightstand that is also a desk, or small storage cabinets in lieu of a traditional side table.

4. Mirrors & Proper Lighting

Mirrors aren’t just practical for getting yourself ready in the morning, they also create the illusion of more light and space. The bigger the better! Ideally place it so that it reflects a window, that way it opens up the room.

5. Stay Neutral

Multi-coloured walls, or dark paint colours on more than one wall can create a closed-in effect. Choose light and airy colours that will make your space appear larger. If you want to go bold, choose one wall as a statement, we love forest green or a deep burgundy.

6. Declutter and Use Less Furniture

It may be tempting to incorporate a lot of petite furniture and decorative items into your room. However, these smaller pieces creates a cluttered look. Instead, choose a few larger and double functioning pieces of furniture to maximise space in your bedroom. When decorating choose one or two statement pieces of art and only a few trinkets or decorative items.

7. Make the Most Out of Your Wardrobe

Even small closets have the ability to store multiple items. Consider installing an organisation system and utilise the wardrobe doors by putting in hanging storage racks.

8. Use Decorative Storage Boxes

Conceal items by placing them in beautiful storage containers. Create the illusion that storage boxes are for fashion instead of function!
