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 maximize the space in your bedroom:
-
Bed With Storage
Choose a mattress 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.
-
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.
-
Choose Double-Duty Furniture
Multi-purposed purchase furniture. Select a nightstand that is also a desk, or small storage cabinets instead of a traditional side table.
-
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.
-
Stay Neutral
Multi-colored walls or dark paint colors on more than one wall can create a closed-in effect. Choose light and airy colors 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.
-
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 create a cluttered look. Instead, choose a few larger and double functioning pieces of furniture to maximize space in your bedroom. When decorating, choose one or two statement pieces of art and only a few trinkets or decorative items.
-
Make the Most Out of Your Wardrobe
Even small closets can store multiple items. Consider installing an organization system and utilize the wardrobe doors by putting in hanging storage racks.
-
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!
